Mary DePetris founder of Charm Model management was born in<br />
Brooklyn, New York where she got an early start in the modeling<br />
world when a fashion designer & family friend put Mary in her<br />
fashion shows around the age of 5 which ignited the love of the<br />
business.<br />
In her teens she attended Barbizon modeling school<br />
which were popular in the 1970ʼs. Mary taught part-time after<br />
graduation. While raising a family she would take her daughters<br />
on auditions when the opportunity to work on the other side of<br />
the business as an agent came along. She worked for Classic<br />
Model & Talent which was a large commercial agency in NJ & NY<br />
at the time.<br />
In early 2011 Charm Model Management became a<br />
reality. Mary heads Charm Models with a down to earth approach.<br />
She believes you must have innate sense along with honesty,<br />
dedication and strong work ethic to compete in this market.<br />
Charm Models represent fashion and commercial<br />
models for runway, showroom, trade shows, print, television<br />
and high-end events. Mary is currently involved on a project for<br />
television which she cannot divulge on, but stay tuned.<br />
