SUPERMODEL COCO ROCHA, DISCOVERED BY CHARLES STUART AT FACES WEST!
It all began in 1964 on Carnaby Street in London, when Charles met at a photo shoot with none other than Twiggy, the Super Model of the 60's. In the early 70's, he became a fashion buyer and then worked with a John Casablancas franchise.
In 1982, Charles decided that it was time to open an agency of his own in Vancouver, BC, Canada. The modeling industry was booming and in 1984, Charles was able to develop a network of franchises throughout Western Canada.
““What else should our lives be but a continual series of beginnings, of painful settings out into the unknown, pushing off from the edges of consciousness in to the mystery of what we have not yet become.””
SUPERMODEL COCO ROCHA AND CHARLES STUART
By 1986, the market for models in Japan, Taipei and Korea was enormous and Charles seized the market for North American models who had dreams of making money in Asia and Canada.
In 1992, Charles developed the very successful Faces West Model & Talent Convention. Agents, Scouts and managers from all over the world make Faces West an absolute must on their scouting schedules.
In 1999, Charles was elected President of the newly formed North American Modeling Association (N.A.M.A.) with members from across Canada and the U.S.A.
In 2004, Charles discovered supermodel Coco Rocha.
Coco is rated in the top five models worldwide and has appeared on the cover of every major fashion magazine.
Charles Stuart's ability to keep pace with the ever-changing modeling and talent industries has gained him the respect and support of the world's leading agencies.
