Well, not exactly. But Simon Fuller, the mega branding mastermind who brought us the Spice Girls, American Idol, and Little Britain, among countless other projects and stars has just bought a 51% stake in London’s Storm Models.
The agency which represents Kate Moss, Jourdan Dunn, Lily Cole, Carla Bruni, and Cate Blanchett has been run by the brother/sister team of Sarah Doukas and Simon Chambers since it started in 1987.
Fuller tells Vogue UK: “With 19 moving more into the world of fashion and style, the opportunity to join forces with Storm and its incredible heritage and dynamic approach to the future, was irresistible. Together we can push the boundaries, blur the lines and redefine what a model agency should be in this fast moving world where fashion is playing an increasingly important role in setting and reflecting culture and tastes.”
As far as fashion goes, his backing of Roland Mouret seems to have worked out pretty well. We can only wonder what sorts of changes he has in store for the agency and its girls.

Check out the clip if you want to see some majors from the 90’s do what they do best - walk the runway. There’s no talking in this one, so don’t bother with sound - it’s just smiles and trivia.
It begins icy blonde with Nadja, Karen Mulder and Elle, then come Naomi, Christy, Helena Carla Bruni, and then it finishes with Eva Herzigova doing an impersonation of Marilyn Monroe.
We don’t know if we just described the video, or some kind of culinary dish, but here goes…
That rumor we spread about Mark Fast doing a line for Topshop? It's true. And it's in last week's Sunday Telegraph magazine which means it was true before we even said anything and we've had it in our lap since... Read More
Meet Blue Logan, if you haven't already. A couple of years ago a friend dragged the soft-spoken Brit to a show at London Fashion Week, Aquascutum he thinks, and he started to draw the models as they walked down the... Read More
