Name: Brenda Mutoni

Where you’ve seen her: On the runways at Halifax’s Atlantic Fashion Week and at LG Fashion Week in Toronto, and in our On The Market video sporting fashion market editor Sarah Casselman’s top denim picks.

How did you get into modelling?
“I never really considered modelling before I was approached by a friend to model for a magazine she was creating as part of her thesis in fashion communications at Ryerson University. From there I realized that I had potential and decided to pursue it further.”

Name: Kimmy Foulkes

Agency: Sutherland Models

Where you’ve seen her: On the runway at LG Fashion Week in Toronto and in our Beauty 101: Bronzer and Self Tanner videos.

Who is your favourite designer?
“My favorite designer is Michael Kors because of his classic style. His designs look amazingly clean yet luxurious. I don’t think his clothes will ever go out of style.”

We met Kirsten from Ford Models earlier this year when she appeared in our On the Market: Feminine details video. If you’ve had your eyes open you may have spotted her in editorials for Ion magazine or for the online publication Fantasticsmag. We chatted with the up-and-coming face about exotic locales, Adam Lambert and getting the boot from Value Village.

What’s the craziest thing you’ve had to do for a shoot? Last summer I shot for Ion magazine with Norman Wong. We shot the entire story with disposable cameras, changing location from the studio, to Kensington, Union Station and the Beach. He told me and the two other models to go crazy and do whatever we wanted, which resulted in  us getting kicked out of Value Village, hopping fences, and earned us some dirty looks from protestors on the street.  It was definitely the most fun and adventurous shoot I’ve done!

Name: Adrianne Ho

Agency: Ford Models

Where you’ve seen her: Adrianne stars in our On the market: Denim video, but that’s not the first time she’s worked with us–the photo above appeared in our beauty section last August. She’s also appeared in ads for Nikon and the campaign for the 20th anniversary of Fashion Cares.

Tell us about your most fun modeling experience so far.
At Chantale Nadeau’s spring showcase. We met agents in hopes of being placed with agencies internationally and I knew that it was of paramount importance that I made a good impression. I wanted those agents to remember Chelsea Coyle. All I remember was stepping out onto the runway and a moment later ending up on my behind. My only choice was to get back up and finish the rest of the runway like it had never happened and I did so, to resounding applause! After my big runway debut I thought that would be the end of it all, although, just recently I found out that I have been placed with agencies outside of Canada. Maybe the fall was a good thing! I undoubtedly stole the show with my runway technique. Overall, it was a fun experience that has led me to amazing opportunities.
