Montreal It girl: Karine Pronovost
Editor: Sarah Casselman
Whether she’s updating fashion portfolios, brunching with photographer friends or logging some workout time (this lady likes to box), Karine Pronovost always has her glam face on. But despite her chiselled cheekbones, lithe form and killer sense of style, this 34-year-old Haitian-born beauty prefers to stay behind the scenes. As an artist booker at Folio, a Montreal-based agency that represents top models, stylists, and hair and makeup artists, she coordinates the talent’s day-to-day on-set schedules. Her nine-to-five working-girl staples include menswear-inspired trousers, basic tees and haute heels, all of which transition effortlessly from day to night. Labels like Denis Gagnon, Duy, Travis Taddeo and Barilà add local flavour to her eclectic wardrobe. But her one true amore is vintage jewellery. “I look for rings and necklaces from the 1930s to the 1960s,” she says. “I like wearing pieces that have a story.”
