I met Francois through Model Mayhem, actually he found me, and i was very flattered because he wanted to work with me right away, i was fine with it because he seemed like a professional and when i looked him up online i didn't see any scam reports or complaints untill now so i figured that i was safe... anyway the first day i met him in person was at his apartment in Queens first off he doesn't even want to see anyone who isn't going to pay him.. he kept pressuring me to pay him upfront and he told me that i had to strip naked in order for him to take my measurements.. when i told him that i was a bit uncomfortable his personality changed like Dr. Jekyl and Mr.Hyde!!!!! he got angry and annoyed and said that if i wanted to be a model that i shouldn't be uncomfortable in situatioms like these... i actually believed him (wow i feel so stupid now)
anyway i only did semi nude so he could take my measurements and i was fine.. but on the way to his house he called me and asked to buy him some food!!! i thought to myself( why is he asking me to buy him food when he is supposed to be a well payed celebrity photographer?!?!?!?) i told him that i couldn't and he got angry.. i couldn't understand why.. anyway we did a photoshoot with the MUA that he uses and a couple of other models and he was actually an hour late!!! when we finally did the shoot and the other models would leave to change their clothes... he would wait for us to be alone so he could say all these nasty and sexually explicit things to me.. he would flirt and feel me up whenever he had the chance and even invited me to a celebrity orgi party?!?!? but as soon as we were around other models he would insult me and say that i looked fat!!!!!! it was very unprofessional!! anyway i got my photos in a cd and none of them were edited or touched up so i had to do all of that myself on my computer!! I've been able to book jobs but not because of him.. what a scam, and a very bad experience... |

During fashion week, I, Dana Kim, was given the opportunity to watch some of the most influential designer’s fashion shows. Francois Vision offered to invited me to the shows in return for inside information and pictures of the show. There was no way I was going to say no to that. It was amazing to feel the energy and the vibe of the shows. Not only does it give me the biggest smile on my face but, also the biggest happiness in my heart. Getting to see the final pieces of designers such as Richard Chai, Charlotte Ronson, and many more, was very exciting to see it happen right in front of my eyes. I didn’t simply attend the shows; I was one of the photographers. My job was to capture every moment of fashion week starting off from the main lounge area. The lounge area was filled with flamboyant, glamorous, fun, and interesting people. I got to observe and take pictures of people who looked unique and that grabbed my attention. After taking pictures of the collections of designers’, I quickly went backstage to see the whole process. The images of models in their outfits on a board to the designer’s publicity at the end was truly inspiring. As a fashion design major at Fashion Institute of Design, I am truly obsessed and so passionate about it that the feeling of being able to be apart of fashion week leaves me breathless. Fashion week is always so packed and filled with excitement that it would too good to pass out on. Overall, It was an amazing and a breathtaking experience.

I had the pleasure of staying at the model apartment in Queens, NY provided
through Francois Vision of WeKnowTV. The apartment was safe & secured in a
peaceful retirement like community. I never felt unsafe or uncomfortable on any
of my visits. The apartment was fully furnished & also included bathroom
toiletries, cable TV, wifi & Internet access.
Anything I needed advice on in the industry, Francois provided me with. I can
honestly say I have a better outlook & clearer prospective on the fashion
industry as a model, than what I had prior to meeting Francois. When I met with
Francois in January/February 2011, I was frustrated not knowing how to revamp
myself & career as a model and I explained my frustration to him; Coming from
Maryland, a place of "promising opportunities with slim structural foundation
on how to advance & move forward outside of local work. I told him what my
vision was & how determined & willing I am to progress as a household name in the modeling industry as a Runway/Print Model.
Francois told me straight up what I needed to do & how I should go about it.
He's like a personal tutor, on call whenever you need him. Everything from my
image to helping me with my test shoot, to getting me INSIDE at Fashion Week &
watching numerous shows, I can honestly say Francois has followed through on his
word. I've even been backstage & met with designers, viewing their model
lineups, meeting with people who work behind the scenes with designers being
invited to the after parties . I mean up front access most people never have the
opportunity of being familiar with.
Recently, I signed with Flaunt Models in NYC as well as Wilhelmina of PA.
Francois helped shape me into what the industry looks for in black models. I
never had anyone other than one other person, to spend the time into molding me
into industry expectations. He would tell me what size I needed to be, what
look to go for, how to carry myself when meeting with them. Sure you learn this
through modeling school & the web but, very rare do you meet someone who is kind
& generous enough to hold your hand & say, "I will help you, don't worry... You
will make it". He's never crossed the line and touch me in an inappropriate manner or made me feel uncomfortable around him. I have new test shoot images I'm able to use because of him,
references, Fashion Week access, new agency representation, and a friend I can
call.
