So, how do models get chosen to walk in shows? If you’re a model aspiring to walk in New Zealand fashion week, your agency will attend the model casting about 3 weeks prior to NZ Fashion Week and designers can choose models to suit their individual shows as the men and women walk in front of the selection panel. The 2015 model casting was held today, 8th August, at Aotea Centre, and Anupam Singh of Annupam Photography attended for Thread.co.nz to shoot a documentary-style series to show you what it’s all about.
This year’s casting will feature internationally successful Kiwi model Ashleigh Good, who has walked for a number of the world’s biggest fashion labels including Chanel. Good is famous for featuring in Chanel’s 2014 Fall Haute Couture collection, walking the catwalk while holding Karl Lagerfeld‘s hand and wearing a stunning wedding dress, while 6 months pregnant.
On the casting schedule this year are models from 62 Models, Kirsty Bunny, Joyce Models, Unique Models, Vanity Walk, Blondie, Bintang, Monarch, Clyne Models, RPD Models, Ali McD, Ink, Miromoda, Voda and Red 11.
