NEW YORK, June 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- There's no such thing as a summer vacation at Wilhelmina International, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: WHLM) as the agency's talent continues to work with top clients and garner success worldwide. The Women's, Artists and Sports divisions have been a hot bed of activity all across the board.

The Women's division continues to be buzz with activity as its many beautiful faces work their way across the globe.

The eye-catching images, photographed by fashion photographer Tony Kelly, are stunning, innovative and full of energy.

Wilhelmina has not one, but two gorgeous beauties gracing various international covers of Vogue this summer.  Thomas Schenk's striking images of top model Marike Laroux, will run on the cover of Turkish Vogue while the beautiful Keke Lindgard, graces the July cover of German Vogue shot by Claudia Knoepfel & Stefan Indlekofer.  Keke will also be seen in an upcoming Victoria's Secret Pink catalogue and a fashion spread slated to run in the November issue of Allure magazine.  The eight page feature was shot by famed fashion and celebrity photographer, Greg Kadel, who has worked with an array of Hollywood A-listers including Woody Harrelson, Kate Bosworth, Megan Fox, Sean Legend and Wilhelmina's own, Theodora Richards.

As a new addition to Wilhelmina's roster, Lydia Hearst has become a power player in the women's division.
