They have worked together on fashion shoots and are uniquely placed to give a masterclass on what it takes to bring an idea of a fashion editorial to life. |
| AFWL MODEL CHAT |
| AFWL wouldn’t be AFWL without model corps! every year AFWL auditions over 200 models at our castings and chose over 50 models to walk the runway. Hear from a select few about what they are doing during the lockdown to stay camera-ready, their careers and also what else they do besides modelling. |
| EMPOWERING CREATIVES |
| Governmental, quasi-governmental, and art and culture organisations discuss ways in which they empower creatives and accessibility to resources including mentorship, fellowship, apprenticeship and internship.
