Topmodel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Topmodel is a Flemish reality television show which pits contestants against each other in a variety of competitions to determine who will win a modeling contract with Dominique Models. Belgian supermodel Ingrid Seynhaeve hosts the show, which is based on the top-rating series America's Next Top Model with supermodel Tyra Banks.

The debut season of the show premiered on KanaalTwee in October 2007. On it, 10 female contestants were placed in an apartment. Spanning a wide variety of women of various races, heights and body sizes, they had been whittled down from a pool of thousands to compete against one another in various contests designed to simulate the extreme demands placed on professional models. Each week one contestant was eliminated by a panel of judges: Ingrid Seynhaeve herself, fashion expert Ghislaine Nuytten, model Elise Crombez and Monique Vanendert, photographer. Coaches are Lieve Gerrits who's a stylist, Aza Declercq as acting coach and Vasko Todorof, make up artist.
