SupermodelMe is a multi-platform reality series in which a number of aspiring models of Asian heritage compete for a chance to launch their careers in the fashion industry.
10 girls from all over Asia arrived in Singapore for the competition. Host Charmaine meets them outside the house they’ll be staying in and tells them about the bed situation. The girls race in to get the first pick of their beds. Next, the girls head to The Red Dot Design Museum where Rick Tan, model-turned-host and the catwalk expert, teaches them different styles of walking before having a catwalk challenge. Back at the house, Charmaine comes to tell the rules and they have one last call to their loved one.
The models are tested on their courage and confidence in showing off their catwalk and posing skills but this will take place in front of a very public audience in Orchard Road. They have to time their pace according to the lights at the pedestrian crossing and still be able to strike a pose.
