Presented by the Indo U.S. Council and the Mid Atlantic Medical Association with the help of Flair Designs Events, based in Jackson, New Jersey, the World Fashion Contest promises to bring back pageantry and non-stop action in a unique non-gaming, family friendly manner to Atlantic City. This fashion event is slated to evolve into an annual Atlantic City fashion week event to be held early August.

The multi-cultural event is open to the public to view and people of all ages and backgrounds are encouraged to attend both days.

The winners in each of the two categories (models/designers) of the World Fashion Contest will receive the grand prize of $1,000 each and they will be deemed International Model and International Designer, respectively. They will also be presented with trophies for both, plus a crown for the winning model.

Both winners will also receive copies of professional photos and videos taken at the World Fashion Contest gala event plus a photo shoot with a well-known New York City photographer Paula Lizaragga.

In addition, the winners of the modeling category will receive a one-year exclusive modeling contracts with Colby Model Management and Kamack Model Management, both of New York City, and a complete package courtesy of Barbara Hewins of Polished Professionals Etiquette and Runway Coaching, New Brunswick, New Jersey.

But there may be even more! A magazine sponsor is currently being sought to publish a spread focusing on the winning model!

Foley and Dr. Sanjay Gupta, president of the Indo U.S. Council, invite everyone to take part in this old-fashioned contest presented under the auspices of the Indo U.S. Council. (

www.indouscouncil.org).

According to Gupta, a pain specialist physician with offices in the South Jersey and Philadelphia areas, the Indo U.S. Council is comprised of several professionals from many different backgrounds. Their goal is to promote multicultural, non-gaming events for families of all cultures in the Atlantic City and tri-state areas. Most recently the council organized a parade in Atlantic City that was attended by many.

We have more than 200 models and designers of clothing and accessories from as far away as Albania and Africa who have applied to the contest, said Gupta. Fashion has a widespread appeal without any religious or political issues. We hope to provide a place for international designers and models to gain exposure, while at the same time hoping to increase tourism in the Atlantic City area. We will be glad to have anyone who is interested in the fashion industry attend and/or sponsor the event. In addition to the general public, we also welcome newspapers, magazines, photographers, radio and television stations and all interested parties to attend the World Fashion Contest.
