Natalia Bryant signed with IMG models.
The agency will represent the 18-year-old Los Angeles native – the daughter of Vanessa Bryant and the late Kobe Bryant – in beauty and fashion.
“I have always been interested in fashion since I was very young,” said Natalia Bryant in an exclusive statement. “I have a love for the industry and, as long as I can remember, I always wanted to be a model. There is a lot to learn, but I feel that this is a great opportunity to learn and express myself creatively. “
IMG Models will focus on building Bryant’s profile through editorial and brand endorsements, the agency noted.
“Natalia has a bright future ahead of us, and we have been surprised by her beauty, talent and motivation since our first meeting,” said IMG Models senior vice president, Maja Chiesi. “We are honored to partner with Natalia in shaping her career in fashion and beauty, and we look forward to connecting her with new and exciting opportunities that showcase her multifaceted personality and look.”
Bryant, who accessed Instagram to share messages in honor of his late sister, Gianna, and his father, the NBA and LA Lakers legend – whose sudden deaths last year rocked the world – celebrated his 18th birthday on January 19.
“Thank you all for all your birthday wishes !!! Also, thanks for always making my birthday so special, @vanessabryant ”, she posted on the app for her 2.3 million followers.
