Karem Belalcazar

Karem Belalcazar, a native of Colombia, kicked off her modeling career at the age of seven, became a successful model, trained other aspiring models throughout her teens; and now, for nearly two decades, she’s made a name for herself in the worlds of modeling, fashion and magazine publishing.

After a lifetime of modeling, training models, creating content, selling advertising, promoting and selling, Karem realized it was time to create an all-inclusive firm—KB1111. KB1111 Agency, located in the heart of New York City’s Fashion District, is a modeling agency that provides extensive training for emerging faces, while managing the careers of existing models. With the fusion of KB1111 Models and In The Spotlight, she’s able to promote her models to magazine sponsors, thus making the agency a "back bone" to her entire corporate infrastructure.

KB1111 Models is a well-rounded and powerful advertising, promotion and modeling agency where dreams are made into reality while reaching targeted audiences for clients through highly effective advertising campaigns.

As a former executive of the highly successful fashion publication Cravings Magazine, Karem’s multi-faceted role allowed her to gain tremendous experience in all areas of producing a fashion magazine. From model recruitment, to content development, photo shoot coordination, project management, vendor negotiation, coordination of freelance writers and photographers, and to ad sales and sales negotiations, it was only natural Karem would launch her own publication, In The Spotlight.

After the venture of In The Spotlight, Karem wanted to expand her horizons within the fashion publication industry, thus my CULTURE was conceptualized as a magazine encompassing fashion, beauty, health, travel and lifestyle.
