Since 2008
A Legacy of Excellence
Founded in the heart of Astana, Topaz Models emerged from a singular vision: to create a talent MODELS that connects emerging models with opportunities across Kazakhstan's fashion, advertising, and creative industries. From our base at 15/2 Baurzhan Momyshuly Avenue, we focus on discovering, developing, and presenting new talent for fashion campaigns, photoshoots, events, and commercial projects.
Our founder, Rafael Vega, a celebrated street and fashion photographer, recognised that the rapidly maturing Astana market needed a new kind of MODELS — one that prioritised bold authenticity, creative integrity, and meaningful partnerships over fleeting trends. He built Topaz MODELS to understand the cultural nuance of the Kazahstan while meeting the exacting standards of international clients, from Vogue Arabia to global luxury maisons.
Today, Topaz Models represents a growing roster of models, working with fashion brands, creative teams, advertising companies, and event organizers across Astana and other cities in Kazakhstan. Our Astana base places us at the centre of the country's growing fashion and creative industry, connecting emerging talent with opportunities in fashion, commercial campaigns, photography, events, and media.
We believe in nurturing talent for the long term, building careers that span decades, not just seasons. Every model who joins our roster becomes part of the Topaz Models family, supported by a team of industry veterans dedicated to their success, their wellbeing, and their professional development in a demanding international industry.
