Elite Chicago Introduces the New Generation

Elite model Mary

Elite Model Management is one of the biggest names in the modeling industry and they had a reason to celebrate recently! After Elite’s annual ‘model booth camp,’ the agency’s new faces were ready to hit the runway. And, they had beautiful wooden décor to do exactly that at Manor’s exclusive VIP lounge Stay. The newly-signed models walked a fashion show in front of clients including Factio Magazine/Runway To Retail (yours truly), Seventeen Magazine, Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue and more. Special guests included Mckey Sullivan (ANTM 2008 Winner) and Nichole Robinson, who are both part of the Elite family.

The dresses showed were by none other than Chicago designer Elise Bergman. The beautifully crafted clothing was executed in a natural light palette with a-symmetric hemlines and the dropped waistlines we love in spring fashion. Jewelry worn was designed by Asia.

Goodie bags were filled up with beauty essentials and gift cards and the after party at Manor was filled with networking. Congratulations girls!

Elite Launches E-Tube

Located in the Hotel Sax, Crimson Lounge features old-fashioned portraits and oil paintings, rich fabrics and period-piece furniture all dripping in crimson. This lounge applies to all your senses, indeed. And tonight, the crowd matches the beautiful setting. The celebration is Elite Model Management’s E-Tube Launch party. E-Tube is your newest destination for professional online video from Elite Models. You can choose from different channels to watch what you wish. Whether that is Model Education, Photo Shoots or Runway Videos; E-Tube answers your need for model knowledge!

But the night wasn’t only about Elite’s expanding online network; it also showed us the semi-finalists of the E-Tube Model Contest. Six beauties have been selected out of hundreds of submissions and they have the chance to win a modeling contract. The voting doesn’t close until the end of March, so let them know who you think should win.

Visit www.elitechicago.tv to indulge in the world of beauty and to vote for your favorite girl!
