Trump Model Management, later shortened to T Management, was a
New York City-based
modeling agency founded by
Donald Trump as T Models in 1999. It was closed by Trump in April 2017, shortly after he became U.S. president.[1][2]
History
In October 2014, Trump Model Management was sued by model Alexia Palmer. Palmer alleged that 80% of her wages were taken away from her as "expenses" and that she had been paid less than $4000 over a two-year period. The lawsuit was dismissed in March 2016.[3]
In July 2015, it was reported that Trump Model Management and Trump Management Group LLC combined had requested US visas for almost 250 international fashion models.[4]
In August 2016, former Trump models alleged that they had worked for the agency without the company having obtained proper
work visas on their behalf.[5][6][7]
