Managing Partner Michael Wildes is proud to announce the approval of the petition filed on behalf of ANTI Management to secure O-1 classification for international fashion model Natalia Beber.
Ms. Beber has appeared on magazine covers and in editorials for prominent publications such as Cosmo for Latinas, Tantalum Magazine, Ocean Drive Magazine, Elegant Magazine and Claudia Magazine. In addition to her editorial work, Ms. Beber has gained massive exposure from her appearances for major brands Carbon 38, Covergirl, Dr. Brandt, Hering, Marisa and Olay, among others.
Established in 2017, ANTI management approaches the modeling business with a creative mindset. It is not only a new agency but a new way of managing, in which our clients are first and foremost, are models. The time is right for an agency to emerge that embraces the freedom of opportunity that a constantly evolving industry provides. New York is ready for an agency that dares to champion diversity, integrity and the steadfast ideals which generate hype, but that also faithfully maintain the foresight and mindful stewardship to manage the long-term success of its brand and models. Comprised of top-tier industry professionals, ANTI Management tailors the work to fit the models’ dreams, desires, and skillsets; not the other way around. Instead of being confined within a stifling industry template, ANTI Management trusts in their expert team to make the important decisions that can only be made by those with years of industry experience.
