It is always a big deal when Trudi calls your agent to bring you in for polaroids. Things are probably going very well for you in terms of a modeling career when that phone call comes. This is the woman who advised Anna Wintour as the new faces editor at Vogue, which means Trudi knows better than your mom if you’ll make it in the business or not. And, if you do have a chance, she’s the person that understands exactly what it will take to shape you into the next Giselle or Karolina Kurkova, who she managed during her time at DNA model management.
Trudi was one of the people in fashion that believed in my talent. She first introduced me to Anna and later represented me at DNA. What a relief if was to walk into my new agency and see Trudi sitting there. I knew I’d be in good hands with her on my side. I’m forever grateful for the guidance and support Trudi has given me over the years.
If you’re wondering if you’ve got what it takes or you want to hear more from Trudi herself, you’ve got a few options to connect with her.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ONE OF FASHION’S BEST!
Yesterday I interviewed fashion legend Trudi Tapscott. And here’s why she’s a legend… this woman discovered and developed many of the faces you’ve come to recognize in the pages of Vogue and blue chip advertising. Yep. She develops Supermodels before the world or even fashion knows they exist. You’ve heard of Giselle and Karolina Kurkova. She knows the business inside and out. Here’s the thing, if the midas touch was actually a thing, this woman has it. Every talent she touches turns to gold.
I first met Trudi walking into Vogue’s offices. I was meant to meet directly with Anna but when I showed up the office told me to go to Trudi’s office first.
