To paint you an overall picture…..Catwalk Studios is a Modelling and Fashion Retail training facility, for the past seven years we have groomed, develop and prepared new faces to enter the modelling industry , placing models with all the top modelling agents who some have gone on to become international models: Grace Hollows Red 11, Ashika Pratt NOVA Derya 62 Models and Maxence from Clyne. and Shannon Ryan off C4. Catwalk Studios provids a freelance modeling service hosted on the CWS website Industry Alerts, posting modelling jobs and auditions for charity fashion shows to hair modelling events, the model is booked and managed directly by the client.
For the past year following my travel to New York and photographing four seasons at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week I acknowledged the disparities in fashion retail customer service, At home here I believed it was good timing with the recession to provide an avenue to up skill and improve Customer service in fashion retail in New Zealand, obtaining GATEWAY funding through Aucklands secondary schools to facilitate this, Catwalk Studios is now working toward aquiring NZQA crediting to support student learning to improve on the ‘fashion’ retail sector. Until now there is no standard for entry in the Fashion Apparel Industry. Catwalk Studios requires the ongoing support of the Retailers, Designers and stylists to offer work experience to expose fashion career pathways.
