Two young talents from Bloemfontein, Amber Riddle and Liané Schmidt, are making waves in the international modeling and performance scene.
Both girls, trained by V-Models South Africa, have earned invitations to participate in the prestigious New York Fashion Week − this being an achievement many seasoned models only dream of.
These bright young stars celebrated a string of accomplishments at the South African Youth Ambassadors Awards ceremony on 15 June in Johannesburg, in this way marking their emergence as standout figures in the youth modeling circuit.
Amber (13) impressed judges and audiences alike with her stage presence and versatility.
Selected to participate in the Universal Global pageant in America, and subsequently scouted for the New York Fashion Week, Amber has also been chosen to represent South Africa at the Disco World Championships in America.
Not only is she turning heads on the runway, but her talent extends to dance as well.
“She simply takes the runway by storm,” says her coach, V-Models’ Tegan Botes.
Liané (12) has shown extraordinary promise as a V-Model.
Named runner-up at the South African Youth Ambassadors Awards, Liané has already secured a place at the New York Fashion Week and will also represent South Africa on the Universal Global stage.
As with Amber, Liané’s dynamic range includes not only modeling, but also competitive dance.
She has also been selected to compete in the Disco World Championships.
According to Botes, Liané “turns a camera upside down in photographic modeling,” a nod to her expressive and camera-ready persona.
