Rebel Management is a fresh new company ready to hit the market with its fine portfolio of models suitable for all types of production, anywhere in the world.

Operating as a boutique agency Rebel focuses on a personal approach to model management. With an experienced and motivated staff the agency provides its models with the one-on-one attention they deserve, resulting in clients receiving an end product that far exceeds expectations.

As well as model management Rebel represents some of the finest photographers, stylists and hairdressers in Argentina. Rebel also acts as a broker for some of Latin America's most important clients, bringing the world's top models to productions throughout South America.
