Noelle Mannequin & Expertise Group to stroll runway throughout New York Style Week

THANKS FOR STAYING WITH US. THE NOBEL MODEL AND TALENT GROUP IS A TALENT AGENCY SPECIFICALLY SERVING CHILDREN IN THE TRIAD. THEY HAVE ONLY BEEN OPERATING FOR A FEW MONTHS BUT HAVE MADE A HUGE IMPACT. SEVERAL OF THEIR PARTICIPANTS WILL EVEN BE WALKING THE STAGE DURING NEW YORK FASHION WEEK. IT’S SO IMPRESSIVE. AND JOINING US NOW IS CHRISTINA RORY. SHE IS THE AGENCY DIRECTOR FOR NOELLE MODEL AND TALENT GROUP. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US. IT’S A PLEASURE TO HAVE YOU ON. THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME. I REALLY APPRECIATE IT. ABSOLUTELY. WE HAVE TO START WITH THE WHY BEHIND OPENING A MODEL AND TALENT AGENCY. CLEARLY, YOU SAW SOMETHING HERE IN THE TRIAD WITH THE CHILDREN HERE, THE TALENT THAT THEY HAD TO MAKE. YOU WANT TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS IN THE COMMUNITY. YES. SO I HAVE MY OWN LITTLE MODEL. HER NAME IS BLAIR, AND SHE SPEAKS. AND BLAIR STARTED MODELING WHEN SHE WAS TWO. AND SO OVER THE YEARS, I WAS GOING TO BE FOR FASHION SHOWS AND DOING DIFFERENT THINGS LOCALLY AS BEING THE NEED FOR PEACE, JUST WANTING TO MODEL ONE AND TWO AND WANTING TO DO THINGS IN THE INDUSTRY. AND I ALWAYS HAD PARENTS ACTUALLY LIKE, HOW DID YOU GET STARTED IN THINGS LIKE THAT? AND SO I STARTED I PUT IT OUT FOR A FEW YEARS AND I SAID, YOU KNOW WHAT? I’M A GO FOR IT. WE’RE GOING TO DO THIS. SO WE CREATED NO REAL MODEL. IT’S NOW A GROUP AND WE’VE BEEN OPEN SINCE OCTOBER. WE HAD OUR GRAND OPENING AT TOBAR FIRST OF 2022. SO NOT THAT LONG AGO. BUT WE’VE BEEN DOING A LOT OF THINGS IN THESE AND THESE LITTLE FEW MONTHS AND IN THESE LITTLE FEW MONTHS YOU ALREADY HAVE A FEW PARTICIPANTS THAT ARE HEADING TO NEW YORK SOON. IS THAT RIGHT? YES. SO WE HAVE SEVEN MODELS THAT WILL BE TRAVELING TO NEW YORK NEXT WEEK. WE’LL BE GOING THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY, AND THEY WILL BE WALKING INTO NEW YORK FASHION WEEK SHOWS AT THE PRESTIGIOUS GOTHAM HALL. WOW. OH, WOW. ARE YOU ABLE TO SHARE A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT EVEN THE BRANDS OR THE DESIGNERS BEHIND THIS SHOW THAT THEY’RE GOING TO BE PARTICIPATING IN? YES. SO THE TWO DESIGNERS THAT OUR KIDS ARE SPECIFICALLY WALKING FOR IS NEEDLE BELL’S CLOSET, AND SHE’S AT A WOMEN’S IN NORTH CAROLINA. AND THEN SONIA KANTOR AND SHE ACTUALLY OUT OF INDIA. OH, WOW. INTERNATIONAL. SO IT’S AMAZING TO SEE NORTH CAROLINA I GUESS BETWEEN THE FIRST IS THAT ARE BEING FROM WILMINGTON PUT ON THE BIG STAGE LIKE THAT IN NEW YORK AS WELL. SO I MEAN YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO REPRESENT WELL I’M SURE. YES, WE ARE SO EXCITED AND FOR US TO JUST BE STARTING THIS TALENT GROUP AND TO HAVE THESE KIDS ABLE TO GO OUTSIDE OF LITTLE POINT IN EACH STAGE, ONE OF THE BIGGEST STAGES IN THE WORLD IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING AND WE ARE SO PROUD OF THEM. FOR ALL OF THE HARD WORK, DID THEY, INCLUDING ME AND TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN? OH, I’M SURE. AND CHRISTIANE, TO SHARE SOME MORE ABOUT THE OTHER SERVICES THAT NOELLE MODEL AND TALENT GROUP OFFERS TO THE YOUNG ONES OUT THERE. OKAY. YEAH, SURE. SO NOT ONLY DO WE DO MODELING AS FAR AS WALKING IN POSING, WE DO FACIAL EXPRESSIONS, THINGS LIKE DAYS. WILL WE ALSO TEACH THE KIDS AT TRAINING? SO LIKE MY DAUGHTER, SHE’S BEEN IN A FEW AS FAMILY DOLLAR BUILT AND SHE’S ABOUT TO BE IN A H&M AND SOON AS WELL. SO JUST KNOWING HOW TO POSE WORK TO DO AND SEE WHAT’S AND NOT DO IT, THINGS LIKE THAT, WE TEACH THEM THOSE THINGS. WE ALSO HAVE THESE IN CLASSES FOR OUR PARENTS SO THAT THEY CAN KNOW WHAT TO DO, WHAT NOT TO DO, BECAUSE THE KIDS CAN’T DO IT ALONE. THEY HAVE TO HAVE THE PARENTS OR THE GUARDIANS. IN A LOT OF THE TIMES, THE PARENTS KNOW THAT THEIR CHILD HAVE THIS IN THEM, BUT THEY DON’T KNOW HOW TO OPERATE THE INDUSTRY. SO WE HELP OUR PARENTS AS WELL. AND WE ALSO HAVE ACTING CLASSES THAT WE HOUSE EVERY WEEK IN THESE ACTING CLASSES, PREPARE THEM FOR BROADWAY PRODUCTIONS AND LOCAL THEATER THINGS. AND WE’RE OUT HERE AS WELL. WE ALSO HAVE INTERVIEW CLASSES IN THE INTERVIEW CLASSES, THEY TEACH OUR KIDS HOW TO PROPERLY INTERVIEW WHO IS SOMEONE, WHAT DO YOU DO? WHAT’S YOUR NAME? YOU KNOW, SO THEY’RE NOT SHY AND THEY’RE COMFORTABLE IN THEIR SKIN TO BE ABLE TO TALK IN A CONFIDENT MANNER. WE ALSO DO PAGEANTRY AS WELL. SO IF YOU HAVE A CHILD IS INTERESTED IN DOING PAGEANTS OR THEY NEED SOME PAGEANT TRAINING, WE HAVE COACHES AS WELL FOR THAT. ABSOLUTELY. AND CHRISTIANA, QUICKLY, BEFORE WE GO, YOU’VE TOUCHED ON SOMETHING I THINK IS IMPORTANT HERE. THIS ISN’T ALWAYS ABOUT BOOKING THE JOB. IT’S JUST ABOUT MAYBE GETTING YOUR CHILD EXPOSED TO THINGS TO MAKE THEM A MORE CONFIDENT VERSION OF THEMSELVES AS WELL. I LIKE THAT. YES. AND THAT’S REALLY OUR VISION. IT’S NOT ABOUT THE MONEY. IT’S NOT ABOUT, OH, WHAT YOU MIGHT DO IS REALLY ABOUT WE WANT TO BUILD CONFIDENCE. WE’VE SEEN THESE KIDS TRANSFORM IN JUST A FEW MONTHS. KIDS THAT WOULDN’T LIFT THEIR HEAD UP COULDN’T WALK BY THEMSELVES, THINGS LIKE THAT. THEY’RE JUST OUT HERE DOING IT ON THEIR OWN. THEY DON’T NEED TO BE MOTIVATED. IT’S CREATING THIS BOOK. IT WASN’T ABOUT MORE SO BOOKING JOBS. IT’S ABOUT PREPARING NOT ONLY THE MOTTOS BUT THE PARENTS SO THAT THEY WILL BE READY TO GOOD JOBS. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME, CHRISTIANA. IT HAS BEEN SO GREAT TO HEAR FROM YOU AND GOOD LUCK NEXT WEEK TO SEND THE KIDS OUR WELL-WISHES FOLLOW ALONG. FOLKS AT HOME ON THE WEBSITE, ON YOUR SCREEN AND M T G DOT ORG TO ALWA
