The Second edition of the Zimbabwe Models Awards takes Place this Friday at Pablo’z in Borrowdale where various players in the modelling industry will be rewared for their contributions.
Awards Founder and Director Mercy Mushaninga says they are ready to stage a memorable event.
A fashion showcase is also pencilled to take place during the show.
“Since it’s about Models, and Fashion we have two slots for designers showing their designs, Adrian Tate and Pabloz DJs for the after party,” she said.
“We want people to take modelling seriously, Models represent big brands, therefore the industry should be taken seriously.”
This year’s edition is dedicated to the late Patron of Miss Zimbabwe trust Kiki Divaris, and Mercy explains the contribution made by Kiki
“Kiki was our pillar, she represented the girl child in the modelling industry with a passion. She made it easier for us because of her support to the industry,” she explained
