NEW YORK, Sept. 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Federico Pignatelli della Leonessa, President and CEO of PIER59 STUDIOS, welcomes back ELITE Model Mgmt to his Studios.
"Almost a year ago in my efforts to bring attention to a multitude of issues in reforming the modeling industry and in accepting stronger regulations in preserving and furthering the rights and wellbeing of models, I had blacklisted a number of agencies, among them ELITE, from working in my studios," states Mr. Pignatelli della Leonessa. "Since then I had a multitude of productive and supportive conversations with ownership and the new management team, CEO Dejan Markovic and CFO Sergio Leccese, two extremely well respected veterans of the Modeling Industry."
"I have full trust that they will do a wonderful job in managing ELITE, one of the historical and prestigious names in the business, founded by my personal friend John Casablancas back in 1972. My trust and deep friendship with the new ELITE's Management Team is of the highest level, and I am confident that they will act in the full interest and wellbeing of their models, therefore I enthusiastically welcome them back in working collaboratively at PIER59 STUDIOS," concluded Pignatelli.
