IMG Models is a company that signs top models like Ashley Graham, Gigi Hadid, and Ciara. The announcement of Emhoff’s network with them was announced after the inauguration day where she had appeared in a Miu Miu coat.

Unique in her style, Ella is more artistic and eccentric. She doesn’t carry the quintessential air of a model around her. Her round glasses and curls only add to her personality. Talking about this, the President of IMG models said that these days brands don’t look for shape, sizes, or any other conventional standards of beauty. Instead, they look for authenticity.
