Invade Models is the bold new force in South African talent representation. Founded in 2018 by fashion designer and industry powerhouse Shadrack Nkosi, we exist to discover, develop, and unleash raw, authentic African talent onto the global stage.
We don’t chase trends — we create them.
We hand-pick models with that undeniable "X factor" and turn them into blank canvases ready to be painted by the world’s top creatives. With zero fluff and 100% commitment, we operate with a no-nonsense policy: you give everything, we give you everything back.
From the fashion capitals of South Africa to the runways of Milan, Paris, London, and New York — we’ve taken our talents to walk for Prada, Louis Vuitton, Burberry, Dolce & Gabbana, and more, while fronting campaigns for global giants.
Inside Invade means joining a real, authentic family. We’re fresh, we’re hungry, and we’re building legacies — not just careers. If you’re ready to invade the world, we’re ready to take you there.
Welcome to the invasion.

Invade Academy
Invade Academy is designed to build real models — not just teach theory. We train aspiring and developing models (from age 14 and up, with no maximum age limit) in the essential skills required to confidently enter the modeling industry and secure agency representation.
We believe modeling does not require months of classroom theory. It requires focused, practical, high-impact training — and that is exactly what we deliver.
Our academy provides hands-on training across multiple modeling categories:
Through Invade Models, we’ve discovered and placed talent from the townships of South Africa to the runways of Milan, Paris, London, and Tokyo. Now, Invade Academy brings that same industry insider knowledge directly to you.
