THE MODEL MAVENS
Coco Rocha, Model
“My husband James and I left the blistering heat wave of New York for the tropical west coast of Costa Rica. We're enjoying ten days in a sleepy little surf town that we have (coincidentally) both been to in years gone by, but never together. We might go scuba diving, or zip lining, or climb a volcano or... we might be lazy and just lounge on the beach every day!”
Addison Gill, Model
“My summer destination is Kingston, Ontario, where my family meets for our annual reunion. My Granny and Grandpa have a trailer on the lake; my sister, cousins and I go swimming, canoeing, and kayaking.
Amanda Laine, Model
“I escaped to Paris and was also lucky enough to go to Vienna, Austria for a weekend. It was my first time there and it’s quickly becoming my favourite place. It is very pretty, clean, and has so many castles within the city.”
Tara Gill, Model
“My Summer vacations started with a trip to Veradero Cuba. I also went to St. Thomas and Tortola in the British Virgin Islands. All I can say is wow - it was an absolute paradise.”
Elmer Olsen, Founder of Elmer Olsen Models
“I love going back to my roots - the Prairies in southern Saskatchewan. The colors of the crops, the sunsets and the flat roads where you can see for days – it’s amazing!”
Ben Barry, Model Agent, Ben Barry Agency Inc.
“I escape to Cape Cod with my entire family - our annual August tradition since my grandparents first moved to Canada. They arrived from Berlin and fell in love with Provincetown because it reminded them of the Cabaret-filled nightlife in 1930s Berlin.”
Bojana Reljic, Model
“I've been so busy that I haven't been able to get away for the summer yet, but I would love to go to Cairo or Alexandria. I'm fascinated with history and would love to see all the ancient ruins.”
Matti Gidilevich, model agent Elite NY
"This summer has been anything but a vacation. I started off in Prince Edward County, enjoying an abundance of Canadian made wines, then it was off to Las Vegas for 5-day model search. I have reserved most of my spare time in August to spend with friends and family."
