Maryann Van Sickle started modeling when she was a
teenager. It was not long before she knew that this was to be
the industry she wanted to work in for the rest of her life.
She remarked, “Once it gets in your blood, you become
a ‘lifer’.”
She continued
her career as a model for “many” years, doing runway,
print, television and a full page in Vogue
magazine. When a friend asked her to teach her daughter how
to walk, stand up straight, and apply make-up, Maryann’s
answer was, “Are you kidding? I am too busy.”
Her friend was persistent and put together a group of ten young
girls, ages 13 to 17. This was to change Maryann’s life
forever. Maryann recalls, “It was so rewarding to
see the change in those beautiful young girls.” Those
ten young ladies were the beginning of what is now Models
and Images. Now, Maryann has models signed with most
of the top agencies in the world. Next, Ford, NY Models,
LA Models and Ford Chicago, just to name a few.
Her school and agency have steadily grown since 1985, and the
thrill of signing a model with a national agency is still great,
but no greater than seeing young students grow into confident
people that have a sense of style and feel good about themselves.
Now, Maryann
monitors the classrooms, choreographs the fashion shows, and
selects the “fashion” print for comp cards and the
Internet. The people she once taught are now teaching the classes
and working in the agency. One thing Maryann says she has in
common with everyone who works for Models and Images: “We
all love this business. It is in our blood”.
