It Girl Tess Annique on fitness and wellness
By Claudia Gonzalez
Mega It Girl Tess Annique, is no rookie in the fashion world. After being scouted at the age of fifteen, Tess began her career at Elite Model Management landing her first gig with the well-known beauty and lifestyle brand, Cosmopolitan. Heavily involved in the fast-paced and demanding industry, Tess decided to move to New York at the age of seventeen, constantly flying in and out from Los Angeles to do photoshoots. Ambitious and highly driven with years in the fashion industry, Tess began to pursue other endeavors while adding “College Grad” to her already impressive record with a degree in Marketing and Fashion Media with a minor in Entrepreneurship.
As a seasoned veteran, Tess recalls the lifestyle of being a model before the rise of social media; having a physical portfolio book and constantly attending productions and shoots to maintain her portfolio. Having experienced the evolution of the modeling industry, Tess found it easier to transition once again with the rise of COVID as she is able to tend to her modeling career and her It Girl status on social media, from the comfort of her own home. From her home studio, Tess has been able to regain control of her image and express herself by shooting content for big name brands such as Revolve, Pretty Little Thing, Fashion Nova and multiple respected PR houses.

Tess has gone on to pose for major labels Nike and Guess and most recently walked three runway shows at Miami Swim Week and LAFW. Tess has proven her dominance on and off the runway with the rise of her social media account and online presence.

A couple years after her debut, Tess Annique decided to evaluate where she was in life, took the initiative to completely turn her life around, and began her health and wellness journey and road to sobriety. Four years later, Tess continues to thrive, having Wellness with Tess as a product of her quest for good living in fitness, food, mental health, and spirituality. Through this program, Tess can coach and empower girls by approaching and tackling topics within mental health and overall wellness: ultimately offering a hand to others who share similar experiences. Additionally, she has most recently become a certified health and wellness coach from Institute of Integrative Nutrition and certified in Plant Based Studies from Cornell. She hopes to use this platform to help other women become the best versions of themselves and help them live well. She recently got married to NHL defenseman Sheldon Souray in September 2021, where the two bonded over their sobriety.
A solidified star, Tess has proven that you can really “have it all” with hard work, dedication, and following your passion. Taking control of her image, brand and life, Tess has shaped herself into a motivational figure in the lives of other aspiring models and with her advocacy work. Understanding the mechanics of the industry, Tess will continue to merge her love of fashion, health, and social media to reach audiences all around the world. Not afraid to take on multiple projects, Tess Annique is determined to embrace the new opportunities that await in the upcoming months.
