Posted August 12, 20213 yr A finalist in the 1986 Elite "Look of the Year" contest, Dionne Whittaker is a former top international fashion model that worked professionally during the 80s & 90s and was represented by top agencies Elite (New York), Elite (Paris), Elite Runway (New York), Models1/Elite (London) & Elite (Los Angeles). "Last week four young women won the Canadian finals of the New York Elite Model Agency’s annual Look of the Year search, which qualifies them to compete in the world finals to be held in Italy this fall. Each of them said that she thought the look currently sought by modelling agencies has changed. Said 16year-old Christina Gancevich of Kitchener, Ont.: “It used to be that models were tall and thin with outrageous features. Now if you look nice and have a nice figure, that’s enough.” Sheryl Gill, 18, of Simcoe, Ont., added: “Some of it is physical, like full lips. It’s kind of an ethnic look.” Vancouver’s Dionne Whittaker, 17, said that agencies now “want older models, even between 40 and 60.” Noted Gancevich: “You can still be beautiful at 40. You’re supposed to.” And Calgary’s Robynne Koch, 16, declared that as a model your career ends only “when you start getting wrinkles.” - Excerpt from People Magazine (Link below) Additional links about Dionne: https://www.modelscomposites.com/getlist.php?list=wld&choice=Dionne+Whittaker&year=all&id= https://www.modelscomposites.com/getlist.php?list=wld&choice=The+Look+of+the+Year+1986&year=all&id= https://archive.macleans.ca/article/1986/7/28/people https://www.torontopubliclibrary.ca/detail.jsp?Entt=RDMDC-TSPA_0027152F&R=DC-TSPA_0027152F Height: 5'10.5" (1.79) Hair: Dark Brown Eyes: Dark Brown Nationality: Canadian From Peter Marlowe Composites:
