"For over ten years, Front Management has remained resilient in an industry where many agencies do not thrive. Through their commitment to the development and success of their beauties, they have built a legacy that will stand the test of time. Not only are they capable of transforming the freshest faces into trailblazing super talents, they are able to transcend Miami’s commercial market.

Front’s talents are regularly in front of the lenses of the most recognised photographers in the industry and have graced the covers of major high fashion magazines, advertising campaigns and runways worldwide.

To introduce some of their new faces and show love to their vets, they created a 90s inspired shoot, paying homage to 90s fashion, style, and beauty. The project was produced by Augie Lasseter, Front’s co-owner. Photographed by Kristy Horst. Styled by Lina Rodriguez. Hair and Make-up by Evelyn Montes and Gina Simone. Art direction by Victor Peralta. The production took place at One Kreate studio in Hollywood, FL. The finalised photos are breathtakingly gorgeous and speak to the repute of Front Management."
