VOGUE ESQUIRE MODELS

Vogue Models of Chicago was founded in 1958 by Kansas City native Carlton Hamilton.  After obtaining a BA from Knoxville College, and Masters from Chicago State University, highly awarded educator, and keen business man became inspired to begin a touring African-American modeling troupe.

 

With humble beginnings, the Vogue Models of Chicago tour has traveled across the nation, from coast to coast, debuting in dozens upon dozens of cities, both large and small.  Hamilton's tour is the longest running tour in the country, and the only surviving African-American owned touring runway show of major caliber, to date. 

Celebrating its' 57th annual tour, a new group of fresh faced, ambitious beauties are introduced, and groomed to take the industry by storm.
