LG Fashion Week F/W 2010!

With Paris F/W done, it's soon time for Toronto to shine its fashion beacon to the world! Canada's best and brightest design talent will be showcasing their lines at the newly opened Allstream Centre--a beautiful art deco building which used to house an automotive plant. The Fashion Design Council of Canada has promised this year's fashion week to be bigger and better than ever before. For more information, check out LG fashion Week's official website!

Craig H. for Bell Canada!

Keep an eye for this model-slash-everything: actor, filmmaker, parkour extraordinaire, you name it! You may have noticed these Bell ads all around Toronto lately. Mark my words, bigger things are coming for this one...

Casting Factory Does Calvin Klein Underwear @ Cheval!

We had the pleasure of participating in a live photoshoot at Cheval over Valentine's Day weekend. The event was a huge success to say the least, and the team involved with the shoot couldn't have been any more amazing. Thanks to Jesse, Cassandra, Amanda, and Lacey for working it in front of the camera; and Veronica and Natalie for making everything run smoothly! This is just a behind-the-scenes taste of the shoot. Check back later for the finished product!

CF and Paul Frank @ Sears!

Paul Frank is back and better than ever, and Casting Factory was ecstatic to be a part of the brand's relaunch at Sears @ Toronto Eaton Center this past weekend. According to Rachel Goossen, Visual Merchandising Manager, our monkey-suit guy (Julius, to hardcore Paul Frank fans) "had kids, adults...everyone engaged...his attitude was fun and infectious...he was the perfect person for the job." A big thanks to Rachel for allowing CF to take part at this awesome event! And a big shout out to Adrian who toughed it out in the monkey suit and Kris, his handler!

Ariana is Urban Male Magazine's Girl Next Door!

Be sure to check out CF's own Ariana, in UMM's Spring 2010 Edition out in March! The article sheds light on what a hard worker Ariana is, as well as her ability to excel at a multitude of talents--but we here already knew that! One thing we didn't know: the girl kinda loves mustard!

To read the full article, or if you just want to admire Ariana in glorious high-resolution, just click on the pic...

Congrats to Travis for Booking Bud Camp!

Keep an eye out for the print ad, which shoots today! If the above shot is any indication, this shoot should be a blast! Good work, Travis!

Casting Factory's Ariana: Feature Lead in Jazzy B's Music Video!

Check out Ariana in 'Gaddi' by Jazzy B! For those that don't know, Jazzy B. transformed the landscape of Bhangra music and has been on top of India's music charts for almost twenty years. We here, at Casting Factory, think she looks stunning as shown by the screenshots above. But if there's anything you should know about her, it's that no one messes with Ariana--not even Jazzy B! Check out the music video in full here!

Happy New Year from Casting Factory!
