Chameleon Models

Ford Model Elyse Saunders Rises To The Top With Diverse Looks

To make it in the fashion industry, you need to be able to diversify your look, and Elyse Saunders has mastered the art of being a Chameleon (and looking good doing it). 

She started at the age of 17, after being discovered during an audition for her younger sister in Toronto, Ontario. Now, at the age of 20, her face has already graced the covers of nearly all of the top Canadian fashion magazines and international ones and she has walked the runway for various high-end designers all around the globe.

You have to be doing something right to score a contract with one of the top modeling agencies in the world.
