Established in London in 1977, by founders Tandy Anderson and sisters Clare and Chrissie Castagnetti, Select Model Management is a global network of model and talent agencies.

Company

In their early days, Select was one of the first modelling agencies to find models by "scouting" them on the street. They adopted that method of recruitment to quickly establish a client list and reputation. In the 1980s, competitor agencies also used the technique to grow their businesses. For two seasons (in 2005 and 2006), Anderson served as a judge on '' Make Me a Supermodel'' after which the winning competitors received a modelling contract with Select. In 2011, the agency launched a mobile app to be used by prospective models. In 2019, Select Model Management announced a global expansion through an integration with MP Management. Select has offices in 8 countries across the world; London, Milano, Paris, Stockholm, Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles and Miami. Select Model Management is part of the Silva International Investments portfolio owned by Riccardo Silva.
