IMG Models has offices in New York, London, Sydney, Paris, and Milan. IMG Worldwide started as a sports and talent management agency, before successfully branching off into the modeling division. Gisele Bundchen, Kate Moss, Gigi and Bella Hadid, and Rolling Stones lead singer Mick Jagger's daughter Georgia May Jagger are some of the big names that IMG manages.
Of Michael Jackson's three children, Paris-Michael Katherine Jackson was his only daughter. Jackson's children lived in a sheltered, openly hidden world prior to their father's death. Afterward, they were put into the spotlight that their father could no longer voraciously shield them from.
They always say, 'Time heals,' but it really doesn't. You just get used to it. I live life with the mentality of 'OK, I lost the only thing that has ever been important to me.' So going forward, anything bad that happens can't be nearly as bad as what happened before. So I can handle it.Bart and IMG have maintained a more forward thinking approach to their modeling talent. They don't categorize their models by race, age, or weight. They also purport to keep their models healthy, not dangerously underweight and malnourished. IMG has embraced the attention it has gotten by promoting models who don't fit typical modeling industry stereotypes.

"With this new way of thinking, I can tell women who work so hard to get into the sample size, 'Eat! Be yourself, just be the best you can be — exactly how you are!' For us, as long as the talent is at a healthy weight that he or she and his or her doctor believe is right for them, and they're exercising, since that's a healthy way of life, then the industry should reflect that."This attitude has carried IMG to the top, and enabled it to attract top modeling talent and celebrities like Paris Jackson.
