About
Twenty Model Management was founded in Cape Town in 2005 by former model Robin Fryer. Robin began his career in 1993 and was later represented by Ford in New York, Marilyn Gaultier in Paris, and Why Not in Milan. In his two-decade long career Robin has appeared in over 100 television commercials, on the cover of the launch edition of Elle Man South Africa and in the pages of L'uomo Vogue, British Esquire, American GQ, Marie Claire, and Cosmopolitan. He has shared the runway with Naomi Campbell, Markus Schenkenberg and Mark Vanderloo in shows in Milan and Paris for Versace, Missoni, Fendi and Claude Montana and has shot with world renowned photographers Bruce Weber, Gary Gross, Bruno Juminer, Peggy Sirota, Mike Penn and Friedman Haus – most notably, the Christian Dior campaign alongside former supermodel Berry Smither.
In 2005 Robin put his extensive experience to good use by starting his own agency in Cape Town. Twenty Model Management was inspired by the need to offer a more transparent and ‘open-door’ policy to his contemporaries. The agency now represents models both locally and internationally and works with a number of global partner agencies to support and nurture models careers internationally. Our high fashion clients include Gucci, Burberry, Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, Balmain and Vogue amongst others, and we’ve provided talent for high-end commercials for Mercedes, Sprite, Heineken, Samsung, Apple and The One & Only to name a few.
Our models regularly appear in London, Paris and Milan shows and have high ranking status on models.com. Twenty Model Management is among Cape Town’s top ranked model agencies and is considered a premier destination for high end brands and for models looking to develop their career internationally.
