London's boutique modeling & talent agency since 2016
AO Agency was founded in 2016 by Kathryn Clark as a boutique modeling agency. From London Fashion Week to the pages of British Vogue, we built our reputation on trust, discretion, and personal advocacy for every model on our books.
We do not operate on volume. We operate on conviction. Our industry relationships — from London Fashion Week to the world's leading fashion houses — ensure our models are considered for the work that matters.
AO Agency is a member of the Association of Model Agents (AMA). All models are represented exclusively through AO.
Representation is by invitation only.
In October 2025, AO Agency launched its Film & Television department. After nearly a decade of building one of London's most trusted names in modeling, we are bringing the same personal advocacy, industry relationships, and conviction-led approach to the world of film and television.
The trust we have earned from casting directors, photographers, and brands in fashion translates directly to the screen. Our models have always possessed something beyond the lens — presence, range, and the ability to tell a story. Now we are giving that talent a stage.
Led by co-owner Kevin Shultz, the department is currently building its roster. We are actively seeking actors, writers, and directors who share our belief in quality over quantity. If you are interested in representation, please contact us at [email protected].
We are thrilled to announce the launch of AO's Film & Television department, led by co-owner Kevin Shultz. A decade of trust built in the modeling world — with casting directors, brands, and photographers — now extends to the screen. We are currently building our roster and welcome enquiries from actors, writers, and directors.
Cecilia Drummond, Rowena Calder, and Ophelia Lane have been confirmed as the faces of Burberry's Autumn/Winter 2026 campaign — our strongest fashion season to date and a landmark moment for the agency.
Meredith Yates and Harriet Somerville are featured in Harper's Bazaar UK's Spring 2026 editorial — a twelve-page spread shot by Mario Testino celebrating emerging British talent in fashion.
Congratulations to Meredith Yates, Winifred Cole, Leonora Swift, Viola Rutherford, and Katya Novak who walked in five LFW SS26 shows including Erdem, JW Anderson, and Simone Rocha.
We are delighted to welcome Genevieve Parr, Katya Novak, and Millicent Wray to the AO roster — all scouted from open calls and new-face competitions across the UK.
Since our founding in 2016, AO Agency has believed that beauty and talent exist in every community. We are committed to ensuring that the fashion, advertising, and entertainment industries reflect the full breadth of British life. Through our new-face scouting programme in underrepresented communities and our partnerships with diversity initiatives across the industry, we work to dismantle the barriers that have historically excluded brilliant talent. Inclusion is not an initiative at AO — it is the foundation upon which Kathryn Clark built this agency, and it remains central to every decision we make.
We are proud to announce AO Agency's membership of the Association of Model Agents (AMA), the UK's leading professional body for model agencies. AMA membership reflects our commitment to the highest ethical and professional standards in the industry.
