Elite Model Management (MM) is a modeling agency that originated in Paris in 1972.[1]

In 2004, the agencies in New York City, Miami, Los Angeles, and Toronto separated and formed Elite Model Management North America.[2] Elite MM is a subsidiary of Elite World S.A., whose main shareholder Silvio Scaglia controls his stake through Elite World Group (EWG), a management company where Elite MM is one of brands along with The Society Management, Women Management, Supreme Management, Elite Model Look, and Women 360.[3] Although Elite Model Management North America and Elite World Group share the same logo, they have separate ownership and are not part of a business network.[4]
