Launched in 1978 by Joanne Meyers, SMG quickly garnered a reputation for finding and developing many of the modeling industry's top models and talent. Today SMG is still fully owned by the Meyers family and is currently run by Joanne's daughter, Kristy Petersen. Their models have graced the covers of magazines such as Vogue, GQ, Elle, Harper's Bazaar and many others and have been seen in campaigns for top designers such as Dolce and Gabbana, Emporio Armani, Calvin Klein, Polo Ralph Lauren and Versace, just to name a few.
