Thursday night was the third edition of the IMAGE Top Model event at Volar. What started off as a networking event for the modeling industry and a showcase for new talent, has morphed into a runway competition that packs the club.

Rather than building an elevated runway, the models walked a route along the floor of the club, pausing on small elevated podiums.

The anticipation was high as the models waited to hear who would be crowned this month’s IMAGE top model!
