It’s been several months since Cynthia Bailey‘s modeling school ‘The Bailey Agency‘ closed it’s doors and speculation began immediately that the business had failed.

Contrary to internet rumors, The Bailey Agency School of Fashion, which opened July 5, 2011, had actually outgrown its space and the location was placed for lease as the new location was being completed.

Bailey has now joined forces with celebrity photographer Derek Blanks, and the two have combined their successful businesses and now share a location. Seems like a win/win collaboration… Cynthia has all the young, up & coming models in need of headshots and Derek is quite well known for creating brilliant photos!

Bailey and Blanks celebrated the grand opening of their new location with an all White party last weekend, which (coincidentally) will be aired on the upcoming 6th season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

Nene Leakes, Phaedra Parks, Kandi Burruss, Kenya Moore & Porsha Stewart all joined their fellow Atlanta ‘housewife’ in celebration of her grand opening. Fashion Queens, Derek J and Lawrence Washington also showed their support.
