MBOMBELA - Seven local models are making a name for themselves overseas. They were all included in the American modelling magazine Brand Model.

“There is a worldwide competition every month to be included in the magazine. Every one of these models was chosen from about 300 entries every month,” Master Models’ Candice Paterson explained.

Paterson enters their photos into the competition and has been doing so since December.

We were really surprised and excited when they picked one of our models for the first time, she said.

Paterson added that recognition on an international platform is very important for the models.
