In an interview with WeekendLife, the President and founder of BBMA, Ikanyeng Galebotswe, highlighted that the event will help attendees to create new opportunities, meet new contacts, help promote their brands and services, and help with the exchange of ideas for projects they can collaborate on.
“BBMA Open House, Designer, Model networking event is a fashion networking event for the fashion & beauty industry. This event promises to be the noteworthy event of this year. With 100+ models, photographers, advertisers, marketers and associated media personalities expected to be a part of the event, this promises to be like no other,” Galebotswe explained further. He further shared that BBMA wants to bring a different taste to fashion networking events, in the sense that fashion icons will be engaged and people will be given an opportunity to connect and interact with them.
“There will be many fashion gurus and professionals to help you get the best out of your career, including model scouts / coordinators and casting directors. This also goes for photographers and artists,” Galebotse asserted. The event, he highlighted, is an opportunity for models to be branded and to market themselves to potential agencies. Galebotse further explained that models can be represented by modelling agencies in different markets. Scouts from international agencies often visit other models’ networking events outside of their own markets to scout for new models.
He explained that most models are discovered simply by being in the right place at the right time so being at this event will be a dream come true for some local models. “When you are signed to more than one agency, all of your agencies will work together to promote you and guide you through your modelling career,” he added.
“Since the best clients always use modelling agencies to find their models, you will be exposed to the best job opportunities. For example, if a particular model that a top client wants to hire is unavailable, you could be presented to that client as an alternative, and voila! You could get the booking. The mere fact that you are in the vicinity of agents, bookers, models, and clients will increase your job prospects by about a 1000 percent,” he highlighted.
The fashion network will feature live photo shoots as guests enjoy drinks and music whilst networking with up and coming creative talent across the fashion industry. Designers will receive professional look book images of their garments whilst models will further their experience and expand their portfolios. The event will feature different key-note speakers from different ventures associated with modelling, fashion and beauty industry.
