PITCH model makes good

Sometimes things just work out really well. In 2006, Magdalena Schoemann modelled for five emerging CPIT designers at PITCH, the CPIT Fashion School’s end of year show. In 2009, she was crowned Miss World New Zealand. It’s a long way to the top, but Magdalena says PITCH gave her a ‘foot in the door’. Like most young girls, Magdalena had dreamed of being a model, but never thought it truly possible. So when she saw the ad for the PITCH model audition, she thought it would be fun, if nothing else. Then she caught the eye of second-year design student Emilie Pullar, setting in train events that will see the eighteen year old represent New Zealand in December at Miss World 2009 in Johannesburg, South Africa.

“PITCH is a great way to get your face out there. You never know what other opportunities might come from it, and it’s great to be able to model for future leading designers!”

Since then Magdalena has done a power of work promoting Miss World and preparing for her part in the competition which is to be run on December 12th. Magdalena has proven herself to be a superb ambassador, not only for Miss World but also for our own show PITCH. She has given a lot of time and support to promote the event to a whole range of potential new models this year. And just when you thought people didn't give a glance backwards, Magdalena has shown that she really walks the talk.

Good luck in South Africa Magadalena!

Magdalena is organising a show, 'Celebrating Life' on the 31st October which you might like to check out.
