Irene Marie, Prisident - Irene Marie Models
Irene Marie Models is the first full-service modeling and talent agency in Miami Beach, Florida. Irene Marie Models was founded in 1983 in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida by former international fashion model and fashion columnist Irene Marie. In 1989, Irene realized Miami Beach’s potential as a fashion production super power (unpopulated beaches, vibrant colors, unique lighting). She moved her agency to its current location in South Beach to better serve the demand of her European clients who were interested in the area’s dichotomy of Art Deco architecture and South Florida beaches. Irene was one of the first real estate investors in South Beach to purchase and renovate an original ocean front building. She relocated her agency to the former Sunray Apartments (made famous by the chainsaw scene in the movie Scarface) located at 728 Ocean Drive. Driven by the Agency’s forte in developing new and undiscovered talent (such as Niki Taylor, David Fumero, Cindy Taylor and Amber Smith) the Irene Marie Management Group gave birth to and later invigorated the once nonexistent modeling scene in Florida. The City of Miami Beach credits Irene with reshaping the image of South Beach from its previous dark and dangerous Miami Vice image, to its current chic and fashion forward identity. In 2006 Irene Marie along with MTV launched 8th & Ocean, a television series chronicling the lives of models and staff at the Irene Marie Modeling agency. The exposure garnered by the television series allowed fans across the globe to rediscover the beauty of South Beach.
