Congratulations Ayu Gani from Indonesia for winning Cycle 3 of Asia’s Next Top Model. She was the girl on top of the competition, and will represent Asia in the international modelling scene. As you know, aside from the title of Asia’s Next Top Model, one of the fabulous prizes is a cover for Harper’s Bazaar Singapore. And here it is, or as they say in AsNTM, “here is Gani’s best picture…”
Last time on Asia’s Next Top Model Cycle 3, we found out who Asia’s Next Top Model is for Cycle 3. But before we knew that, the models got to have one final photo shoot. It’s a nod to Singapore’s colonial past: the girls had to pose in the midst of colonial architecture while wearing haute couture. Since this is their final 3, I won’t be ranking them anymore. Instead, I’ll point out each one’s pros and cons. Starting with Alex Perry’s pick, Aimee.
For a Korean drama fanatic like me, one of the highlights of traveling to Korea is visiting Korean drama (or as we call it in the Philippines, Koreanovela) sets . Well, I’m a recovering Koreanovela fan. I try to avoid watching them because they make me stay up so late and my eye-bags can only handle so much. I also get attached to the characters and the stories that I find it hard to move on.
The Korean drama set I visited was none other than the 2014 hit series Man from the Stars (also known as My Love from the Star or You Who Came from the Stars). For those not familiar, the show’s main protagonist Do Min-joon (Kim Soo-hyun) is an alien waiting for centuries for a comet to bring him to his home planet. Fate brings him to Cheon Song-yi (Jun Ji-hyun), a beautiful but a bit nutty actress. I promise you, it’s a must-watch!
The set (one of the house sets used in the series) is located at Korea’s exhibition center, KINTEX (2) similar to the Philippines’ SMX Convention Center only so much bigger and wider. According to the print ads, the exhibition will be until August 2015. What are you waiting for? Go to KINTEX now!
Amiciness is recapping the finale of Asia’s Next Top Model Cycle 3. This week we’re finally crowning the next representative of Asia in the modelling world. One final photo shoot, and one final runway will determine who will be this cycle’s Asia’s. Next. Top. Model.
Watch with us at 8:45 P.M. on STAR World to find out who will be Asia’s Next Top Model. Who is going to win all of these fabulous prizes? A Subaru XV STI car, a campaign for TRESemmé, a magazine cover and spread for Harper’s Bazaar Singapore, and an international modelling contract with Storm Models Management in London.
While waiting for the episode, check out last week’s full recap and my picks for last episode. I also posted the girls’ portfolios so far. You may have noticed that I added a thumbs up/down rating at the end of each post. Let’s find out what you, the AsNTM3 fans, thought about the girls making it to the Top 3. As of 7:15 P.M. (UTC+8) tonight, Aimee has a net score of -10 (14 thumbs up and 24 thumbs down), Gani has a net score of -11 (30 up and 41 down), and Monika has a net score of +43 (56 up and 13 down). Monika is still your favorite to win. Let’s see how the girls fare in the finale.
WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD. PHOTOS ADDED.
Last time on Asia’s Next Top Model Cycle 3, the models shot fashion styles in different decades for a Harper’s Bazaar magazine cover. The girls had to portray styles from the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s. Who were successful in their fashion time travel and who got lost in time? Here’s my own call out order:
