Hi Huneybees,
Last weekend, we saw the unveiling of the winner of the Cleo Runway Search 2012 at the Audi Fashion Festival. Alongside professional models and Cleo Bachelor hunks, the finalists did a show-off for the ultimate win of one-year modeling contract with Carrie Models, $1,000 worth of products from Levi's, $1,000 cash prize and a six-page fashion spread in CLEO.
There was an island-wide search for the next runway star aims to promote local talent in search for a fashion-forward girl who possesses the looks, personality and tenacity to be a top-model and CLEO provides young women with a platform to showcase their talent and personality. At the same time, reinforcing the importance of self-confidence and a healthy body image.
“CLEO wants to challenge all the young women in Singapore to do extraordinary things. We’re encouraged by the immense response we’ve had for the casting event as well as the talent we’ve found this year, and we’re confident you’ll be seeing a lot more of them after the CLEO Runway Search,” said Cheong Kamei, Editor of CLEO Singapore.
Thanks to Cleo, I had the opportunity to run backstage and check out how a runway show is prepared. There was a lot of rushing around, but not till the state of chaos. Covering the whole backstage, I learnt a few tricks myself... :)

AHH!!! My idol, Sheila Sim. She's so friendly and approachable! Always loved her style and her super versatility to try out so many different looks.
