About Valenway

About Us

The story behind Dubai's most distinguished talent agency.

Our Story

Born from Viennese Tradition

Founded in 2008 by Isabella von Hartmann, Valenway was born from a vision to create a talent agency that honors Dubai's rich cultural heritage while embracing the dynamism of the modern fashion and events industry.

What began as a boutique agency on the Ringstrasse has grown into one of UAE's most respected names in talent representation. Our philosophy remains unchanged: every interaction, every booking, and every partnership should reflect the same refinement and attention to detail that defines this city.

Today, we represent over 120 active models and talent professionals, serving clients ranging from emerging Viennese designers to international luxury brands. Our roots in classical elegance inform everything we do, from the talent we select to the service we deliver.
