On December 1, 2018 the third annual grand finale was held at the Fairmont Hotel in Dallas Texas, U.S.A. Models from all across the globe came to participate. The competition was extremely tough as only the Top 5 from each nation was availed the once-in-a-lifetime platinum opportunity to compete at the Miss Fashion Week Universe platform.
Pioneered by the visionary Vera Wang – Miss Fashion Week has established an unmatched modeling & pageant platform with one resounding message for women – YOU ARE ENOUGH.
The preliminary competition kicked off with an editorial photo-shoot where each model had 60 seconds in front of the camera to demonstrate their posing prowess. A high-profile professional photographer – Luis Gomez from Universe 137 Studios – judged this round while the models performed autonomously with no direction provided to them – a test of pure talent.
The grand finale stage was an opulent spectacle, blazing with intricate lights, special effects and tasteful music while the spectators poured in large numbers. Thanks to the Moderne Events led by Rene Rodriguez. A panel of 7 judges from diverse backgrounds, each polished and at the top of their individual professions were set to crown 6 categories: junior, teen, petite, runway, plus, international and the ultimate titleholder Miss Fashion Week Universe 2019.
Ella Jayde – a joyful 11-year-old from Sydney, Australia won Miss Junior Fashion Week 2019. Dressed in a gorgeous red high-low gown and supported by her devoted mother.
Jacquelyn Watts from Whitsunday Islands is a professional dancer who went above and beyond to win a perfect score in editorial photo-shoot and outperformed other contestants in every round. Jacquelyn walked away with proud parents and the title of Miss Teen Fashion Week 2019.
The adult category competed in 3 sections: model black wear, swimsuit or activewear (runway walk) and evening wear (pageant walk). The Category winners qualified for the final round of competition-an unseen question asked on-stage; A challenge that requires confidence, public speaking skills, the ability to think on your feet and articulate your thoughts within a time constraint.
