Strutting down the runaway parading the latest designer ensembles and appearing as talents in television commercials has long been the dream of aspiring models. But not everyone knows how and where to kick-start their career in this field. This is the very reason Media Prima’s Primeworks Studios created the modelling reality TV show, I Wanna Be A Model 2016, on 8TV which aims at giving these wannabe models a golden opportunity to take their dreams to the next level.

After her eponymous win in the third season of I Wanna Be A Model in 2009, Shir became unstoppable in her modelling career by landing her first-ever magazine cover on Citta Bella Magazine and the cover of the award-winning Glam Magazine, styled by the renowned Cheah Wei Chun.

Meanwhile, Sean Feng, a model from China, became a popular face in the fashion sector soon after he was chosen as one of the Top 3 finalists in the 2008 Shanghai-International Model Search. Since then, he has appeared in numerous magazines such as Esquire, GQ, Men’s Folio, Ellen Men, Harper’s Bazaar and many more. He also became the face of fashion brand advertisements such as Adidas, Converse and Decathlon. In addition, he has modelled for MCM, Lavin, Armani, Dunhill, BOSS and Dolce&Gabbana.

A total of 20 participants which comprises 10 male models and 10 female models, will strive to be head and shoulders above each other in becoming the ultimate male and female supermodel.
