(MAAI) and the agency’s models and its partnered training school Modelles Magnifique, have been invited to the convention in Miami in 2013, where the scouts of various companies/agencies attend to discover talent and sign models and actors. Fab-Fetale Models will get the opportunity to attend this convention in 2013 and compete to be chosen by one of these major companies; NY Model Management, Wilhelmina NY, Click, Visage Tokyo, Trump Model Management, Elite Model Management and World Top Japan, just to name a few. Other companies such as The New York Film Academy and the New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts attend and present scholarships to attendees. This will be an exciting experience for the models next year.

The Management of the hotel chain went above and beyond to ensure that the graduation and Davika’s stay, was a memorable experience. They even went a step further, by making Davika’s entire stay at the hotel, her meals and her drinks complimentary! And this is the kind of treatment that is in store for whoever holds the title of The Official Face of the agency and the training school – travelling opportunities, photo shoots, branding, monetary compensation for referrals & recruitment done. Ms. Davika Hill of Bermuda was lucky enough to be the first Model Elite to experience this five star treatment. She is currently being trained and briefed on her new duties of being the principal of the model training school and the recruitment agent for Fab-Fetale in Bermuda. So the next graduating class will definitely be bigger than the last.
Michelle and Vanetta are very excited about this new venture and will keep the public posted on the updates as they unfold.
