MODEL UPDATE

FABRIC Magazine’s very own Model Update! We are going to update you on three amazing Toronto Models: a well known veteran, a rising star, and a new face in Toronto. In that order; Elmer Olsen’s Daria Werbowy and Amanda Laine and Stylus Models' Nicole J.

THE FRONT AND BACK OF FRENCH VOGUE

Canada’s own Daria Werbowy was discovered walking around 5’11 at age 14. Her career began with Susan J. Model & Talent, soon after Daria signed with Elite Model Management. Currently in Toronto Daria is represented by Elmer Olsen Model Management, and internationally by the International Modeling Group (IMG) in New York, which is her mother agency. Since then, Daria has risen to the top of the international super modeling realm, fronting campaigns for Lancome, Prada, YSL, Roberto Cavalli, Gucci, Hermes, Valentino, Versace, Louis Vuitton and Chanel. Featured on the front, back, and feature editorial of Paris Vogue's August issue, shown above, in addition to a fashion spread in the September Paris Vogue. Werbowy was quoted saying she would retire at 25 and move home to her Toronto suburb, only weeks from her 25th birthday (November 19th). We can only wait to see what she does... we’re hoping she decides to work here in Toronto!
