Let's Get To Know Ayana Gordon:
Let's have a talk about fashion and the modeling industry with the CEO of ANG Model Management. Here's the detail from an interview with Ayana Gordon.
CEO: Ayana Gordon
Ayana, Ang Model Management is a Bay Area model agency founded in 2018. What inspired you to create ANG Model Management?
I always knew I wanted to be an entrepreneur within the fashionindustry but I never knew what exactly I wanted to do. While I was inmy 2nd year at FIDM as a product development student, I had anoutside friend who desired to get into modeling, but she felt she didn'tknow where or how to start. At that moment, it came over me to beginmodel management. It came so naturally to me, and I loved being ableto help someone step out and achieve their goals as a model. Thisopportunity allowed me to explore the fashion industry on awhole new spectrum, and I have LOVED IT ever since.
Fashion Model
To advance your career in the fashion industry, you selected to attend the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising (FIDM).
Ayana, did you know you would aspire to manage a modeling company while attending the institute, or did you have a general interest in fashion that influenced you to become the CEO of Ang Model Management? Tell us a little about that.
When I began FIDM in 2016, I attended under the major ofProduct Development. I chose product development because Iknew I wanted to be in fashion and one day create a clothingbrand, but I also was very interested in the business side.
As Icontinued with my major, I knew and felt that productdevelopment was not my ultimate goal or dream, as I wanted to become an entrepreneur.
I believe at the end of my first year going into my second year of FIDM as a P.D. student, I had a friend who wanted to get into modeling and I decided I wanted to help her the best way I could as her manager.
A couple of friends from school also supported me and helped out with my first photoshoot to begin my friend's modeling portfolio. From there, ANG Model Management was created, and I officially launched on January 27th, 2018. However, I did stillgraduate with my Product development degree in 2018 andcontinued on to receive my bachelor's degree in BusinessManagement, and I graduated this past March.

Fashion styles seem to change over time. Is there a specific style that intrigues you and why? Also, what do you consider the most important aspect of the fashion industry?
I love all fashion in general, but if I had to specifically pick a style, Iwould choose modern contemporary.
Contemporary intrigues mebecause I love how you can play around with it to make it eitherclassy and sophisticated or urban chic.
I like and save pictures all dayon Instagram that give me an inspiring look I can recreate.
The mostimportant aspect of the fashion industry is diversity. I believe diversity is the biggest thing right now within the fashion industry because the industry has to begin to represent every shade and size within fashion.
That's the only way to have brand awareness and relate with all customers and consumers. When you only see one shade and size within the industry, it closes the gap of being unique, inclusive, and relatable.

Let's talk about Models and Diabetes. What inspired you to host an educational interview segment on the topic of models and diabetes with the stylish model Alexia Balistreri, and the luxury fashion owner of Rich in love fashion, Doris Hobbs?
Fashion Model
I loved working on this project. It was very dear to my heart and thewomen involved. The backstory on the segment was inspired bywhen I found out that my model Alexia had diabetes on a shoot wehad for a client.
I already knew Doris had diabetes, and she was anactivist herself. One day Doris and I were on the phone discussinghow to stay active and involved throughout this pandemic. Imentioned to her that I recently found out about my model's conditionwith diabetes, and I just knew it would be a great idea to bring themboth in on a project.
The project ended up being a Models & Diabetesinformation yet inspiring segment for diabetes awareness. It waswonderful, and I look forward to continuing to spread awareness fornot just Diabetes but other conditions in the future.
If a potential client is interested in contacting you to find out more about Ang Model Management, how do you recommend they contact you?
I am still growing and building my agency, and I love all the support and acknowledgment I can get. At the end of the day, I am working to builda full-service modeling agency to help and encourage allexperienced and non-experienced models to reach their modelinggoals.
My goals are to reach my models' goals and beyond. Potentialclients and models interested in contacting me can alwaysfind me on my Instagram. Thank you!
