Natasha Duswalt is co-owner and CEO of Peak Models & Talent. As a former model, she has experience with both sides of the industry. In this in-depth interview Natasha speaks directly to aspiring models about being a model and what to expect from your agency.
[Maddy] What made you start your own agency?
[Natasha] Back in 1997 I was working full time as a model in the fashion industry fitting for many major labels including Speedo, ABS Clothing, Anne Cole Swimwear, Victoria’s Bridal, BCBG, Catalina swim and several other clients. I realized that there was so much work and that I was not going to be right for everything. I felt limited because there was only so much I could do in a day. I realized that if I could find models with my drive and work ethic that there was no limit on how much work I could book. The only difference was that I would not be the one physically doing the jobs. I also realized that many women in the modeling business especially the younger girls were being taken advantage of by people that were only interested in their own agenda. I wanted to create an agency that actually cared about the models represented.
