In its attempts to boost, formalise and raise the profile of Sri Lankan modelling industry, Runway Super Model competition is one of the pioneers.

An island-wide hunt is on for fresh faces who would be groomed and trained as models that would walk the catwalk for Asia Super Model 2014 held in China.

The first round of casting interviews for models and intern designers was held on May 10 at Colombo Courtyard. Candidates faced two qualified panels of Judges.

Model interviews were conducted by National Director for 9th Asia Super Model Contest Jayantha Wedasighe, Actor Hiran Yattowita and Ms. Amanda de Silva, one of the Sri Lankan top models who has won International awards representing the country in many international pageants.

Designer Judging Panel consisted of Raffealla Fernando, awards winning designer and Dulanjali Galahitiyawa, Managing Director of International clothing brand “South Wind by DYPK”.

Out of the candidates there were nine models and six designers selected from the 1st round interviews and the second segment interviews will be conducted on May 24 at Jack Tree, Thai cuisine at Colombo 5.

“Still there is an opportunity for designers and models to join the Runway Supermodel Top 12 cast.

I would like to invite the models, not only those already in the field but also young amateurs who have the interest and enthusiasm,” said project chairmen Bhagya Egodage.

The Organising committee opens its doors for the final call of applications for designers and amateur / professional models to apply for the Runway Supermodel contest.
