Others have graced the pages of international fashion magazines as well as worked e-commerce jobs and fitness campaigns. Charleston Fashion Week is and has been one of my favorite events to scout for models!”

Selected models will train under Michelle Wood, CFW model coach and top professional model who has walked in fashion shows in New York, London, Paris, Milan, Sydney, and Tokyo for designers including Armani, Chanel, Donna Karen, Ralph Lauren, and Bill Blass.
