Elite Model Management To Represent Winner
The stakes have been raised in this year’s Nokia Face of Africa model search as M-Net revealed that the winner of the 2006 competition will receive a 3 year, US$ 150 000 modelling contract from Elite Model Management New York.

Founded in 1971 by John Casablancas and originally based in Paris, Elite relocated to New York six years later. Since its creation, Elite has maintained its position as one of the undisputed leaders in its field, launching the careers of icons such as Stephanie Seymour, Cindy Crawford, Demi Moore, Cameron Diaz, Andie McDowell, Linda Evangelista, Heidi Klum, Gisele Bundchen, Naomi Campbell, Claudia Schiffer and Tyra Banks amongst others. 30 years, and over five million bookings later, Elite remains at the forefront of the industry.

Head of M-Net Original Productions, Carl Fischer, welcomes Elite’s involvement in the Nokia Face of Africa project. ''Elite’s pedigree speaks for itself – the agency represents some of the biggest names in the fashion world, and will help us put African models on the international map,'' says Fischer.

Cathy Gould, Executive Director at Elite Model Management New York, sees the agency’s involvement with Nokia Face of Africa as a step towards building a strong relationship between Elite and the African continent. ''Elite Model Management New York is excited to be a part of the Nokia Face of Africa initiative again and is delighted to add Africa to our scouting network,'' says Gould.

Meanwhile Nokia Face of Africa 2005 winner Kaone Kario continues to grow in catwalk status. The energetic young model, who was signed to Storm Models as a part of her prize package, recently moved to Zero Models in Cape Town and is continuing to win fans for her dynamic presence and go-getting attitude.
