Christie Brinkley

Having resigned from her job as an executive at Ford Models, Cathy Quinn has set up a new modelling agency. Following her move, models Rachel Hunter and Christie Brinkley, and actress Kelly Rutherford will join Quinn at her new shop, Cathy Quinn Models.

"I had a wonderful career there," Quinn speaks of her previous position, "but changes at Ford put a fire under me to make a decision. The last couple of years weren't quite what I wanted, so this gives me the chance to do my own thing. I'm thrilled." In more departures for Ford, Caroline Poznanski, former head of the women's agency division recently resigned, along with a number of agents.
