A new international digital platform, Bright Black Fashion, where the talents from all over the fashion industry can discover a platform to present their skills on a series of online challenges. Any of the candidates who will be chosen as a finalist on the platform will be able to participate in the journey in the grand finale of Bright Black fashion.
Dubai is going to host the finale of the Bright Black Fashion in the month of June 2022, where each of the categories will choose one winner, and the categories are Fashion designers, makeup artists, models as well as fashion photographers.
The fashion contest was started by two Latino women, Andrea Laguna from Columbia and Alicia Becerra from Argentina. Since the previous eight years, they both have been living in Dubai and have collaborated with each other to support emerging talent from all over the world.
Moreover, Andrea Laguna is a Colombian singer who arrived in Dubai eight years ago as well as began to give a chance to the fresh talents from all over the globe. Afterwards, she became a freelance artist in the United Arab Emirates.
Later on, she had a thought about how to help the individuals seeking new beginnings or searching to get new experiences that are entering a competitive international marketplace where constant improvement is the only path to succeed.
While considering her motive, Andrea mentioned in the statement, “We want to give opportunities to talented people who haven’t got the chance to show everything they can do in their industry.”
In addition, Alicia Becerra, of San Luis, Argentina, is a businesswoman who has been working as a fashion designer in Dubai since the previous four years as well as has always extended her efforts to support the individuals to overcome professional difficulties to improve their lifestyle.
While highlighting the aspects of the fashion show, she stated, “Bright Black Fashion is an amazing start to the participant’s careers. There is so much talent and diversity all across the globe, and many people work hard but didn’t get to the right place at the right time; all we want is to offer them that special opportunity.”
Along with this, Andrea further said, “I haven’t been accommodated in many nations, but even if I have only experienced a few, that kind of exposure changes you; I see it not only on myself but almost everyone who goes through it… it opens your mind as well as network to become a better version of yourself and continue pursuing your dreams… at very least, living in different nations gives a fresh perspective in life. So with Alicia, we put together connections in fashion and experience in entertainment to open as many doors as possible for others too.”
Meanwhile, Andrew has also emphasized the method for participation in the Fashion show. Participants can register through the website www.brightblackfashion.com or via the link on our Instagram @brightblackfashion. After that, candidates have to select the category in which they join. They will receive all the requirements via email for the category they selected and start the challenges for the selection team to begin the process.”
Furthermore, they will also conduct the tour in Latin American nations like Argentina, Colombia, Brazil, Mexico and others to support as well as bring attention to the Bright Black Fashion Platform. The tour will also help them to create awareness among the local as well as international designers, and its first season will be held in San Luis, Argentina, on May 7, 2022, in the convention center La Punta.
Michael Cinco, which is one of the biggest names in the fashion industry, is also a Filipino couture designer based in Dubai for over twenty years as well as that has dressed celebrities like Beyoncé, Jennifer López, SofÃa Vergara, Lady Gaga as well as Rihanna, will be the headline designer of the show in San Luis alongside designers from the middle east like Salma Khan and brands like The Victor Closet as well as emerging designers from Latin America.
Andrew also highlighted the criteria through which companies and sponsors could support the platform. She pointed out, “Given the media collaborators we have right now (in Latin America and internationally), we can offer our sponsors and engaged growing audience, and it is the way we will continue to support more and more talents around the world for this first season and the ones to come. They can write us the email [email protected].”
Andrew inspires the new talents to participate in the Fashion show as well as mentioned that they are coming up with a second platform that will be for talents in the music and entertainment industry. They will announce it after the grand finale of Bright Black Fashion in Dubai in June 2022.
