Who we are

Pākōlea Models is more than just a modeling agency—it’s a movement dedicated to empowering local talent, breaking industry barriers, and proving that Hawaiʻi belongs on global runways. Founded on the values of confidence, professionalism, and cultural pride, we provide aspiring models with the training, mentorship, and opportunities they need to succeed in high-fashion, commercial, and editorial spaces.

Our mission is to elevate Hawaiʻi’s modeling industry by creating a supportive, community-driven platform where models can grow, thrive, and shine. Through runway shows, brand collaborations, and international experiences like Miami Swim Week, we are bringing the beauty, talent, and aloha spirit of Hawaiʻi to the world.

At Pākōlea, we don’t just model—we represent our culture, our people, and the next generation of Hawaiʻi talent.
