    AsNTM Cycle 3’s Amanda Chan on the Cover of MITH Magazine!

    , ,

    Asia’s Next Top Model Cycle 3 alum Amanda Chan who represented the Philippines (#PhilippinesOnTop!) last cycle is featured on the cover of this month’s issue of MITH Magazine.

    Based in Los Angeles and New York, MITH is a fashion and entertainment magazine. They cover the latest stories on fashion and style with the goal of empowering young women all over the world. For their latest issue they have featured a strong, young woman who is continuing her pursuit of the dream to become the next top model, Asia’s Next Top Model’s, and our very own, Amanda Chan.

    Remember young Amanda in AsNTM Cycle 3 when she was all cute and awkward when she couldn’t express how to be angry on cue? I loved her little “outburst” at the judging panel especially fueled by the harsh comments by Daniel Mananta. And who can forget this beautiful photo:

    Her experience on the show certainly gave her not just a ton of exposure to the fashion industry but also a great boost of confidence to prove that, although she didn’t win her cycle, she has all the potential to become a top model someday.

    I never thought that I could be a model, but due to my new-found self confidence, one of my career goals is to become a really-well known model by traveling the world and modeling in as many places as I can. In 2016 you’ll definitely see me modeling a lot more (with some big projects coming up hopefully), as well as completing university!

    I wish you good luck Amanda. You have a bright future ahead of you, not just in the fashion industry, but in life in general.

  • #AsNTM3 Asia’s Next Top Model Cycle 3: Episode 1 – Amiciness Picks

    Amanda won Best Photo for the first photo shoot

    Amanda Chan from the Philippines won best photo for the first photo shoot of Asia’s Next Top Model Cycle 3. I agree that Amanda’s is one of the better photos of the bunch. The photo would certainly fit into a Bench Body campaign. However, I think Barbara’s, Monika’s, and Aimee’s (top from left to right) photos are better, and should have been called first.

    Barbara‘s photo is the definition of “finding your light.” She is glowing in her photo. She absolutely looks like a jungle goddess here, like she’s announcing to the world “I own this land.” Not to mention, her body is to die for. “Face of an angel, body of a devil” indeed.

    You can really see the movement in Monika‘s photo. Like it’s a candid shot of her midway to an exhale. During the episode she was giving a variety of great poses, even flicking her hair around. Her face is absolutely stunning.

    Although the judges panned Aimee for having gone through a long time and a lot of prodding to get a good photo, the end result is great.

    Those are our favorite photos from Episode 1. Check out the other photos in our episode recap.

    Overall, I felt the theme is a bit been-there-done-that. Being shot in the studio didn’t help shake off that feeling. However, it had two things going for it. First, the execution is great. Mike Rosenthal really is a skilled photographer. The photos might have looked even better if the girls were actually in a jungle setting (somewhere in Pulau Ubin, probably?), but then again, it would have been harder to shoot. Second, having the girls pose in swimwear this early tests the girls’ confidence and commitment out of the gate: a great learning experience for all of them.
