George Gallier born in Paris France, is a pioneer of the modeling management industry, created what has become today personal management for actors, models and athletes. George Gallier started Prestige Model management in Paris France in 1980, discovered and managed models such as Laurence Treil, Estelle Lefebure, Estella Warren, Vanessa Duve, Connie Nielsen, and many more. Several of these models careers were launched by the magazine Jill an avant-garde French fashion magazine partly owned by George Gallier in the early 80 in Paris, with such photographers as Peter Lindbergh, Hans Fuerer, Patick Demarchelier, Peter Beard and many more, fashion styling was covered by Babette Djian the co-founder of Numero magazine. George Gallier moved to New York City in 1982 to start American Model Management a NY City boutique modeling agency. Modeling agencies were large mega interconnected and disconnected networks spanning across the globe, the concept of American Model Management was to be involved in all aspects of the models careers, instead of just merely following them. The success was immediate and global, starting a trend that is on today, where all large modeling agencies have offset small boutique agencies to launch and manage careers of actors, models and athletes .​​​​​​​​​​.
