It
was hot couture at the reflecting pool on the grounds of the glamorous and
ultra-exclusive Regent Palms Resort on Providenciales over the weekend.
Saturday, March 30th featured Couture @ Regent Palms Resort Spa, an event that was alive with couture fashion, fierce music and all
things extraordinary as the 10 Contestants vying for the Turks & Caicos
preeminent and only coveted title made their official debut to the media, proud
partners and specially invited guests!
Couture @ Regent Palms Resort Spa, ‘a day where beauty is personified’ – was
not only heavily anticipated, but a fabulous and fashionable launch event
drawing a well-dressed and well turned out crowd for the early afternoon
fashion parade!
Wearing chic styles, bright colours, spring
florals, tweed blazers and silk chiffon garments that were worn with statement
accessories - the audience were in awe as each contestant took her turn
strutting down and around the reflecting pool, pivoting and posing with male
models who were object-d’art. The air was electric. There were thunderous
rounds of applause. Guests commented that the affair debuting the 10 young
ladies proved to be thoroughly exciting, one in which they have never seen.
Attendees remarked how strong and confident
each girl was. They were impressed with their pedigree, noting that competition
was indeed stiff, as it appeared each girl wanted the TCI Top Model title – and
showed it through her performance.
“I was mesmerized from the moment the girls
took to the staging area! I couldn’t take my eyes off them. Their utter beauty;
the self-confidence and sophistication at which these young ladies displayed; I
was totally transported to Paris, France,” said Ora Hazenfratz, a
Hungarian fashion photographer that’s based in New York. “Their presentation
was that of any top model working today. These young ladies are unique in every
sense of the word and performed with great élan. I cannot wait for the main
event; I’m sure many will get signed and the event will be an overwhelming
success!”
The event also featured Bougainvillea
Designs by Stephanie D. of The Flower Girl. Not entirely new to the
fashion trade, Mrs Stephanie Duncanson is making her forway in couture wedding
gowns. She produced her first piece, a silk voile gown with hand painted
bougainvillea that was modeled by Washanda Registre, TCI Top Model 2012.
