OUR STORY

A storybook history and a decades-long evolution that paved the way for Barbizon Agency.Our roots date back to 1939—an era when modeling first emerged as a premier pipeline to stardom.Founded by Helen Fraser on Fifth Avenue in NYC, Barbizon originated as a fashion modeling school and placement service.Drawing inspiration from the ambitious young women flocking to New York City, the Barbizon School of Modeling quickly became synonymous with the glamour of the famous Barbizon Hotel.


1970 - THE SLOGAN

By the 1970s, the Barbizon School of Modeling had grown into a national franchise and a household name. This era introduced a slogan that captured the hearts and dreams of women everywhere:
"Be a Model. Or ... just look like one."©


THE RISE OF BARBIZON AGENCY

In 2008, a new vision began to emerge at our New York flagship school. By 2016, that vision became a reality with the official launch of the Barbizon Agency—the first and only Barbizon model and talent agency licensed by the State of New York, and headquartered in the iconic, landmark Paramount Building in Times Square.


TODAY

Today, Barbizon remains deeply rooted in our rich history, proudly serving the entertainment industry through two distinct, independently owned and operated entities:
the Barbizon School and the Barbizon Agency.


OUR OPERATIONAL STRUCTURE

By maintaining a strict operational division between Barbizon School and Barbizon Agency, we uphold the highest ethical standards of the industry—ensuring students receive exceptional education while agency models and talent receive transparent, licensed representation.• The Barbizon School: A dedicated educational institution focused on personal development, confidence, and professional skill-building. School enrollment is an investment in education and does not include or guarantee agency representation, auditions, or placement.• The Barbizon Agency: A distinct, licensed talent agency representing professional models and talent in the fashion and performing arts industries.



BRAND SUPPORT

Through our representation of creative individuals, we are expanding our model and talent services to include photographers, makeup artists, stylists, casting rooms, rehearsal space, and more.
