Yesterday Mercedes-Benz STYLO Model Search 2012 Finale was held in The Pool, Nihonkan, a new luxurious lifestyle gastrobar at Jalan Ampang.
It was full house!
YBhg Dato' Nancy Yeoh, President and CEO of Stylo International said that there are still many toung women out there waiting to be discovered and polished into future supermodels and they realised that beauty in the classic sense is not a prerequisite. She added Supermodels are a unique breed. One 'look" is never beautiful but they must possess the ability to adapt to different situations and styles at any given time, with the right attitude while maintaining poise and elegance.
