Fusion Model Management in Cape Town, South Africa was established in 2001 as a boutique agency in the heart of the city’s trendiest suburb: Green Point. Because Fusion is a boutique agency, the company prides itself in fostering strong working relationships with clients and models. In fact, the agency’s director, Fiona Craig, works directly with both the men’s and women’s divisions on a day to day basis.
Though Fusion is relatively small compared to other agencies in the business, the agency’s roster of models is impressive. Fusion represents both local and international, top tier talent, with its most famous models being Kerry and Tracy McGregor, two of South Africa’s most famous celebrity models.
