Lagos agog for Aquafina Elite Model Look show
All roads lead to Eko Hotels and Suites,
Victoria Island, Lagos today for this year’s edition of Aquafina Elite
Model Look Nigeria.
The theme for this year’s competition is
‘Africa Rising: Haute Couture’ and the aim is to showcase the potential
of haute couture in Africa to the world, through fashion pieces and
catwalks.
In the last 10 years, Aquafina Elite
Model Look Nigeria has played an immense role in placing the African
modeling industry on the global map. Therefore, celebrating
its 10th anniversary today, the focus is not only to impact lives
through modeling but also to promote a new generation of great African
youths.
“Aquafina Elite Model Look Nigeria is
unique in the sense that it provides the opportunity for young girls to
enter the fashion world, become models and make fabulous careers,” the
organiser says.
The internationally recognised competition has discovered
supermodels such as Cindy Crawford, Gisele Bundchen, Alessandra Ambrosio
including Nigerian supermodels like Chika Emmanuella, Mayowa Nicholas,
Victor Ndigwe and recently Davidson Obennebo, who was the first African
to win the world finale in the last 33 years.
The platform has given these models the
opportunity to walk the runways of top international brands like
Versace, Tommy Hilfiger, Dolce & Gabbana, H&M as well as feature
in major campaigns for Hermes, Chanel, Balmain, Calvin Klein and many
more.
