TCI Top Model Winners to Rock the Runway at New York Fashion Week

Four fashion models from the Turks & Caicos Islands are in the Big Apple this week for New York Fashion Week! The models, Felicia Williams, Stacie-Ann Thomas, Breanna Johnson and Nikeira Stuart - are set to rock the runways of many an established and up-and-coming fashion designer.

New York Fashion Week kicks of fashion show season for fashion capitals around the globe. Today, Thursday September 5th is the official start to fashion week where the Spring/Summer 2014 collections of many New York based and international well-known and emerging fashion designer brands will be presented to world. The models will not only have an opportunity to walk, but also network, meet with industry veterans, editors, retailers, buyers, photographers and the media. What is more, the exposure gained from photos published owing to shows walked in will be tremendous, as the editorial gleaned will put their stamp on New York Fashion Week.

Whilst in New York, the models also have scheduled appointments with 12 of the City's most prestigious modeling agencies, five of which have attended the TCI Top Model Contest – already expressing a great interest in them.

"Having an opportunity to travel to New York to begin a modeling career is huge for a new model anywhere. Being able to walk during fashion week is a momentous start – one that is not missed on anyone,” said Mr. Courtney Robinson, Director of Production for the TCI Top Model Contest & Fashion Extravaganza. “To have that many agencies looking to meet with a model during one of the busiest times of the fashion calendar is huge; but even more so, the potential that a girl may get signed and represented by one of the World's leading modeling agencies – enormous!"



New York is the epicenter of high fashion, editorial and commercial modeling; a model starting their career there will have many doors open to the world of fashion, beauty and merchandising. To this effect, Felicia, Stacie-Ann, Breanna and Nikeira are going to be exposed to the best in the business, but also a chance to promote themselves to markets such as London, Paris, Milan, South Africa, Japan, Central and South America.

To this end, The TCI Top Model Contest & Fashion Extravaganza Organising Committee, its partners and supporters, wish the models success on their path to becoming an international Top Model in the fashion modeling industry. It is also with hope, that they become one of those positive role models to persons in the Turks and Caicos looking to break in the industry, and by in large, help put the Turks & Caicos Islands on the fashion map.
