Created by Lana Winters in 2001, VNY Model Management, unlike many agencies in New York, has been known for being a boutique agency with a different approach. Refusing to be a factory, VNY carefully handpicks each model instead of taking in models from all over the world, in the hopes to find a few that will make it out of the many. Their image and reputation is the driving factor for their success and growth and it's what matters to them the most.

Working as an agent at many different top agencies in NYC before opening VNY, Lana Winters has seen what works and what doesn't. Her vision, belief and passion allowed her to build a foundation for VNY that will work to the best advantage to any model represented by their team.

VNY and Lana Winters is responsible for creating careers of models such as Nick Bryant, Damian T, Malcolm Jackson, Anderson Noel, Nick Snider, Anna W, Jordan Richardson, Irina K and more. VNY's reputation of working extra hard and getting fast results are the perks of a smaller agency, as well as the attention and time dedicated to each individual model. Know that if you are with VNY, you will have hands on personal attention focused on your career.
