GEMS

Our world has never been made up of exclusively one ‘look’, and it is important that all aspects of our world reflect that. The notion of ‘ideal’ is dangerous, so when it comes to inclusive representation- where everyone fits the ideal, we really are on board. GEM agency is just that. Founded in just 2019 by Ami Keita, GEM finds the extraordinary, and when it comes to beauty, the industries ‘imperfections’ play no role. Beauty is within us all, and for us to appreciate our beauty- we must see it within our external ‘fantasy’ world. Without fashion, film, photography (etc.) reflecting the real world around, beauty in all of its forms is forgotten. Check out some of the faces of GEM and the quick finish-the-sentence fun we had with the models themselves…

Modelling to me is…. my submission to art. I had never expected myself to model. Following the past few months, I still have not fully realised what I do by now.
