Karachi-based Redd Haute became the first modelling agency to send a male model to participate in an international show, Manhunt International, which was held in South Korea. While the participating model, Ali Asghar, did not win the title, he did bag the ‘Mr Personality’ award.
He has recently come back from Korea and says that the experience allowed him to gain insight into the life and work of models internationally. He has been offered work in commercials and music videos and says that his participation in the show has given him a lot of exposure.
Designer Thomas Fernandes, the person behind Redd Haute, hopes that his agency will participate in many more international modelling projects in the future.—M.Z
Bryan banned?
Bryan Adams has reportedly been banned from performing and/or attending this summer’s Princess Diana memorial concert. For crimes against pop music? Not quite. The People newspaper reports that Princes William and Harry don’t want him there because they fear his presence will remind people of those rumours about the “closeness” he and Diana once shared.
Phew, they really sidestepped that landmine. Adams is the second artiste the tabs have reported to have been snubbed from the concert — Paul McCartney being the first.—Dawn/The Guardian News Service
