SuperELITE Fashion Academy

You may have noticed, there is no shortage of models in Second Life. Unfortunately, most are unemployed and unknown. So, what does it take to get noticed, to stand out from the crowd, to get modeling jobs?

A key component in the success of the majority of SL's top models is their training. There must be substantially more than just a pretty face to make it in the rough 'n tumble world of fashion modeling. Professional model training can be the springboard to a successful career.

There are several well respected modeling schools in-world. However, SuperElite Modeling Agency founder Yasmine Kidd felt that the "one-size-fits-all" curriculum approach was not completely addressing the needs of all models and those who employ them. Unlike other modeling classes, SuperElite offers courses fine-tuned to different levels of experience:

The Beginner Class offers comprehensive courses to prepare you for your entrance in the modeling field. For the more experienced, the Advanced Class focuses on the expectations, needs and demands you face on the job, with emphasis on runway training. Finally, the Elite Class is a post-graduate advanced course, taught by Mimmi Boa, one of SL's most successful models. Mimmi takes her class deep into the nitty-gritty world of fashion and professional modeling. These sessions also feature workshops by leaders from the worlds of fashion, design, and related businesses. Also, unlike any other modeling course in SL, those who complete the Elite training are guaranteed a job by SuperElite.

The goal of the superis to teach every model to be the best they can be, from the complete noob to the most elite of the elite.
