Style council members teamed up  to talk to fashion students about how to make it in the industry, educate themselves about the creative process, and encourage them to join the “vitaminwater color collection” competition, a t-shirt design competition that leads to a $5,000 grant and a tshirt produced and sold through vitaminwater.  The FIT panel included Gossip Girl stylist Eric Daman, Elle’s creative director Joe Zee and CFDA designer Richard Chai.

Attendees got to hear about how youthful passion led all three industry experts to their respective careers today.  Regardless of whether you end up in magazines, as a designer, or styling television and movie sets like the panelists one theme rang strong:  be open minded to new opportunities, be creative, and always ask questions.

Fashion students sipped on Vitaminwater while listening to the wise words of the fashion elite.  And a special treat at the end?  Several lucky audience members walked away with iPad2′s, copies of Joe Zee and Eric Daman’s books, and a certain special someone got a cashmere cardigan designed by Richard Chai (lucky me!).

America’s Next Top Model is
the hit reality series that gives everyday people across the nation the
opportunity to compete for a grand prize which includes a modeling
contract with a top agency or management company.

Producers have scheduled an open casting call for cycle 16 of
the Series at Denver Pavilions located at 500 16th St. Denver, CO 80202
on the 16th St. Mall in Downtown Denver on Saturday, July 10th.

Lines form at 9am on level two of the Denver Pavilions in
front of the Glenarm Great Room. The casting call runs between
10am-5pm. Interested candidates must be between the ages of 18-27, and
must be 5’7” or taller.

Wendy Manning, Marketing Director for Denver Pavilions comments on hosting the casting call. “America’s Next Top Model
is an established Series with great brand equity to tie into. Denver
Pavilions is the ideal location to host the call as our merchant mix
gels with the contender demographics required from producers.”

Denver is one of many stops on a nationwide search for the
show’s producers to find approximately nine to fourteen top contenders
who will compete for the coveted grand prize and have the dream of a
lifetime come true. Over a period of several weeks, the lucky
participants will go through intensive training in the modeling field.
They will be trained by some of the top modeling experts in the world,
including top model Tyra Banks. These experts will teach them about
fashion, runway skills, physical fitness and publicity. During this
entire time, the participants will live under one roof in a house or
loft that is equipped with cameras and microphones to record their
every move, 24-hours a day, 7-days a week.

Kate Moss is set to hit the small screen! The model will be found alongside lifelong hairstylist and friend James Brown as he opens his own salon. I’m not quite sure, but I’m guessing the duo is going to be very entertaining.
