The top model challenge had two rounds. In the first round I wore a beautiful white outfit.

In the second round I wore a custom designer dress designed by Sam Dolce and made by Kerstin Faust. Focusing on the style and fashion of the Art Deco era of the 1920s and 30s, with an emphasis on voluptuous curves that exalt femininity. Given the historical context of the discovery of Tutankhamen’s Tomb in 1922 exposing the sarcophagus and his royal garments embroidered with gold sequins, made from gold and amalgamations of other precious metals, had regal status exuding in opulence. Though modern sequins serve a purely decorative purpose, they have been sewed onto the dress, draped in a crisscross pattern to extenuate feminine shape and curves, while simultaneously elongating the body. Taking inspiration as well from magnificent Victorian era robes, that themselves experienced a revival in the 1920s, coinciding with the discovery of Tutankhamen’s tomb. Egyptian style inextricably includes dark hair, red lips, and black eyeliner, modeled on the hugely charming iconic Egyptian Queen Nefertiti, whose name translates as "The Beauty Who Came."

I'm grateful that I managed to place in the TOP13 on the competition night. It was a beautiful day and a breathtaking atmosphere. All the girls looked exclusive.
