A modeling agency owned by women proves that true beauty doesn’t fade — it deepens, evolves, and finally takes center stage.
IconicFocus Models is rewriting the narrative of an industry long defined by youth — proving that beauty doesn’t fade, it evolves. For this issue, we turned to an agency that celebrates women not just for how they look, but for who they are. Anchoring that truth on our cover and inside fashion pages are three extraordinary women: Veronica Webb, Alva Chinn, and Anedra Shockley Elesser.
At the heart of this agency-slash-movement are co-owners Lori Modugno, Patty Sicular, and Jill Cohen Perlman — three women whose combined experience and instinct have shaped one of the most compelling stories in fashion today. Together, they bring decades of industry knowledge, deep relationships, and an unwavering belief in the power of representation. Their partnership is as dynamic as it is hands-on — from bookings and operations to creative direction and talent development, each plays a critical role.
