Male Models Suffer, Too
By LORRAYNE ANTHONY, Canadian Press
TORONTO (CP) - Ryan Taylor didn't make his prom this year. In fact he hasn't made it to a single school dance this year and he only made three weeks of the football season.
It's not that he has no interest in dances or playing sports. Or that his parents want him to work on his grades or that the school has banned him from taking part in events. "It's not that big a deal," 16-year-old Taylor said from his mother's place in Burlington, Ont. "It's just a fancy dance."
He was home on a Monday afternoon waiting for a call from Italian Vogue. Since he knew this photo spread, to be shot in Los Angeles, was a possibility, he didn't want to buy a ticket or ask anyone to the prom.
Taylor has been living his life like this - waiting for calls beckoning him to photo shoots or runway shows in exotic locales - since he was swept into the fashion world a year ago.
At that time he didn't know Dolce & Gabbana from Donna Karan, and his world was all about school and football. His fashion sense was like that of any other kid in southern Ontario - he dressed for comfort, the weather and maybe to fit in.
"I knew nothing about fashion before I got into the industry. Not much of an interest," he said. "Never even thought about it."
His dad can vouch for his lack of sartorial knowledge.
"We're not Okies from Muskogee ... but were we the kind (of family) to have designer labels? No," said Frank Taylor, a commercial real-estate agent.
He said that both he and Ryan's mother are professionals, so the adults were always dressed appropriately and when it came time for back-to-school shopping, the family with three children went to department stores, not designer boutiques.
"We're not married anymore, but I'll tell you we were darn good at making good-looking kids," Frank Taylor said, barely hiding his paternal pride.
He thinks Ryan's two younger siblings - who are equally as good looking if he does say so himself - may follow in their brother's tracks.
A year into the industry, the young Taylor is as down to earth as any soon-to-be 17-year-old can be and only has to deal with occasional ribbing about being a model.
Still, jetting off to foreign cities and a closet filled with designer togs (while he doesn't see the virtue of spending a small fortune on boutique items, many of the fashion houses give out freebies to their models), sets him apart from most teenagers.
As well, he no longer attends classes because he needs to be available to drop everything to fly off for photo shoots.
But he still wants his education.
Through his school, Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School in Burlington and the Halton Roman Catholic School Board, Taylor does independent study and has a tutor.
By taking courses this summer, he is trying to keep pace with his classmates and hopes to wear a graduation cap at commencement with them next spring.
Mary Ann Vaughan is a guidance counsellor for independent study with the Halton Roman Catholic School Board. She said there are many students who are unable to go to regularly scheduled classes and independent studies allow them to learn on their own timetable.
"For kids who travel ... and they can't possibly hold a full timetable because of their activities, then this is perfect," she said.
Students who take part include elite athletes, exchange students who are abroad for a short time and, now, models.
"If things don't work out for them, with whatever they are doing, then they can return to a school setting in the following semester."
Vaughan said Taylor will be successful with independent study as he is really willing to work hard. She said this is important as his situation is a little more difficult than that of most students.
Taylor is often alone when he travels, whereas athletes often travel in a group or with parents.
But going solo to the fashion shows is new for Taylor.
Last year when he was a rookie to the industry, both his mother and father took turns accompanying him to fashion shows so they could feel comfortable with all the people in the different locations.
It was no small sacrifice as Taylor's mom puts in long hours at her work and dad said good-bye to many deals in order to attend the fashion shows in Milan and Paris.
"I'll make less money to support Ryan in this," Frank Taylor said. "I've lost deals. I've lost a lot of money over the last year because of the amount of travelling I had to go on."
And it's not as though his son's income is through the roof.
While it may be more glamorous and the pay is better than flipping burgers, he certainly isn't commanding the salary of a female supermodel. (At the height of her career, Canada's Linda Evangelista famously said she doesn't even get out of bed for less than $10,000.)
"The girls are in such a higher market," Ryan Taylor said. "They sell so much more clothing. They make so much more money."
Even though he worked many of the major shows last year, Frank Taylor said his son probably made somewhere around $50,000 after paying for airline tickets and food while on the road.
But Ryan admitted the industry is a lot more difficult for his female counterparts, as they have to worry about everything they eat and can't work out like male models because muscles on girls are frowned upon.
"I've never heard of any of the guys on a coffee and (cocaine) diet."
Even if he doesn't command a six-figure salary yet, he is enjoying modelling to the point where he might put off university.
"You can only do modelling for so long," he said, cautiously lowering his voice when he adds that he hopes to eventually make Manhattan his home.
"But it doesn't matter if you go to school at 19 or 25."

More Life & Style Stories
It wasn't until a photographer, who was taking a family portrait, mentioned Taylor's potential as a model that the family thought of Ryan's chiselled physique and striking face in a new light.
