Subject: YEAH! -BOBBY IS GABBY'S EG DESIGNER-FANTASTIC! Author: Trini77 [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: Saturday, September 20, 06:14:51am Author Host/IP: cpe-66-65-16-174.nyc.res.rr.com/66.65.16.174 Trinidad Express (20th Septmenber 2008) Gabrielle The different styles for Miss World The 58th Miss World Contest will be held at Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg, South Africa on December 12 2008. The pageant was originally scheduled for the Kiev, Ukraine, from September 5 to October. With this new location that shares a similar climate to the West Indies, the entire look for Gabrielle Walcott, our representative at the pageant had to be re-worked. National director and stylist for the Pageant Company, Peter Elias, explained "The original look we developed for Gabby was very sophisticated and chic because of the Ukraine's cool autumn climate. This allowed for classic clothing in shades of browns, blacks and animal prints. We did pencil skirts, cardigan knit tops with belts on the waist, fur trimmed collars, shawls and peep-toe shoes with patterned stockings...all reminiscent of Ingrid Bergman in the movie Casablanca." According to Elias, with the change in venue everything had to be changed. "When the pageant officials moved the pageant to South Africa we had to completely change Gabby's look to make her look more like a Trinbagonian, and still stand out among the delegates. "The last thing we need is for her to resemble Miss Venezuela. The look will be modern and still have a familiar expression,' We want Gabby to look like Pocahontas, an exotic beauty who will stand out among the 106 fellow delegates. "My colleague Bobby Ackbarali who is based in Toronto will again do her competition evening gown." [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
