L'Oréal Fashion Week

Spring 2006 preview

Never before have Canadian designers had so much world-class talent from which to draw, and as last season boldly illustrated, quality models bring the camera lenses and the media to them.

Throughout fashion week Modelresource will be backstage, snapping photos and giving a behind-the-scenes view you won't see anywhere else, and on Thursday we will give modelresource readers a first look at the amazing lineup Pink Tartan has planned.

In the meantime, enjoy a sneak preview of the models you can expect to see at the Liberty Grand starting October 17th, as well as the most memorable models from the last shows.

Heather Marks was just one of the highlights of last season's shows.
March's most memorable models.

Sogan (Nam)

In a slick little move, Nam Models took a different approach to promoting its runway girls in advance of L'Oréal Fashion Week, putting out five glossy cards of clean-faced models.

Nam owner Norwayne Anderson told modelresource he wanted clients to understand what they were getting when they booked his models, so Women's Director Aaron Hawco shot the girls with no makeup and the rest is left to the imaginations of those doing the castings.

Watch for 5'11" redhead Anya to make an impression, along with Willow, who recently returned from a successful trip to Milan.

A trio of 5'10" lookers - Kaitlyn, Debb, & new face Courtney - and 5'11" modelresource favourite Annak should also do well.

Chantale Nadeau supplied gems like Myo, Mela, Christy Battell, Claire Oleson and Jessi M'Bengue also figure into a very strong mix of faces and bodies.

One of modelresource's favourites over the past few years, Laura Pilotte, should also be prominent again this season.
