Insider Feature: Good Agents and Bad Agents

Every model needs an agent. That is not up for debate. But the agent sitting across from you could be the person who protects you from the worst this industry has to offer, or the person who quietly delivers you into it. In this episode Nakul goes into the full picture. The good, the bad, and the genuinely sinister. Because understanding both sides is what actually keeps you safe.We go into the scout system. The legendary scouts who changed lives with a single conversation. Kate Moss discovered at JFK Airport at fourteen, Gisele Bundchen spotted at a McDonald’s in São Paulo, Naomi Campbell approached in her school uniform in Covent Garden. And then Daniel Siad, named approximately two thousand times in the declassified Epstein files as a scout and recruiter of young women for Jeffrey Epstein’s network, who was sending girls from small villages in Poland, Slovakia, Hungary and Latvia directly into Epstein’s orbit. We also go into the promoter system. The nightclub circuit operating at the edges of fashion week in New York, Milan, Paris and London, how it works, who is behind it, and why it remains one of the primary access points for exploitation in the industry today.And we go into agents. The extraordinary ones who fight for you, educate you, and stand by you when things go wrong. And the ones who leave you out to dry the moment it costs them something. Nakul shares his own stories from both ends of that experience, plus the red flags and green flags every model needs to know before signing anything. Raw, honest, and from someone still inside the industry.Follow Nakul on Instagram @nakullaxwww.instagram.com/nakullaxEmail us at: [email protected]
