Wilhelmina Models (OTCQX: WHLM) is a modeling agency founded in 1967 by the model Wilhelmina Cooper and her husband Bruce Cooper in Manhattan. In 2010, Wilhelmina Models started a sub-brand called "Digital Empire Modeling" for new digital-era modeling talents.

In February 2009, the company was acquired by New Century Equity Holdings Corp., a publicly traded company. New Century subsequently changed its name to Wilhelmina International, Inc. and now trades under the ticker symbol WHLM.

Prior to the transaction, the agency was owned and run by Horst-Dieter Esch and Brad Krassner, who purchased 50% from Esch in 1999. Currently Esch and Krassner are Directors of the Company. The company's largest shareholder is Newcastle Partners, L.P. Messrs. Esch and Krassner also remain significant shareholders of the company.

The agency was sold in 1988 to Horst-Dieter Esch for $5 million. He later made his daughter Natasha Esch president as a twenty-first birthday present. The Wilhelmina Guide to Modeling was published in 1996 by Simon & Schuster, New York. Although authorship is attributed to Natasha Esch, actual writing credit is given to C.L. Walker, who was a Wilhelmina model at the time.
