'Laura K.' is the name on everyone's lips these days. If not only for her dynamic personality which is impeccably translated in her striking photos, but also for her distinct features which have already caught the eye of the nation's top photographers and magazine editors.

→Canada's Real Next Top Models
The most exciting thing about model scouting is that, at any given time—you can be relaxing over a creamy latte at your favorite market café or simply picking up a few groceries at your super-sized neighborhood grocery store—, a girl or boy with a beautifully striking face could stroll by. Any good agent knows that in that moment of excitement, one mustn't precipitate their actions too suddenly, as they might just as quickly come to realize that the perfect profile which caught their eye is unfortunately not complimented by an overall great figure. Thankfully, you don't always have to stand back for a second before making a move; when you come across girls like Laura K. or Giselle (CMM hottest new faces; Laura (top row), Giselle (bottom row) you should act hastily so that you don't miss your chance. These two girls had us, and a slew of other top Canadian bookers, gasping for air. Thank goodness we know how to play the scouting game, and golly we're darn good at it too!

→Sticking with it! 
We receive emails constantly from younger girl, as young as 13-16 (or their parents), inquiring about starting a career in modeling. But modeling at such a young age for many is questionable. Sure, there are lots top models out there that are very young (such as new fashion sensations Karlie Kloss-16, Taryn Davidson-17, and Monika Jagaciak-15); these girls have all started at a very young age and, with great maturity and poise, are already handling tremendous early careers success in fashion.
However, for the majority of little woman out there, your teen years can be tricky time to venture into modeling since it's a time of important growth; your body proportions change dramatically over short periods of time, while everyone knows proportions are everything in this business.
So what most agents will do, if their interested enough, is follow a girl's natural growth over the course of a few months (sometimes maybe a few years) to see how they develop. Afterwards, agents will either decide to start working with you as a model, or suggest that modeling is perhaps not your calling.
In the case of Taylor Hines, we've watched her grow for almost two years and CMM is so excited to see her develop into the beautiful, tall, model we always predicted she could become. Once again, patience is key if you really want to succeed in modelling. We look forward to this future star appearing on many many runway! (Photos by Laura Berg)

→Welcome to Broadway... street that is
928 Broadway Street is just one of the addresses our top model-to-be Cassandra Tighe has visited this past week in New York city. Nonetheless, the office of VNY Model Management (ranked as one of the Top 10 Editorial agencies in the city) has been the most significant one for Tighe as she signs on with the agency known for carefully hand picking each of its models and being very attentive in ensuring their success. As such, attention and encouragement are exactly what our budding star needs to succeed in the übber competitive modelling industry, as she embarks on the next leg of her mission to supermodel-dom. With her impressive portfolio, it's not surprising we've already gottten nods of approval from some of the industry's most reputable agents. Time can only tell when we'll finally celebrate her fashion spread in Vogue or W magazine.
424 Broadway Stylishly nestled in the eclectic SoHo neighbourhood, this is where Empire Model Management takes care of all its business. This involves meeting with newcomer models like "The Twins", Svenja & Nadine, who are taking their first steps onto a road many aspiring models hope to travel. These two charming girls with porcelain skin and Rapunsel-like manes are forces to be reckoned with; not only will their looks surely have people double-taking, but their passion and commitment to succeed will undoubtedly draw agents to giving them much positive attention.
