The Taiwan division of the International Super Model Contest has revealed the winners of this year’s qualifying round. Organizers held a regional qualifier for the event on Nov. 21, which was Taiwan’s second time being the host. The models are now gearing up for the Asia Final in China’s Chengdu. FTV reporter Stephany Yang takes us in for a closer look at the event and Taiwan’s contestants.

Models strut down the runway in elegant evening gowns featuring colorful flower prints. The flowers on these dresses were crafted by designers at a French flower school in Taiwan. This is the regional final of the International Super Model Contest in Taiwan.

Claude Cossec
Flower designer
I have a flower school here in Taiwan. I teach how to make flowers. We have a chance to collaborate with the CCIFT and also with the model to create some nice flower designs, so I provide the flowers on the dress for the catwalk and the fashion show.

Today, I’m here at the event to be a judge for the competition. What we do at the chamber is also to help our members connect with other members in order to create events.

In first place for the Super Model category is Chung Chiu-yu . Lin Shih-ya took the top spot in the Fashion Model category, while Wang yu won the Male Model category. Winning the contest can give these aspiring supermodels a wide range of opportunities in the fashion industry both in Taiwan and overseas. For example, they can get signed by an international agency and participate in international fashion week shows.

International Super Model Contest
Our Taiwan champions from last year have already participated in the Chengdu Fashion Show. We are very happy because our contestants are all receiving training at the Taiwan Dream institute which is jointly established by Catwalk and Taiwan Creative Content Agency. We are very happy to see the results today. After the competition today, they will fly to Chengdu to compete in the Asian Finals.

The International Super Model Contest is in its 10th year. Every year, competitions are held in different countries including the U.S., Canada, China, Japan, Italy and Thailand. Taiwan held the regional contest for the second time this year. Models who competed in Taiwan hail from Taiwan, Indonesia, and Malaysia. Throughout the course of the competition, contestants completed a series of photo shoots around Taiwan and attended training sessions.

Shahad Huang
International Super Model Contest
We are very happy to have different models from Taiwan and Malaysia competing in Taipei this year. They are all outstanding models, and we really look forward to their performances, where they can demonstrate their conversation abilities and talents. We really look forward to their performances, and to their development as models, and their developments in acting, singing live streaming, and cheerleading. We all think they have great potential for development in all these areas.

The Italian Trade Agency Taipei director Enrico Condemi also attended the competition to support the models. He said that Taiwan and Italy have many areas of cooperation to look forward to in the fashion industry. He said there are a number of Taiwanese students studying fashion in Italy, and he also sees potential in exchanges between Taiwan and Italy on fabric design.

Enrico Condemi
Italian Trade Agency Taipei Office director
I believe that Taiwan and Italy can cooperate in the fashion field, especially by exchanging their talents. That is something that is already happening because there are a number of Taiwanese students that study fashion in Italy, Milan especially there’s a number. Florence as well. There are a number of very good fashion schools. As a matter of fact, there is a Taiwanese designer who has just been showing his creations at the Rome Fashion Week last February. I think another field, apart from talent exchange, another field where there is enough room for cooperation definitely is fabrics. Working on new textiles, non-woven. All of the textiles that are now used in sportswear, casual, and streetwear which day by day are becoming more and more part of Haute couture of fashion in the highest sense.

The finalists will now compete in the Asia Final contest in Chengdu.

"我在台灣有一所花卉學校。我們有機會與法國工商會合作,然後跟模特兒們合作創作一些花卉設計,像是走秀時,裙子上的花朵部分就是我設計的。

[[法國工商會執行長 史蒂芬]]
"我今天是擔任比賽的評審。我們在商會做的就是,幫助我們的成員與其他的成員聯繫、創建活動。"

鍾秋瑜獲得T台組女超模的冠軍。林詩雅奪得平面組女超模冠軍,王予在男模組奪冠。贏得比賽可以為這些新秀超級模特兒提供在台灣和海外時尚界發光發熱的機會。例如,他們可以與國際機構簽約並參加時裝周的走秀活動。

[[國際超模大賽國際區理事 黃予涵]]
"我們去年的台灣冠軍都已經在成都時尚秀進行展演。我們非常開心,因為我們的選手都有在跟凱渥、跟文策院共同成立的台灣夢幻學院接受培訓。我們今天很開心可以驗收成果。他們在今天比完賽就會飛往成都,去亞洲總決賽的競爭。"

今年是第10屆國際超模大賽。比賽每年在不同的國家舉行,包括美國、加拿大、中國、日本、義大利和泰國。今年,台灣第二度舉辦區域大賽。參加台灣比賽的模特兒來自台灣、印尼和馬來西亞。參賽者在台灣各地進行了一系列的拍攝,並參加培訓課程。

[[國際超模大賽國際區理事 黃予涵]]
"我們今年在台北,非常開心有來自台灣、馬來西亞不同的選手。他們非常優越的條件之外,他們的談吐,還有才藝,我們都覺得非常值得期待他們的表現,不只是未來在超模的發展,也有機會是往演藝、歌唱、還有直播平台及啦啦隊。其實我們都覺得他們有很大的發展潛力。"

義大利經濟貿易文化推廣辦事處,台北貿易組主任孔德明也出席了比賽,支持模特兒們。他表示,台灣與義大利在時尚界有很多值得期待的合作。他表示,有不少台灣學生在義大利讀時裝設計科系。他也看到台灣與義大利在服裝面料設計方面的交流潛力。

[[義大利經濟貿易文化推廣辦事處台北貿易組主任 孔德明]]
"我相信台灣和義大利可以透過人才交流,在時尚領域進行合作。因為有很多台灣學生在義大利學習時尚,尤其是米蘭。佛羅倫斯也一樣,有許多非常好的時裝學校。事實上,有一位台灣設計師在去年二月的羅馬時裝週上,剛剛展示了他的作品。我覺得另外一個合作領域,除了人才交流,另一個有足夠合作空間的領域肯定是紡織面料。研究新紡織品及不織布。現在用於運動裝、休閒裝和街頭裝的所有紡織品正成為高級訂製服裝的一部分。

贏得台灣賽區比賽的選手將到成都參加亞洲總決賽。
