This is the first top model show from Modeling Project, LLC with goals to create diversity and open up the opportunity for Vietnamese models in American mainstream. The project wants to “promote and expose the vital role that Vietnamese partake within our multicultural nation and to enhance the overall perception of the Vietnamese ethnicity.” And further expand the entertainment industry in North America and beyond for young Vietnamese future generation that has become one of the fast growing ethnicity group today.

she's pretty ... watched her on tv the other day ... just wondering why most of the models look mean when they walk ... no smiling at all :-)

Hi. Thanks for leaving a comment.

I heard somewhere that the mean face is supposed to take the attention away from the model and onto the clothes they model for and also it show a kind of high fashion, professionalism.

Hi this is Alex =)
just wanted to say Thank You for writing such a good and informative article on Viet Model Project as well as myself. This is my first time on the blog and I'm loving each post!

Karly's response is exactly right about the 'mean look'. BUT in the end its up to the designer on what the feel of the show should be such as flirty for Victoria's Secret and smiling for GAP. hope that helps =)

It's rather unfortunate that Viet Model Project didn't live up to its purpose. Ask any of the other contestants.
