Singapore looks to HK for inspiration for reality glamour

Some of Hong Kong's top models have been recruited for key roles in a Singapore-based reality television show called SupermodelMe.

The beauties include Lisa Selesner, who hosts and judges the show's third season, and Qiqi Yam, Ana Rivera and Jennifer Tse Ting-ting.

'We are looking for a candidate who is versatile enough for the Asian and international market, high fashion editorial and commercial promotions,' Selesner said.

'She also has to be able to talk [naturally] in front of the camera. A very well-rounded entity [is what we expect of the winner].'

In all, 12 aspiring models of Asian descent will compete for a cash prize and modelling opportunities.

For the first time this season, the show will feature two Hong Kong-based contestants - Asha Cuthbert and Venus Hung Wing-nga.
