// ABOUT Emi Riva

A decade of shaping Dubai's talent landscape with innovation, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.

// The Emi Riva Story

Founded in 2015 by Abdullah Al Falasi, Emi Riva was born from a vision to redefine talent management in Southeast Asia. What started as a boutique agency with just five models has grown into Dubai's most sought-after talent powerhouse.

Our name reflects our mission: to help every individual and brand reach their highest point. We believe that the right talent, placed in the right moment, creates magic that transcends ordinary marketing.

Today, we represent over 250 models and talents across fashion, commercial, fitness, and lifestyle categories. Our client roster includes Fortune 500 companies, luxury fashion houses, and Dubai's most prestigious events.
