PROVIDENCIALES, Turks and Caicos Islands;–
After an extensive
search covering the length and breathe of the Turks& Caicos Islands, training workshops are
to commence this week for the selected few, where one young lady will emerge
the new Face ofthe Turks & Caicos, TCI Top Model 2013.
Over the last two weeks, organizers of
the 2013 TCI
Top Model Contest & Fashion Extravaganza hosted
contestants, models and fashion designers searches in both the nation’s
capital, Grand Turk and Providenciales. The searches unearth an impressive
array of beautiful young ladies and equally attractive males, along with a
jewelry design team excitedly waiting to showcase to the world what they have
on offer.

“All
the models were desirous for this opportunity of a lifetime, a chance to walk
in the most heavily anticipated event that kick-starts show season and to meet
with fashion modeling agencies from New York, the door that truly opens them to
the fashion world. We saw not only persons who were taller, sleeker and
fitter, but also knowledgeable about this creative industry. Importantly, they
were keen to get started,” said Robinson.
The Search saw the application of
jewelry design team Pyro, which
are looking to become one of the leading accessory providers in the Turks and
Caicos. The Pyro
team comes out of the Youth Entrepreneurship Programme and TCI Top Model
Organizers are always excited to work with the youth in our community.
“These
young persons wowed us with their craftsmanship, creativity, style and
presentation,” said Michelle Swann, Head of Fashion and Personal
Development. “We were thoroughly impressed and will be working diligently with
them arm-in-arm to assist with their design elements, promotions and marketing
collateral through the TCI Top Model Contest events.”
In
the run up to the event, all talent will attend workshops on ‘the fashion
industry,’ ‘personality & self-esteem,’ ‘presentation skills,’ ‘networking
& interviewing skills,’ ‘branding & being a spokesperson,’ ‘fitness
& healthy eating,’ ‘life in the media’ and ‘being an ambassador.’ This,
along with runway training and doing photo-shoots.

The workshops are fundamentally
important, as it will give these young persons the tools they will need for this
industry and meeting new people who can, and will make a difference in their
lives. This training will go a long way whether they stay in fashion or
wherever life takes them.
It is the hope of the TCI Top Model
Contest Organising Committee that those in the public rally behind this
initiative, and persons in the business community help support this most
rewarding and ambitious endeavour; as in doing so, everyone becomes apart of
helping deserving individuals realize their fashion and creative dreams.
The 2013 TCI Top Model Contest & Fashion Extravaganza will take place at The Williams
Auditorium in Provoidenciales on Saturday, May 4th, 2013.
