UR SuperModels WINS Design Competition with Designer FRALEY LE, hosted by renown Nena Ivon
June 2010- UR SuperModels provided Fashion Division Models, Yelena & Gina, plus Print model Jessica Meyer (model we sent to walk in Dubai Fashion Fiesta 2009-as their FIRST AMERICAN MODEL), to the "Rock the Runway," fashion exhibit produced by highly noted Nena Ivon,
quoted from the News Dispatch:
"Master of Ceremonies Nena Ivon, a legend who spent half a century as fashion director for Saks Fifth Avenue in Chicago, introduced the outfits and their designers."
Modeling for Chicago designer, Fraley Le, who has an exuberant future in fashion, was quite an honor for the ladies. Student designers displayed from Michigan City, Chicago, and Michigan. Held at the Lubeznik Center, it was a first time for anything like this. Pleasant hosts of the bright yet soft gallery, greeted guests with warm smiles, champagne, fresh fruit, and pairing nibbles. The mood was intimate, and worry free. Nena, the pro that she is was quite entertaining when there was a glitch in sound stalling the event. Grace comes in humor and finesse, not only stern faced, and holding a notable seat.
UR SuperModels Yelena, was the chosen model to WIN the competition alongside chosen designer Frayle for his gorgeous gown that could be worn as a dream dress for women of all ages. UR model Yelena was photographed with the winning designer, Michigan city local media, celebrity judges, Nena Ivon, and of course Frayle himself. Frayle not only was very pleased with being chosen for his design, but was quoted as saying our models were so nice, easy to work with, and our artistic director & ceo/founder, Asha Spacek was probably one of the nicest people he has ever worked with in the fashion industry. Le added she knew the perfect models to fit my collection. He has toured NY, Chicago, ad international markets as an emerging designer, but most as a budding artist. He has much support from his former instructor at IADT Chicago. Frayle was referred to URSM by another amazing Chicago designer (and Richard Driehaus Award Winner) Hector Javier-Monarrez, by which our model Jen-Yi is currently FACE model.
Models from Ford Chicago and Factor Women Chicago were also present-
