Noot Seear

Noot Seear grew up in Vancouver and was discovered at the age of 13. A year later she had sky rocketed to the top of the modeling industry in New York, opening the Calvin Klein Show that September and earning a record number of campaigns in her first year. Now 22, Noot is an established icon of the fashion world, having worked for almost every design house in New York, Paris and Milan. She keeps apartments in New York and Paris and moves between the two, with occasional quick trips back to Vancouver. Noot is the chairperson for Rose Charities New York and has been very involved in raising money and awareness for children in the developing world. In July of 2005 Noot hosted a high profile fundraiser in New York City at Milk Galleries raising over $50,000 for child survivors of the tsunami in Sri Lanka.

Aside from her work as a fundraiser and model, she is designing a line of clothing with good friend and model Erin Wasson, and she has begun an acting career. Despite her glamorous lifestyle, Noot has always been known for being down-to-earth and ready for any kind of adventure, whether it's sky-diving, surfing, scuba diving or show jumping. When in the city, she spends her spare time playing chess in parks and competing in speed chess tournaments. She has an extraordinary range of friends from young artists and musicians to the rich and famous.
