OK, so this article talks about Heather and Stam being featured in the Victoria's Secret show! Nothing new, but it does mention her, so here it is: Another article that I found 
*calgarysun.comCanadian models hit stride at Calgary fashion event
Heather and co.
In Italian, Bella means beautiful. But the Holt Renfrew spring fashion show boasted nothing but Canadiana.
“A lot of it is the look of the model,” says star model Heather Marks, back home to work the annual Holt preview at Calgary’s Hyatt Regency Hotel this week.
Marks, fellow Albertan Tricia Helfer and Ontario supermodel Daria Werbowy are leading the latest wave of Canadian runway queens to captivate the fashion world.
Marks just added the cover of Harper’s Bazaar from Asia to her extensive list of credits.
“It’s kind of cool that Canadians are the ‘in’ thing. It was Brazilians for awhile, then it was Russians, now it’s our time to shine, I think,” she says.
But it isn’t just “the look” that gets Canadians recognized.
“Most Canadians have such good personalities,” Marks says.
“Your personality kind of adds to your look, and people will look at you differently.”
Fellow model Jade Merriman agrees. “There’s a huge group of Canadians right now,” she says.
Bella was a fundraising extravaganza, hosting 800 of Calgary’s wealthiest fashionistas and donating all proceeds to women’s heart health.
Backstage, Merriman took the Sun behind the scenes to see what models go through before they hit the catwalk.
“It’s very clique-y,” she says, entering a dressing room filled with models, biding their time until their turn in the makeup chair.
Marks sat calmly munching on veggies with the other established girls. Emily Byers and Megan Dryden huddled together with the other “newbies,” and the guys hang out in the opposite end of the room.
“This is my first show,” Byers says. “And I’m kind of nervous.”
She’s in the presence of her idol, adding to her fraying nerves.
“I want to be like Heather Marks. I haven’t really talked to her,” she says, “but I just want to work really hard at modelling and do whatever it takes (to get to that level).”
As the sixth model to hit the runway, Byers transformed from a nervous newbie to a couture-clad wonderwoman under the lights, strutting her stuff in gorgeous Chanel taffeta.
In her first runway show, Dryden wore deep purple Marni, sticking out in the crowd of models in the most spring-like of outfits.
“I’m kind of nervous but I’m excited,” says Dryden, careful not to smear her bright orange lipstick as she talked.
It wasn’t just the models making Canada proud.
While the established fashion houses — Balenciaga, Missoni, and Prada — all have much to offer, it was Canadian designers Paul Hardy and DSquared that stood out at the Holt event.
Hardy, Calgary’s top designer, stole the show with shades of white and touches of lace and gauze.
DSquared took their tongue-in-cheek Canadian style to another level, with Western inspired shirts tucked into floral boxers, and denim being paramount in the collection.

Nice Duc back there, probably the only bike that's more high maintenance than women, but it's SO worth it.
