Canada & USA

There's no denying the incredible amount of influence the United States has when it comes to determining market trends. In respect to modelling, New York is the epicentre of the industry - the same can be said when it comes to fashion and design. Before they've learned much else about the industry, new models already know that New York is where careers are made. If they're successful in New York and receive the American stamp of approval, their careers can flourish. Whether the US is a fashion innovator is up for debate, but it's an undeniable economic powerhouse. Ranging from high end clients, beauty brands, and e-commerce giants, the US is home to some of fashion's top brands and companies such as: Alexander Wang, Marc Jacobs, Calvin Klein, The Gap, Tommy Hilfiger, Michael Kors, Maybelline, Nordstrom, Victoria's Secret, and so forth. These clients don't only pay top dollar, but also act as prestigious endorsements of a model's caliber and relevance to other clients, agencies, and the media.
