Our Team
Willie Thorpe
Founder & CEOWillie Thorpe is the Founder and CEO of Rogue Fashen Modeling and Talent, a company he co-founded in 2018 alongside Carla Davis, Rachel Walker, and Michael Davis. Together, they set out to build a creative space where models, talent, and aspiring artists could grow, express themselves, and shine with confidence.
Raised in Raleigh, North Carolina, Willie was brought up by his mother, a single parent of three, who instilled in him faith, resilience, and a deep love for God. From a young age, he displayed a natural passion for talking, dancing, and fashion-interests that would eventually guide his life's work.
Willie earned his degree in Marketing from William Peace University. Having overcome many personal challenges, he channels his experiences into teaching, mentoring, and empowering the students of Rogue Fashen. His heart for people and commitment to excellence are at the core of everything he does.
Inspired by his first NewYork City fashion show-an experience that sparked the thought, "If they can do it, why can't /?"-Willie launched RF Productions. Since then, Rogue Fashen has produced and participated in major events including New York Fashion Week, Miami Swim Week, Strut Outside the Box (Autism Awareness), NC Fashion Expo (Breast Cancer Awareness), and ATL Changing Colors (Breast Cancer Awareness).
Willie is passionate about giving back to the community and helping individuals embrace their purpose. He founded Sister to Sister and The Strength of Man Conference, two programs dedicated to uplifting men andwomen through love, compassion, spiritual growth, and empowerment. His goal is to create environments where people feel supported-and where they can truly feel that God is in the room.
Willie is also the author of his inspiring memoir, Not For Sate: Body, Mind, and Spirit, which shares his personal journey and the lessons that shaped him.
