It has come to our attention that SL Models Academy has copied and stolen AVENUE Models Academy curriculum and student information wholesale making the same claims to have instructors from Runway Kidz and Runway Magazine. What Vanessa Knoller, Head Instructor of SL Models Academy (and also using the same titles as our Academy) forgot to do was in duplicating the whole Academy Info notecard word for word was to change who to pay to. So it was by chance and a twist of fate that due to a careless copycat and thief that several model trainee applicants came to us with payments for the course.
The Avenue blog above and the ripped off site below
Imitation can only be regarded as the highest form of compliment but let it be known that we have no association with thieves of any kind in SL least of all SL Models Agency which obviously lacks their own ideas and most of all integrity. AVENUE will never support the same for rip offs of designers and any other creators in SL.
Here is Runway Kidz statement to support this report http://runwaykidz.wordpress.com/

Along with this press release I also received confirmation IMs from others including Wyntir Jewell who had this to say:
Wyntir Jewell: Dana I was looking on fashion planet and Avenue models had an article about Vanessa knowler who is using their notecard for her agency and academy and copying their blog, I looked at the blog and she is using a pic of me on the front of their blog too, I have put a message on fashion planet saying I have nothing to do with this agency. I have also sent a stern message to ms knowler telling her to remove my pic.
