St. Martin/St. Maarten Fashion Week comes as an extension to the model competition. Fashion Week provides designers with an avenue where the key players of the industry can meet.  Enjoy the work of local designers of clothing, shoes, jewellery, handbags and sunglasses.

The event will be broadcasted as a two-hour television program on CaribVision and RFO Satellite. World-renowned fashion guru Travis Winkey is producer, director and choreographer of the event. Not a beauty contest, Miss Model International is a very distinct modeling pageant. Introduced in 1990, the annual pageant is held alternatively on St. Maarten and Martinique.  The competition tests the modeling competence of the models, as a culture of fashion.

More than 50 models, each representing their country of origin, are expected to participate. As seen in past Out N About issues, the girls of Miss Model 2010 are as beautiful as they are talented. Working with local designers, models will present original pieces for the “the future shock” segment. Other segments include a group presentation, future shock, swimwear and evening gown.

The Soualiga Fashion Award will be given to the most outstanding designer and to the best model.

St. Maarten Fashion Week runs from July 5 to 9. Miss Model International takes place at the Festival Village on July 10 at 8:00pm. Tickets are US$25 each. Visit www.sxmfashionweek.org
