>> Simon Fuller Now Shopping for a New York Modeling Agency? —Simon Fuller has continously been creeping into the fashion industry since he began backing Roland Mouret in 2006. Since, he has worked with Victoria Beckham to launch her industry-acclaimed eponymous collection, partnered with Claudia Schiffer to represent her name, image, and brand rights, and just a couple of months ago he took a majority stake in London's Storm agency, home to the likes of Kate Moss and Jourdan Dunn.  Now, word is going around that Fuller is "scanning the New York [modeling agency] market for 'opportunities'" — a New York counterpart to his latest London acquisition?  As The Imagist points out, "that would represent a whole new ideal of management that could pose huge challenges for some established players in the trade."
