Two young models from St. Kitts-Nevis have been selected for international training in New York under the Department of Creative Economy’s Project Xport New Faces Initiative.
Forty aspiring models took part in a recent casting call at the St. Johnson Community Center where a panel of judges selected Liberty Woodley and Nashanti Perkins for the opportunity.
Miss Woodley is attached to Movado Modelling Agency in St. Kitts, while Miss Perkins is signed with The Elites agency based in Nevis.
The pair will travel to New York this week to participate in the Coco Rocha Modeling Camp. The training program is led by internationally recognized supermodel Coco Rocha.

An internationally acclaimed supermodel, entrepreneur, and talent development expert, she is widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in contemporary fashion.
