The agency “East Models” was established in 1997 under the Producer Centre “Kyrghyzfilm”.

Karina Akmatalieva, a former model and show producer is the permanent director of the agency and “Blife” magazine publisher.

Until now “East Models” is the only professional agency working in Kyrghyzstan.

Besides modeling “East Models” successfully acts as Event and Promotion center organizing and taking part in Beauty Contests, Fashion Festivals, Days and Weeks of Fashion.

Since 1999 fashion models of the agency work in Paris, New-York, Los Angeles, Hong Kong, Moscow and cooperate with such world leading agencies as: “Ford”, “Metropolitan” and others. The “East Models” mannequins were awarded diplomas and prizes at international and local beauty contests. Establishment of lustrous magazine “Blife” devoted to life of Bishkek city became quite logical continuation of activity of the Producer Centre.

“East Models” is the only agency in Kyrghyzstan which is able to represent fashion models of three categories:

adults - of age up to 30 years

permanently working stuff - up to 25 years,

and new faces –up to 20 years old.

The agency has its own school, where with the help of professional teachers future models study plastic arts, choreography, art of acting, basics of etiquette and make-up, they are trained to work on podium, to be filmed by camera and video. “East Models” is not only a school for fashion models, it could be also called a jumping-off place into the world of cinema and television. Many of those who have finished the school for fashion models are working now as actors, singers, presenters on radio and television in Kyrghyzstan and Kazakhstan.

The agency has passed the time test and proved its justifiability. As usual, today the agency “East Models” works independently of any circumstances so it has the right to call itself an old-timer. It has never changed neither its style, nor its working method. We are proud of that as well as of our good reputation.

In 2012 “East Models” will become 15 years old!

We congratulate with the jubilee those who have finished our school, our fashion models, our business partners and all who have been working with us!

Our best wishes to all of you.

Karina Akmatalieva, the director of the agency “East Models”.
