Next's New Faces Division has an uncanny ability to find that amazing new girl quite early. Without spilling your state secrets, would you care to comment on how you go about finding and developing new faces?
Finding the best talent all comes down to travel and persistence because there isn't one country or city in particular to find future models. We have great relationships with schools and agencies around the world, which help us enormously. Sometimes, we may follow a girl from the time she is 13 until the time we feel she is ready to model and then we develop her through our network.

Recently your agency has been expanding into television and film, does this represent a significant future direction for you?
Yes, television and film is the natural progression and the future for many models. Not all of the girls, but a significant number want to move forward into that arena. We are all very excited to be able to offer this opportunity through our alliance with the leading talent agency, Endeavor. Over the years I have represented so many girls, that have gone on to stardom.

How does the Internet figure into the future of Next.
We are doing some big things in the Internet and you'll be the first to know.
