After six remarkable years of shaping the ro-modeling community, Aquivér has officially announced its closure, marking the end of one of the industry's longest-running and most influential agencies. Since its founding on September 13, 2020, Aquivér became more than just an agency—it became a home, a family, and a launching pad for countless aspiring models and creatives. Through unforgettable runway moments, groundbreaking eras, and a legacy built on passion and dedication, Aquivér leaves behind a name that will forever be remembered in ro-modeling history.
The announcement brought an emotional wave across the community as current and former staff, models, and supporters reflected on the impact Aquivér had on their lives. Legendary Supermodel Tiara Fiorel described the closure as "The End of an Era," expressing heartfelt gratitude to founder Cedella, whose creativity and vision inspired generations of young talent. Tiara also honored Virtuoso, the Human Resources team, board members, models, and countless contributors who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to keep the agency thriving through every chapter.
Elena shared that Aquivér was the first agency she ever joined and credited the organization for teaching her valuable lessons while helping shape her career. She fondly recalled working alongside Virtuoso during a transformative period for the agency and described co-owning Aquivér as one of her proudest accomplishments. Virtuoso's farewell was simple yet powerful: "Thank you all. Signing off, Virtuoso."
Steph reflected on the difficulty of saying goodbye, reminding everyone that every chapter has a beginning, middle, and end, while Eileen left the community with a poetic final message: "Long live our reign, Long live our love."
Although Aquivér's doors may be closing, its legacy will continue to live on through every model it inspired, every friendship it created, and every dream it helped turn into reality. For six years, Aquivér stood as a symbol of excellence, creativity, and community within the ro-modeling world. While this chapter has come to an end, the memories, lessons, and impact left behind will never fade. As one era closes, the legacy of Aquivér will forever remain woven into the fabric of the community it helped shape.
Editor's Note
Aquivér, thank you.
I write this final message thanking everyone who supported me throughout my journey and encouraged me to keep going. First, I want to thank Virtuoso for the amazing opportunities and bond that I will forever carry in my heart and with my heels raised high. Virtuoso changed my experience and the way I view the remodeling industry forever.
To Eileen, thank you for your kindness even before I became an Aquivér model. You always made me feel welcomed, and your support meant more than you know. You helped me believe in myself when I questioned whether I belonged in agencies as prestigious as Aquivér.
Steph, thank you for always being positive, supportive, and someone I could count on whenever I needed help. Your kindness will never be forgotten.
Tiara, you were the very first session leader I attended in Aquivér. You critiqued my walk and encouraged me to continue pursuing this community. I listened, and because of that advice, I am here today. I will always be grateful.
Fiona, or Fifi, thank you for the countless conversations, laughs, and memories. Blythe, you were a true sister to me—from playing Aquivér's Secret Angels together to becoming model sisters. I cherish every moment. Misty, thank you for being someone I could bond with and connect to through the things we loved most.
To everyone I didn't mention, please know that I deeply appreciate every memory, every conversation, and every moment we shared together. I hope that in another life, we can all return to Aquivér and build something even greater than what it became.
As Aquivér was my very first house, this goodbye is especially difficult. The love, support, opportunities, and friendships I found here will stay with me forever. Thank you, Aquivér. See you on the other side—and this won't be the last time you see me.
Versace Klum, Signing Off.
