Success Stories
These are just a few of our favorite success stories!
| Liisa Winkler - International Supermodel |
 |
 |
International Supermodel LIISA WINKLER attended CMTC at the age of 15. Since then, Liisa has been a mainstay in fashion magazines, advertising campaigns as well as on the runway!
Liisa took the modelling world by storm when she became the Gucci "It" Girl landing three consecutive Gucci contracts in 1999 & 2000.
Liisa has graced the runways and appeared in advertising campaigns for coveted designers such as Gucci, Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, Valentino, BCBG, Max Mara, Donna Karan, Giorgio Armani &
Tommy Hilfiger and has appeared in fashion magazines such as Vogue, Elle, Marie Claire, Allure and Harper's Bazaar.
Described as "breathtakingly beautiful" by Tom Ford, Gucci's former designer and creative director, Liisa entered the world of the supermodel side by side with the likes of Naomi Campbell, Gisele Bundchen, Amber Valletta and Kate Moss.
Liisa was discovered by CMTC President Audra Anderson while she was shopping with her mother and best friend. Although hesitant at first, Liisa was encouraged to pursue modelling
and attend the prestigious Canadian Model & Talent Convention... the rest is history!
Liisa's modelling career has taken her to locations such as Australia, South Africa, Paris, Milan, London, Bali and Thailand to just name a few! Liisa contributes much of her success to her ability to stay
focused and also by remaining grounded and being herself. Liisa maintains that you must treat modelling like a business in order to be successful.
