Fourteen ambitious young models were introduced in the premiere episode of Asia’s Next Top Model (AsNTM) on Star World and Star World HD (Astro Channel 711 & 722) last night. Hailing from all over Asia, including Malaysia, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Thailand, Philippines, Indonesia, and Singapore, this year also sees the first competitors from Mongolia and Myanmar.
Stylishly celebrating its premiere, FOX Networks Groups (FNG) hosted an exclusive screening party on Tuesday night. Malaysia’s very own sole representative this season, Tuti, took to the runway for the Zalora fashion show while the evening ended on a high note with the preview of the series’ first episode. Much to the delight of guests and fans alike, the stylish Kelly Tandiono, model mentor of the show was also present at the party.
Asia’s Next Top Model Cycle 4 promises to be the fiercest competition yet with a whole new panel of celebrity judges. The aspiring models will have a wealth of input from Cindy Bishop, the versatile and talented host of AsNTM, Kelly Tandiono, the accomplished model mentor of the show, and Yu Tsai, famed fashion photographer and Creative Director. The three celebrity judges will be joined by a roster of renowned guest judges throughout the season, all of whom promise to put the girls through the paces.
Malaysia is solely represented by the very edgy Nuraini Noor aka Tuti. Tuti was the winner of X Top Model Search Malaysia 2012 and X Walk. I thought she performed quite well during the competitions in the premiere episode and hopefully she will be among the top 3 finalists.
Partnering with Subaru, TRESemmé, Closeup, Zalora and Maybelline, ‘transformation’ is at the centre this thrilling season. Fans will get to know the contestants better than ever, through the exciting weekly episodes as well as plenty of additional social and online content. The winner of AsNTM S4 will drive home the all-new Subaru XV as well as become the 2016 face of TRESemmé. She will also have a huge fashion spread and grace the cover of Harper’s BAZAAR Singapore, and jet off to Europe to be represented by one of the world’s most prestigious modelling agencies – Storm Model Management.
Catch Asia’s Next Top Model Season 4 on Star World and Star World HD (ASTRO Channel 711 & 722) every Wednesday at 9pm.
