Macau to host supermodel competition

This year, the 10th Annual World Supermodel Production and International Fashion Show will be held with a “business theme” in Macau at the Macau Tower.

The event promises to showcase the latest fashion and highlighting leading designers from around the world. According to a press release issued by the World Supermodel Production, the four shows will be blended with a mixture of “innovation, glamor, and excitement” while highlighting Macau.

This year, the World Supermodel Production selected Macau as host city based on its ability to provide a location with an “elegant, sophisticated and unique lifestyle” capable of portraying an atmosphere mixed with glamor.

On May 21, between 40 to 50 of the world’s top models will head to the territory to compete for the World Supermodel and World Teen Supermodel titles.

This production will also highlight an international fashion week that will be held at the Macau Tower – showcasing designers of swimwear, sportswear and bridal wear on May 24, 25 and 26 respectively.

“Macau is known as the Las Vegas of the east to most western countries, and especially to a large percentage of Mainland Chinese,” said Herc Karakostas, Director of Locations of World Supermodel Production.

“However, we would like to showcase that Macau has other attractions outside the mainstream paradigm and demonstrate its ability to host an international event of this nature in a world class venue,” he continued.

In the past, Fiji was selected for its tropical climate, with its rainforest and crystal clear reef backdrops where international models participated in glamour photo shoots, underwater filming and tropical island location shoots.

Last year, South Africa was selected with its “On Safari” theme due to its natural wonders and wildlife.
