Fresh Models Launches in Lagos to Discover and Develop Nigeria’s Next Generation of Global Talent
A new force in African fashion has emerged with the launch of Fresh Models, a Lagos-based modeling agency and training academy founded by international model and creative entrepreneur Francis Polo, also known as Fresh Pepper.
Positioned at the intersection of talent development and global opportunity, Fresh Models aims to redefine industry standards in Nigeria by building a pipeline of world-class models equipped for both local and international markets.
“Fresh Models was created to bridge the gap between raw talent in Nigeria and the structure required to compete globally,” said Polo. “We’re not just signing models—we’re developing them with intention, discipline, and a clear understanding of the industry.”
Operating out of Lagos, the agency combines representation with hands-on training through its academy, offering aspiring models access to professional development in runway, posing, and industry knowledge—an approach still relatively rare within the Nigerian modeling landscape.
The agency has already begun building a roster of promising new faces, including Damilola Odebiyi, Emmanuel Johnson, and Emerald Godwin, three emerging talents being positioned for both domestic campaigns and international placements.
With Lagos continuing to gain recognition as a rising fashion capital, Fresh Models enters the market with a clear mission: to elevate Nigerian talent onto the global stage while maintaining a strong foundation at home.
Fresh Models is now accepting new talent through its weekly open calls, held every Friday and Saturday in Lagos.
