In the heart of the global fashion ecosystem, New York City, where so easily the glossy pages and runway lights can often eclipse the talent on and in them, Muse Model Management stands as a counterpoint. A house of representation built on integrity, individuality, and most importantly - a long-term vision.

Founded in 2007 by Conor Kennedy Ryan, Muse was conceived as a rebellion against the increasingly corporate nature of the modeling world. Its guiding principle has always been simple yet radical, to nurture talent personally while amplifying it globally.

Over the past eighteen years, Muse has evolved from an independent start-up into a powerhouse of influence while maintaining the intimacy of a boutique. Every model’s career is approached with strategy and care, editorially, commercially, and creatively. Consistently ensuring that their signed talents trajectory aligns not just with market demand, but with personal authenticity and artistic growth - earning international acclaim for its commitment to diverse beauty, representing leading talent across high fashion, curve, and men’s divisions. Its roster reflects a deep understanding of how beauty, and power, are being redefined across global culture.

Muse’s influence can be traced through the global rise of the many models that have emerged (or been reinvented) on Muse’s roster, which has long reflected the modern face of fashion, appearing in campaigns for Balenciaga, Calvin Klein, Gucci, Dior, Prada and Miu Miu, and every other top client within the fashion and advertising industries. While each models signing story to success differs, the common thread is simple, Muse’s commitment to creative development and the agencies dedication towards that long-term vision is what turns raw potential into a sustained, global presence.

In 2023, Muse extended its vision with the launch of Muse Creative, a division representing top photographers, stylists, and beauty artists. This expansion transformed the agency into a multi-disciplinary creative hub, capable of shaping visual narratives from every angle. In doing so, Muse positioned itself not just as a talent management firm, but as a curator or culture.

From its headquarters in New York City, Muse Model Management continues to redefine what a modern management agency can be - independent yet globally connected, personal yet forward-thinking.

In an era of automation and algorithms, Muse remains devoted to human connection and cultural impact. Believing representation is not a transaction but a creative partnership, the shared journey between talent and the team that supports their narrative.

Eighteen years on, that mission feels more vital than ever as Muse Model Management continues to prove that true influence isn’t built by scale, it’s built by vision.
