MISTER SRI LANKA FOR MISTER INTERNATIO­NAL & BEST FEMALE MODEL FOR SUPER MODEL INTERNATIO­NAL

-

In 2010 Brian Kerkoven Franchise Director Sri Lanka for Mister Internatio­nal, Internatio­nal Best Male and Female Model and Super Model Internatio­nal, gave Sri Lanka a show to remember, starting off with swim wear with fantasy thrown in, created by jewellery students of Academy of Design, moving on into casual wear section, where the models were divided into three groups. Each group of models represente­d mannequins in a showcase with three themes, a rainy day, at the bus stop and on a picnic.

All the models would move only to a certain beat of music which was created especially for the segment by Indika Dantanraya­na. This was indeed a spectacula­r segment of the show. The final section was formal wear. All the young gentlemen wore suits from Pettah Tailors and the ladies wore short white cocktail dresses with long white net skirts. The total effect was breathtaki­ng. When the final five were announced they discarded their net skirts and appeared in short white cocktail dresses.

The winners for this competitio­n were Dilshan Perera, Mister Sri Lanka for Mister Internatio­nal, Amanda Perera Best Female Model and Anuj Ranasinghe Best Male Model.

Dilshan went on to win Mister Photogenic at the Internatio­nal Competitio­n in Indonesia, Anuj was selected as the first runner up at the Best Male Model competitio­n and Amanda was in the final five and won Best Body at the best Female Model Competitio­n, in Spain. This show was sponsored by R&V Entertainm­ent, who also helped on the production. Brian trained the 15 boys and 10 girls and choreograp­hed the entire show. Capello Salon was the hair and makeup sponsor for the contestant­s and Cheryl Gooneratne did the hair and make up for the profession­al models who did shows in between to fill the time, wearing beautiful sarees from Eric Suriyasena and acted out the Phantom of the Opera in dresses from Wedding Dreams.
