Meet Karlie Schaphorst
“If you set an intention for your day and work from there, you can make small goals become these big realized dreams.” - Karlie Schaphorst
Karlie knows the value of hard work and patience. Her philosophy on life translates into her work, and keeps her positive and focused. “It’s about a lot of small, long days that lead up to these big breaks for a lot of models.”
Upon arriving in Paris from her hometown in Nebraska (US), Karlie immediately booked a Marie Claire cover shoot in Greece. She then worked on a Parisian movie production for “It Must Be Heaven”, playing a beautiful girl that leads the main character to fall in love with Paris. Beyond work like this, Karlie regularly works for Jour/Ne, the French label that offers gorgeous practical clothing combining simplicity and creativity.
Before modelling full time in France, Karlie was a professional swimmer. Off camera, she now keeps herself stimulated by keeping up on current events, and producing her blog - Skarface.

Meet MaryAnn Elizabeth
MaryAnn was first scouted at the age of 14 in the 80’s by Elite Model Management. At that time, her parents would not allow her to become a model - but the oft-said phrase, “If it’s meant to be, it will be” couldn’t be more relevant than in MaryAnn’s case.
Fast-forward 33 years, and MaryAnn finally began her modelling journey at age 47. She now can claim jobs for clients including AVEDA and Numero Russia Magazine, as well as modelling for numerous designers including Deveaux New York.
“I am not sure I would have had the confidence at 14, or even 20 for that matter, to be a successful model. As a young person, I struggled with a lot of self-doubt regarding body image.”
MaryAnn discusses what it’s like to be a model at her age, and the life mottos she likes to live by.
