“Audra and Mode Elle have been there for me from the very start of my career. By "there for me", I mean literally there visiting new agencies in foreign cities, helping me make difficult decisions, and supporting me every step of the way. I have seen many young girls in the business with other agents and none have come close to the personal attention and guidance that Audra can give. She cares about all of her girls so much and would do anything to help them to be both happy and successful. My experience with Mode Elle has been professional, caring, knowledgeable and fun! I am lucky to have found myself with this wonderful agency and would recommend them to any young person with dreams of a career in modeling or television! Thank you so very much Mode Elle!”

“Truly the best experience about being involved with Mode Elle is the fact that it is an honest and honourable agency! Myself, along with many whom I have met who have been involved with Mode Elle, have come out gaining confidence, a healthy and positive perspective and a cool new image! We allow our inner creativity to flow more relaxed, we meet interesting people and make many new friends, but more importantly, we realize, understand and are prepared on how the modelling and talent industries work! The knowledge gained throughout the course at Mode Elle as well as in the guidance received from Mode Elle staff when we enter our new career is with true team sincerity and pure, individual caring! I could never, ever put a dollar amount on the magnificent experiences Mode Elle has helped bring into my life!”

“From the minute my daughter & I met with Audra, we knew that if anyone could help Emma achieve her goals in the fashion industry, it was Mode Elle! Audra & the staff at Mode Elle are extremely professional, kind and are truly interested in helping people realize their dreams! Emma has learned a great deal about herself as well as the industry throughout her course at Mode Elle – perhaps the best lessons that Emma has learned is the importance of perseverance and to always follow your dreams, not only in modelling or acting but in everything that you do! Emma has been provided with skills, confidence and life lessons throughout her time with Mode Elle. We are so grateful and consider ourselves very fortunate to have been referred to Mode Elle - we are certain that Mode Elle is one of a kind! At Mode Elle, we are not just faces – we are people that Audra & the Mode Elle staff really care about!”

Kim Hlibchuk / Mother of Jordyn Hlibchuk
“Jordyn’s confidence and self-esteem that she has gained since getting involved with Mode Elle are unbelievable for a child her age! Photographers and clients that we have worked with all comment on Jordyn’s naturalness, her free-spirit as well as her ability to take direction well. Jordyn has come so far and experienced so much within the last couple of years thanks to Mode Elle’s courses, workshops, photoshoots, fashion shows, by attending CMTC as well as from Audra & Amie’s expertise and much-valued guidance. We are so proud of what Jordyn has accomplished and look forward to what the future holds for her!”

Shannon Lochhead / Mother of Liam & Aidan Lochhead
“We have had so much fun since getting started with Mode Elle and have met many great people! My husband first signed Liam up for the course here at Mode Elle and I really wasn’t sure what we were getting into as we were always so involved with hockey! But once we started attending the classes and had the opportunity to meet other families (who are now friends!), participating in fashion shows and attended CMTC, I realized that this was a wonderful opportunity! This truly was and is a great experience that I am really glad we got involved with! Now, both of our sons are involved and love attending auditions & getting jobs!”

Dena Gouweloos
“I learned so much while participating in the Professional Modelling, Acting & Image / Self-Enhancement Course here at Mode Elle about the industry itself and skills required of me in the industry, but the learning hasn’t stopped there! I love that Mode Elle continuously provides support from the very beginning, when first starting the course, to signing with an agency and even beyond that – the Mode Elle Staff are always there to answer my questions, provide opinions, and make suggestions to help me improve while I make the most of my experiences with Mode Elle! I continue to learn new things, meet new people, and I have lots of fun doing it! All while working towards my goal of becoming the best that I can be, both personally and professionally! I am thankful that Mode Elle is with me every step of the way!”

Kendra Sweet
“Since taking the course at Mode Elle, my friends and family have told me that I seem much less shy and have a greatly improved self-esteem. I used to be incredibly shy and thought very little of myself but after taking the course, I was able to see myself in a different light and appreciate what I have and what I don’t – both physically and personality-wise. Being involved with Mode Elle has been wonderful and I have found some great friends and have had incredible opportunities made available to me that I would never have thought possible! I hope to have continuing involvement with Mode Elle for years to come!”

Deneen Amarante / Mother of Francesca & Sophia Amarante

Michele Moore / Mother of Jade & Colin Moore
“Mode Elle has given both Colin & Jade an experience that was not found in hockey or dance. They have been able to explore themselves as well as to find courage and perform at their best. They work very hard at being the best they can be and they love the challenge!

Emma Lewis
“I can’t thank the staff at Mode Elle enough for the amount of time and support they put into making the models, actors, graduates & students look and feel fabulous!

Genevieve Landry / Excerpt from a letter dated January 13th, 2009
“I just wanted to put into words a big thank you for the opportunities that you have given me. The Professional Modelling, Acting & Image / Self-Enhancement Course has given me the chance to look at myself and to venture out of my comfort zone. Achieving this has given me more confidence and has let me try things that I may have not been 100% sure I would do well at. It has been a great opportunity, one that I greatly appreciate. The instructors that I had for the duration of my course were excellent teachers and mentors…. One thing that I must underline is that your cast of teachers is wonderful. There is nothing like learning from a group of skilled, happy people who enjoy what they do and share that confidence and strength with their students! I enjoyed the course and all I learned from it and at the same time, I got a great deal of joy watching my fellow students, some of whom, very timid, young and uncertain, tackle challenges, develop great confidence and blossom… Though my course at Mode Elle is over, I am hoping that is not all over! I am looking forward to trying new things and new experiences through Mode Elle. Audra & Amie, you are both extremely patient and dedicated ladies… I have nothing but positive feedback and experiences throughout the course and dealing with everyone at Mode Elle!”

Wendy Fleguel / Mother of Rebecca Fleguel
"Since getting started with Mode Elle, Rebecca has learned so much and everyone is noticing a difference! At her Grade 8 Graduation, there was a marked difference between her and the other girls as they walked onstage. Several people have remarked that she seems to have more poise and confidence. Thank you and your staff for sharing your knowledge and expertise.”

Lyndsay Jensen / Excerpt from a letter
"Thank you for believing in me and seeing that I had potential to really succeed in this industry. Without you, my dream may only have been that – a dream! Mode Elle has helped me realize that anything is possible! Thank you for your guidance!!”

Lesleigh Pullman / Excerpt from a letter dated April 22nd, 2006
"I just wanted to write a quick note to you to tell you how thankful I am for everything you have done for me. I have learned and experienced so many wonderful things through Mode Elle. I have gained self-confidence and self-worth from my modelling career. I also believe that this has taught me patience and understanding, and I am a better person because of it. Thank you for taking a chance on me, encouraging me when I was discouraged and most of all, for believing in me. This has been an experience of a lifetime and I owe it all to the two of you!”

Carolyn Clark / Excerpt from a letter
"I just wanted to say thank you for all of the opportunities you have given me. Since starting with Mode Elle, I have realized just how hard you and Amie work and as a Mode Elle Model, thank you so much for all of the effort you have both put into me and my future! Thank you so much for everything!!”

Carley Hamilton / Excerpt from a letter
"I just wanted to send a special thanks to the both of you for all of the hard work and commitment that you have put into me and my modelling career in order to ensure my success. It is highly appreciated because if I did not come across Mode Elle, then I highly doubt I would be where I am today. I am so happy that I have been blessed with the chance to travel the world. The whole thing is most impressive and quite remarkable. Thank you for inspiring me and giving such wonderful opportunities to all of these beautiful people, including myself!”

Tammy Jeffs / Excerpt from a letter dated March 1st, 1999
Tammy was involved with Mode Elle back in 1992...
“Wow! This one has been a long time in the works! So many times I have planned to stop by or write and never managed to actually accomplish that! … I had to let you know however, that I think of you often and greatly appreciate all of the hard work, time, caring and patience that you dedicated to me. Be reassured that the knowledge of the skills and lessons you teach are used and appreciated everyday and that your students look back upon their time at Mode Elle with great fondness and hold their educator in the highest esteem. In life there are only a few people who hold the ability to motivate and influence those they come into contact with. You have given and continue to give so much hope for dreams previously unimagined and the tools to achieve those dreams!” (Hometown: Stirling, ON ~ graduated with Honours in Civil Engineering from Ryerson in 1998, now working for Can Nuke Technologies, Nuclear Engineering, Pickering).

Karen Gillick / Mother of Brad & Shayne / Excerpt from a letter
"To Audra, Amie & Mode Elle Staff: We would just like to take a moment and let you know how important Mode Elle has been to us. Our involvement with this company has been more than interesting! It has been a positive experience from the start. Both myself, Brad & Shayne would like to first thank all of you. Your positive attitudes and professional ways have been well appreciated. Whenever we have a problem or a question, the staff, no matter who it is, is always willing to help or find us the help we need. Being a part of Mode Elle has been positive aspect in our lives. It has taught us to be patient and work together. It is something that we can share as a family and a positive part of our lives that we can put in our family memories. The boys have learnt to appreciate what opportunities are ahead of them and if they put themselves out there, the outcome will be only what they make of it. They have learnt so many things from the classes; from self image to wardrobe, to acting, to being themselves, these are all things that they will need in life, not just the modelling or acting world. Even if they don't become big stars or land that utmost important commercial, they have learnt to like themselves, be confident and work hard for what you want in life. In the past we have put a lot of money into hockey, sports and have always told the boys to be happy, have fun and like yourself first for who you are, not what people want you to be. Mode Elle has taught us that."
