If they don't have direct representation in their countries, usually other agencies related to Elite send their candidates. For example, Queta Rojas agency from Mexico sent two models this year. Not an open casting in this case, the girl already walked for Dior and had a Elle Mexico cover.How does it work? There are some countries that have been traditional hotbeds for models that aren't represented in the contest, like Australia, Sweden, Canada, etc? Is it that the judges didn't think the winners in those places were good enough for the finals?
Micklate from Mozambique and Imade from Italy landed top place and won a global model contract with Elite Model Management.
Micklate, a 20-year-old from Mozambique, describes herself as adaptable, curious and empathetic. She is currently pursuing studies in geology and mining, but harbours hopes to one day become a pilot. Micklate’s passions include outdoor adventures, creative writing, and relaxing with a good book. A Gemini, she is inspired by the mantra, "In the end, we only regret the chances we didn’t take," and she is driven by a passion for new experiences. With her natural height and poise, she is a basketball enthusiast, but dreams of becoming a top model, traveling the world, and forging new friendships along the way.
Imade, 21, was born in Morocco and moved to Italy when he was a little boy. Spontaneous and adventurous, his childhood dream was to be an astronaut. He was scouted by Elite Model Look in a restaurant in Milan. An ambitious young man, his career plans to date include starting a business with his parents, working in the fashion industry, or becoming a top-tier football referee. Imade’s message to the followers of Elite Model Look is that he is proud of his Moroccan roots and grateful to Italy for the opportunities it has provided.
