From her debut on the runways of New York for Betsey Johnson until now,
it has been a whirlwind for Lisa Cant from Calgary's Images Models.
Her doll-like looks and charming smile have landed her ads for Juicy Couture,
A-k-r-i-s, Carolina Herrera, Dolce and Gabbana as well as two consecutive covers of Italian vogue and a numerous amount of fashion magazine covers.
We had the pleasure to interview this charming Canadian eye-catcher for our model of the month in August....
How did you get started in the modeling business?
Lisa:
When I was 14 years old, another model approached me in an Ikea store, and gave me Pat at Images Models card.
Did you ever think you'd be doing this?
Lisa:
No, I never considered it, because I was so shy growing up.
What do you like most about modeling? What do you like least?
Lisa:
I like the traveling most, because I get to see so many different parts of the world. However it's also sometimes the part I like least, because sometimes I'll be away from my home for many weeks, and it gets tiring.
Have you encountered any surprises along the way?
Lisa:
Whenever photos from a job come out, it's a surprise, because I never know how they're going to look in the end. Sometimes it's completely different from the day I shot it.
Ever get tempted to get pulled into the party scene?
Lisa:
I only ever go to parties when I have the day off the next day. Every now and then I think it's ok.
Have you developed any new interests since you started modeling?
Lisa:
I started surfing a few years ago, and even though I'm awful at it, I have fun.
What are your favourite things to do in your free time?
Lisa:
I like to read fiction books, and relax at home.
Out of all the places your career has taken you, where was the most memorable?
Lisa:
There's been so many memorable trips... Japan, Romania, Greece, Capetown...
Do you have a mentor? Who? What is it about them that affects you? Why?
Lisa:
Any successful woman is my mentor, because I feel women are just now being judged fairly against men in business.
Where do you see yourself in ten years? What could be your next career?
Lisa:
I have no idea what my next career will be.. Hopefully something I enjoy.
What are your best beauty secrets? How do you stay in shape?
Lisa:
I always moisturize my skin, because it tends to get very dry. I'm not very fanatic in terms of dieting or exercise, just everything in moderation.
What would you want people to know about you?
Lisa:
That I enjoy my career and life.
Any advice for new models? What advice would you give other models starting out?
Lisa:
It took me a while before I started being successful... stick it out!
Favourite all-time model:
Lisa:
Christy Turlington
Favourite kind of food:
Lisa:
Italian
Favourite kind of music:
Lisa:
Pop.
Favourite quote:
Lisa:
Let it Be.
I'd like to meet:
Lisa:
Bill Clinton.
If I were trapped on an island I'd take:
Lisa:
Many many many books.
Thank you Lisa for this interview!
Special thanks to Pat and Images Models.
