IN a night of glamour, Lagos stood still as celebrities and fashionistas thronged the Grand Ball room Oriental Hotel on Victoria Island, Lagos where Aquafina Elite Model Look Nigeria 2016 contest held last weekend
After the Meet The Contestants which was the first appearance, the 20 finalists consisting of 10 males and 10 females, had an opportunity to showcase all they have been taught in the Boot Camp by modeling Kamsi Tcharles’ casual wear made up of a combination of Ankara and Batik in the first passage.
They later appeared in other designs: swim suits, evening wears, corporate wears, designer glasses and more. The contestants were pruned down to five each after the fourth passage: Ayeni, Ceejay, Chidera, Collins, and Davidson (male); Amarachi, Oma, Ruth, Omoh and Titi (female).
From the first passage, Davidson showed lots of gait and comportment and was clearly heads and shoulders above the rest. The ladies contest was not different as all the 10 contestants tried to outdo one another.
At the end, the Head of Marketing Seven-Up Bottling Company Plc, Mr. Norden Thurston announced Davidson and Omoh winners in the male and female categories respectively based on the scoring of the Judges made up of Richard Mofe Damijo, Bola Balogun, Funke Babs Kuforiji and Norden Thurston.
