Audrey Quock

Biography

Born in the bustling Chinatown of New York, New York, Audrey Quock is of Chinese descent and has two sisters and one brother. Her childhood could be considered relatively normal, until she sprouted as a teenager and became a towering beauty. On a dare as a 5'10" 16-year-old, she entered a modeling contest and, although she did not win, a scout recognized her beauty and introduced her to the New York fashion scene. Before she landed any real exposure, Quock studied at F.I.T., the Fashion Institute of Technology, in New York. She concentrated on fashion design and soon knew the ins and outs of the industry. These studies certainly helped ease a young Quock into the crazy fashion world. Quickly, Quock found a niche in modeling. She was one of the few Asian models who was tall enough to walk the runways and easily fit in with the other models. Small jobs for local designers soon translated into widespread recognition and Quock found herself bombarded with modeling contracts. She graced many print ads with her presence, including ones for Diesel, Banana Republic and DKNY. Soon, offers from the likes of Elle, Cosmopolitan, Glamour, Allure and GQ became regular occurences. Thanks to her frenetic work, Quock could soon boast being in magazine ads and articles at the same time.
