The event,
themed ‘A Dolls World @ The Regent Palms Resort Spa - saw appearances
by Samentha Etienne, TCI Top Model 2013; a parade of fashions offered at the Regent
Palms Resort worn by Turks & Caicos models that have rocked the catwalks in
Los Angeles, New York and London; and Junior Models donned in pristine white,
strutting their stuff! There was also a special vocal performance by fashion
designer and singer Jermell Williams who kept the audience rapt attention to the catchy song by Sam Smith - ‘Money on my mind’. Guests were not only treated to a
fabulous event, but they each received a Lancaster gift bag with products courtesy of the resort.
Wearing daring
styles, bright colours, graphic prints, knee-highs, leggings and stilettos
courtesy of Shoe Gallery; the fashions complemented the hair and dramatic
make-up splendidly. The audience was in awe as each contestant took her turn
strutting around the reflecting pool, pivoting and posing to thunderous rounds
of applause. Guests commented that the affair debuting the nine 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
presentation, noting that competition was indeed stiff, as it appeared each
girl wanted the TCI Top Model title – and showed it through her
performance.
“The
presentation of the contestants was very bold and unexpected. I have only ever
seen anything such as it on America’s Next Top Model. The wardrobe, hair, make
up and those fierce, fun and daring eyelashes – I was completely blown away”,
said Dee Barker, Sales Executive at Sotheby’s International Realty.
“I couldn’t take my eyes off the ‘Digital Dolls’ as they passed. They were
utterly unique; the poise and style at which these young ladies displayed; I
was totally transported to somewhere otherworldly. Milan, Italy perhaps... This
surpassed my expectation of what a ‘doll’ would look like or a how concept is
translated to fashion. Well done to the team behind the production. If the
launch was any indication of what the main event will be like, well, I just
cannot wait to see the show.”
The names of
the young ladies vying for this country’s only coveted title are as follows:
1. Je’Cannya Garland
2. Wilange Charles
3. J’Keyah Jolly
4. Lamia Brown
5. Nathanelle Louis
6. Stephanie Sejour
7. Kameia Outten
8. Felicia Williams
9. Brielle Swann
