One of the snapshots K.P.'s
mother sent to Michèle
Modelresource doesn’t get easily get excited. Then, something like this comes along and modelresource freaks out.
Michèle Miller - she that marched
Jessica Stam,
Michelle Valencourt,
Andi Muise and a host of other unbelievable models to the top of the fashion world – is marching that familiar path once again.
Check out 5'11"
K.P., who's mother got in touch with Michèle's
International Model Management just over a week ago.
When Michèle asked for more snapshots, K.P.’s mom in distant Manatoulin Island went as far as contacting the
Toronto Star's Fashion Editor
Bernadette Morra, to see if it was worth following up with the Barrie, Ontario agency.
The reference glowed, and new snapshots (like the one on the right) made their way from Manatoulin to Michèle's inbox shortly thereafter.
Michèle's head started spinning (we know, because she called modelresource and swore us to secrecy before passing along the pictures last week).
Days later, the statuesque 17-year-old was in Barrie where she signed with International, and stayed with Michèle for four days learning all about modelling.
Part of K.P.'s mannequin immersion included a trip to Toronto where she shot with photographers
Mooishi and
Greg Paupst (some of the results of which can be seen below).
Thursday, modelresource had the opportunity to watch a nine minute video of K.P. at those shoots. The girl can move. The girl has personality.
K.P. (nine DAYS into her career) already has a load of options including
American Vogue and some major couture shows in Paris next month.
