"My name is Paul Fisher and as the owner of It Models I had the pleasure of working with Suzie Sugarman for over five years. It Models represented some of the most famous models in the world, Carre Otis, Naomi Campbell, Stephanie Seymour, Eva Horizigova, Kimora lee Simmons, Brooke Burke, Carla Bruni and many other top talent. Suzie was my head booker, she was the one who generated the most amount of bookings and revenue for the models. Suzie was simply the BEST model booker that It Models ever had. Suzie is the best booker I have ever seen... If I was a model I would want Suzie Sugarman working for me... Her knowledge of the modeling industry, contacts with the top clients, years of experience, honesty and work ethic makes Suzie a force in the model industry. One of the best bookers of all time! The best!!! She is truly special."

My name is Omar Albertto & it gives me great pleasure writing this testimonial for one of the greatest model agents I had the honor to work with. I was co-owner of It Models/Omar's Men Model Management in Los Angeles,New York & Miami.

Since the very beginning of her employment Paul Fisher & I saw something special in her desire to not be mediocre & become the best.(She preached to herself "I am the Best") The most remarkable aspect of her skills was her honesty with her skills. She knew she didn't want to be just a fabulous agent booking editorials & being trendy. She wanted & became the best catalogue agent I ever saw in my career,,,Suzie Sugerman made models wealthy,She developed such a strong bond with the most powerful department stores & Catalogue houses in NYC,Miami,Los Angeles etc & became our #1 source of billings. The models LOVED her, of course because all she did is made them money. So many of her personal favorites have moved on to lucrative careers in film, music & TV & they all owe it to Suzie Sugerman. I never saw anyone mad at her, she never missed a day of work regardless of health issues or anything. Her passion for the job was beyond anything I've ever experience as an agent & I'm so looking forward to witness the magic of Suzie's future. I still believe she will end up running a movie studio some day with her abilities. I choose to call her SugarWoman.

"I’ve known Suzie Sugerman for 15 years and she is not only a good friend but she was my modeling booker for 18 years.  Suzie is considered the best at what she does and I’m honored to have worked with her during the height of my modeling career while living in New York city. Following  my work in New York I was able to transition from modeling to acting and was soon starring in the FOX series Fashion House. I owe a lot of my career to Suzie."

" I have known Suzie Sugerman for over 20 years. She was my modeling agent for many years and has connected me with many top fashion clients in the industry. As an agent, she is very determined and exudes the most professional manner which enabled her to establish a strong network of loyal clients. Over the years, Suzie has booked me on numerous high profile campaigns ranging from beauty to fashion and has helped me developed relationships with catalog clients. Suzie is a joy to work with, she brings great energy and enthusiasm to the industry, not to mention, she just gets the job done."

"As a model I came to New York from Romania without any money, but with a lot of hope! I was not just looking for an agent, but warmth and a friend as well. Suzie and I got very close very quickly, and found so many things in common! I love how much I worked and how much money I wound up making, with lingerie, bridal, catalogs and a huge poster in Times Square for Target! We did it together, we were a great team! We call each other"mommy", even though only we really understand what it means. It is because we grew close to each other and will always be friends. First she's my friend, and then second she is the agent, and that's what I was looking for! Hopefully you will learn from her, in her whatever you need, because there are very few special people in the world, who can help guide us in the right direction, and Suzie is one of them!"

"My name is Katja Hilgendorff, I am working as a model for 10 years now, and I know Suzie for about 8 years, she has been my agent and friend. What would I do without her! She is great and helps me through difficult times when I have all those questions running through my head. In a very professional and friendly way, Suzie is not just great at consulting, but helping me to understand some of the subtle differences that I was not aware of in the business. Her personality and ability to understand your needs and how to present them to the industry makes her services invaluable. Suzie has provided me some amazing insight and recommendations that have made a tremendous impact in my professional life. ONLY if you're willing to take the leap and experience great results while working with a fantastic person, Suzie is the one!"

“Suzie Sugerman is one of the best bookers I have come across since the start of my modeling career in 99'. When I met Suzie in August of 2008 she promised and delivered two clients which I am still working for to this day. Suzie is the person to get the job done no matter what it may be. Thanks Suzie, You are the best!!!”

“I have known Suzie Sugerman for over fourteen years. We first met when she was my booker at It Models. I feel compelled to share with you my first booking with Suzie. I walked into the job and the client asked to see my book. I said to him that surely he had seen it before. He told me that he had not and I had been booked only from my card and Suzie's word that I was true to m\y photos and just as good in person. I was blown away, but as I got to know her more it made sense. She was the hardest worker and known as the money maker. She was the one who make things happen, and not only that but the clients trusted her. She was and is a woman of her word. I am grateful to be able to tell you that she is as good a friend as she is an agent.”

"When I (Julie Maria Iversen) modeled in NY, I was with Karin models and Suzie Sugerman was my agent. Within a very short time I had a handful of loyal and great clients and I am confident I could never have done it without Suzie Sugerman. She believed in me when I didn't and had all the faith in my abilities as a model. I came with little confident and she boosted my self esteem in a sincere way that truly made me a better model and have fun with it! She is by far the best agent I have ever had. I now reside in Europe, but I miss Suz not only as an agent, but also as a great and reliable friend! I have all the confidence in her talent as an agent and professional and trust she will do a great job!"

In this time I have found Ms. Sugarman to always be my number 1 go to person for models. She is extremely diligent, efficient, knowledgeable, and available to take care of all problems that might happen during the course of your job. She is completely competent and it has been my pleasure to work with her and to continue working with her in the future."

I learned more in five minutes of speaking with Suzie than in five years of trying to figure out the modeling industry on my own. I feel very fortunate that I was able to connect with her after being introduced through a mutual friend, and her influence and advice has completely changed the course of my career. As a young model, it can be hard to figure out the ins and outs of the business. I spent hours researching the best plan of action and networking with people in order to try to learn more about the business and build skills that would make me more successful, but nothing I found out on my own even came close to the information I learned in one session with Suzie. Her passion for what she does, and her knowledge of the industry became evident to me from our first conversation. She does not sugarcoat things or waste your time, she genuinely loves to help people who are interested in a career in modeling, and her experience is something I feel would be extremely beneficial to every model at any stage in their career. She has helped me to understand much more about how the modeling world works and what I need to do in order to be successful. I cannot say enough good things about Suzie and the value of my relationship with her. She is a person that has the ability to change people’s lives and I hope not only to remain a friend of hers for years to come, but I aspire to emulate her strong and inspiring qualities in my own life.

"Before I met with Suzie I had no idea what to expect. I'd heard nothing but wonderful things about her so I went in with an open mind and a desire to learn. Well my expectations were enormously exceeded! I filled up three whole pages in my notebook of priceless information Suzie has acquired through working in the business for years. Not only that but she gave me incredible advice specific to my situation and gave me an understanding of the steps I need to take to start a career as a model and actress. Not only does she extend her knowledge butshe does so with a warm, friendly and happy disposition that made me feel special. It's clear that she truly cares about her clients and has an enormous passion for what she does. I can't put into words how much I appreciate Suzie's help and I can't wait to work with her in the future!"

–Kait Gardner

"Starting out in the modeling industry at 25 can be daunting and overwhelming.  However, after a short consultation with Suzie I had all the information and the confidence to pursue a new direction in my career. Suzie set me up with the best photographers in the business to get a great book together. After a few short weeks I had a completed book and felt like I had the knowledge of a model thatsbeen working for years. Suzie is well connected and has worked in the business for years, so I wasn't surprised that she was able to set up a meeting for me with the top male modeling agency in the world. If it weren't for Suzie and all the help she has given me I would still be trying to figure everything out, but instead I'm a head of the game. I can't explain how thankful I am for Suzie's help. She genuinely wants to see you succeed, and that kind of support is impossible to find in such a harsh business."

During my stay  in NYC, when I was  attending open casting calls with designers for Fashion Week,  I met with Suzie Sugerman to help my modeling career.  With  many choices available: Commercial, Print, Editorial, and Runway the modeling industry can be daunting.  Suzie reviewed my portfolio, helped with the basics of modeling, and directed me with a clear focus. She has instructed me to have  a strong, well-developed  portfolio. Suzie has targeted the best market for my look. Suzie also assisted me to understand the financial aspects of having a modeling career. 
When meeting with her, it is obvious she is extremely knowledgeable about the modeling industry. Suzie has a passion  for young models starting out. She has inspired me to continue on my path with confidence.  I look forward to meeting with Suzie again in the future. She is delight.
