Top Austin Model Showcase Event

Last Sunday night the 15 semifinalists of the Top Austin Model competition strutted their stuff on the runway at Qua Lounge (yes that's the club with the sharks in the floor).  Not only was I there to see if the models have what it takes to be named Top Austin Model, but I was also there to view the local fashion designs by designers Meling Chang and Jena Randall.

I thought the models all did really well, especially considering most of these girls are inexperienced at modeling.  However, there were a couple of girls that stood out to me above the rest.  I've been to a ton of fashion shows here in Austin and I not only try and get good runway photos, but I also try and get a good look at the clothes.  I've definitely had some complaints about models in shows before.

Here are some things that will make you stand out as a good model:

Top Austin Model Showcase Event

The top 15 models have been chosen from the first round of the Top Austin Model competition, and they are getting ready to move on to the second round.  This Sunday the chosen top 15 models will walk it out at the Showcase Event at QUA Lounge where judges will then choose 10 girls to move forward to the next round.  The fashion show will feature looks by local designers Meiling Chang and Jena Randall, plus body art by Beauty on the Go and Ivy Kim.

Check out this behind the scenes video from the competition's photo shoots and get a look at some of the models you will see compete in the show this Sunday:

Top Austin Model

Attention all local models!  Ready for some competition?  Top Austin Model is a multistage competition for Austin-based models featuring all LOCAL talent.   Doesn't the sound of this event along with this poster, make you think about America's Next Top Model?  Well then consider local model Brianna Fleet (the gal in this poster who put all this together) to be the Tyra Banks of Austin.
