2018 FACE OF ASIA-PACIFIC MODEL SEARCH - The Search of the Next Celebrity Supermodel
The time has come, to embark on a quest in search for the next face of Asia…
When Chia organised the Ford Supermodel of the World Model Search in 2009, her vision was to create a platform for the next generation of models to learn and gain exposure, locally and internationally. In 2010, she started Amber Chia Academy, which has graduated over 2,000 students to date.
In 2011 she envisioned a new kind of model search in conjunction with the Korea Model Association to help propel young models to the global stage, the “Asia New Face Model Search”, which seeks models that not only have the potential to be the next fashion icon, but the next celebrity star.
Over the past 8 years, this model search competition has grown to over 30 countries in Asia. For the first time, we will be organising a regional finals called “Face Of Asia-Pacific” in 2018 which includes models from Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
In 2019, we expect to extend to Australia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Cambodia and Philippines as well. In 2018, the Face of Asia-Pacific model search aims to look for the next face of Asia that embodies not just the qualities to be a supermodel, but possesses the talent and passion to be in the entertainment spotlight as well.
In today’s digital age, the contestants must also be able to kick up a storm on social media networks, as well as possessing the natural flair to own the centre of attraction at public events.
The live auditions to select the finalists for Malaysia took place on 1st of April at Amber Chia Academy, with over 300 registrations.
