5 The Last Stop (France)
12/15/12
Season-only
Next up, France, the heart of fashion and home of Elite Model Look. France has a long and storied history of fashion and modeling, and the French Elite Model Look team a great track record discovering top models, the latest success stories being Constance Jablonski – the new face of Estee Lauder – or Sigrid Agren, a CHANEL muse. Last year’s winner , Josephine (left), is already the ‘it-girl’ having signed exclusive deals for Celine and Calvin Klein. Who will be the next Josephine?
We’ll have insider access to the contestants, scouts and judges and capture the emotional nature of competition from early castings, all the way through model boot camp.
Accompanying us through the journey is Victoria Da Silva, Director of Elite Model Look France. With 20 year in the industry, Victoria has seen beauties come and go.... What makes a top model? For Victoria, it’s not just about beauty. “It’s the personality and the charisma that counts. The girls need to be motivated and passionate. They need to quickly understand the rules of the game, our role is to evaluate their behaviour and judge if a young woman can make it to the top, or not.”
We follow Victoria and her team of scouts as they embark on an ‘Elite Beach Tour’, trawling the beaches of South France to find the next big thing – and then setting up live castings all round the country. We follow the girls as they arrive in Paris with their families for the model bootcamp and French National Final. For some, it’s their first time in the capital, and the pressure is mounting. Will they be ready in time for the French Final?
