THE MOULIN ROUGE MODELS
RETRO ROB
Retro Rob is the perfect model to portray The Duke of Monroth (often shorted to “The Duke“). He is the main antagonist of Baz Luhrmann’s 2001 Musical film, Moulin Rouge! He is wealthy, powerful, and unscrupulous with an unhealthy obsession with a showgirl.

Chloe makes her debut appearance for us on this Session Day. She is a professionally trained dancer, actress, and model with a diverse portfolio spanning a range of themed shoots. She has a unique ability to combine her extensive performance training with elegance and expressive movement and she will be dressed as a showgirl for this event (Not in costume above).
