Supermodel Jessica Stam

The modelling and fashion industry is a multi-million dollar business, which attracts the prettiest of women (as well as men) from all around the world. Many fashion and supermodels have made millions as well as made their mark on the industry. Fashion shows and the models that work the shows bring in the elite crowds and make the designers millions of dollars every year in hopes to be the next top supermodel. This got me thinking the other day on how many of these famous or successful female models came from Canada. Therefore, I gathered only 10 of what I thought to be either the most famous or successful models from Canada and brought them together here.

Supermodel Jessica
Jessica Stam who was born April 23, 1986 in Kincardine, Ontario. Growing up on a farm as a teen, the thought of being a model never actually crossed the mind of Stam but instead she had hopes of becoming a dentist. Well destiny had other plans for her, as she would find out. One day the family was on their way back from a day trip to Canada’s Wonderland, when they stopped at a Tim Horton’s for a bathroom break. This is where Stam was discovered standing in line by modelling scout “Michele Miller” of International Model Management in Barrie, Ontario. After that photographer, “Steven Meisel” used the 16 year old in every one of his ad campaigns of his. Stam then went on to win the Los Angeles Model Look Search in 2002. Through out her 7-year career she has already worked for such agencies as International Model Management, IMG “London/Milan/NY/Paris”, My Model Management, Giovanni Model Management, Bravo Models, View Management and Why Not Model Agency. Stam has been in over 30 advertisements altogether, on 22 magazine covers and in over 15 fashion shows. She has accomplished an astonishing amount in such a short period and this to me makes Jessica Stam another one of Canada’s top models.There are many more Canadian female supermodels that have accomplished the same as these 10 girls if not more but to me these are the 10 supermodels in my mind that are Canada’s Top Models.
