The Zoli Agency was a modeling agency based in New York City, particularly notable in the 1970s and 1980s.[1]
History
[edit | edit source]The agency was established by a Budapest-born Hungarian designer named Zoltan "Zoli" Rendessy in 1971.[2] It was originally more geared towards male models, and was known as one of the elite male modeling agencies in the 1970s.[1][3][4]
The agency has had a considerable number of celebrities on their books, including Jay Johnson,[5] Veruschka (signed 1975),[1] Geena Davis (signed 1979),[6] Andy Warhol (signed in 1981),[7] Louise Robey, Vanity, and Dolph Lundgren (signed 1983), although his modeling for the company was short-lived as he was described as "a bit too tall and muscular for a model's size 40".[8]
In 1981, the documentary filmmaker Frederick Wiseman released the film Model, which was filmed in part at the Zoli Agency. It was screened on PBS.[9]
In 1989, the modeling agency expanded to Miami Beach for the launch of Zoli South.[10]
