Canadian supermodels Kirsten Owen, Coco Rocha, Jessica Stam, Irina Lăzăreanu and Winnie Harlow unite to discuss the highs and lows of their magnificent careers.As Kirsten Owen, Coco Rocha, Jessica Stam, Irina Lăzăreanu and Winnie Harlow trickle into a Brooklyn studio fors September cover shoot, it’s clear that this is going to be no ordinary day on-set. “It’s been so long!” Lăzăreanu exclaims as she throws her arms around Rocha.
At 53, Owen is the eldest of the bunch. Born in Montreal, she was 16 and busing tables at a nightclub in Toronto when she was discovered by legendary agent Judy Welch. Within the year, she was sent off to Paris, where the style of catwalking at the time was sexy and high energy with lots of smiles and twirls. Grunge before grunge, Owen was a misfit with her solemn, androgynous strut.
Rocha, who was raised in Richmond, B.C., came to modelling as a Jehovah’s Witness. From early on, she has adhered to its core beliefs, such as no nudity or even partial nudity. But her faith has never been an obstacle, and Rocha quickly became lauded for her theatrical style of movement in front of the camera. Her strength of character extended to her off-hours as well.
. Despite having been discouraged from modelling due to her skin condition, vitiligo, she persisted, and in addition to her many cover, runway and campaign achievements, she brought her suncare line, Cay Skin, to Canadian Sephora stores—one of which turned her down when she once applied for a job. She also just launched her very first Puma collaboration—fully designed by Harlow herself.

Earring, $160, Jenny Bird.“When I started my career, nobody understood my look; nobody knew what to do with me. I was considered edgy and different looking; I would go to casting after casting and people would throw my book away. This is when we used to do castings on foot and go around the city with a little map. It was 10 castings a day and 10 noes a day.
