Top Model SA to culminate at Carnival City

The highly anticipated grand finale of Top Model South Africa (TMSA), the premier model search in the country, will be hosted in Carnival City’s Big Top Arena on February 18.

TMSA is by far the most prestigious platform for new models to be discovered in South Africa.

According to Michelle Smith, the marketing manager at Carnival City, the grand finale promises loads of glitz and glamour.

The production is being managed by respected producer/choreographer Willie Venter, and will showcase designs by fashion designers, Sun Goddess, Gerry Elsdon, Matte Nolim, Gerrit Pienaar, Michael Ferguson and Gina Maxine.

Suzette Marais, CEO of Top Model South Africa, said that apart from the opportunity to be spotted and signed by various top agencies locally and internationally, the winners (one male and one female) will also compete in London for the international title, Top Model Worldwide.

The latter immediately elevates Top Model South Africa to a global platform.

Last year’s female winner, Anri Pretorius, went on to win Top Model Worldwide, and this subsequently catapulted her into becoming an international model.

She has since signed with Boss Models in South Africa and Base Models in London, and has featured in many prestigious modelling gigs around the globe.

The latter includes walking in one of the most celebrated fashion events in the world, London Fashion Week.

Last year’s male winner, Evan van Soest, has signed with Ice Models in South Africa, LST Models in the UK, as well as Base Models in the UK.

One of Evan’s latest accolades includes a major editorial spread for Maxim Magazine.
