Kim Dawson Model Search 2012

NorthPark Center hosted the 16th Annual Kim Dawson Model Search, which is one of the most successful model searches in the country.

We look fabulous!!

I was honored when one of my friends asked me to style and educate her son on the ins and out of modeling. To dress Connor we went straight to Express because since he is tall and skinny I knew only Express would have clothes that fit him correctly.

So you can get the perfect model casting outfit I will detail out his outfit. It is important that your outfit is not to outlandish but shows your style but does not take the focus away from the most important part...you! Also make sure the clothes fit you, if they are too big or too tight you will just look sloppy.

Top: Express 1MX Extra Slim Fit Stretch Cotton Shirt in White (roll sleeves up and un-button top two buttons).
Jeans: Express Rocco Slim Fit Skinny Leg Jean in Dusty Blue (the darker the wash the better! don't do light washes they only make you look bigger).
Belt: Express 2-In-1 Reversible Belt in Pitch Black (make sure it doesn't distract but completes the outfit).
Shoes: Aldo Casarella Sneakers in Black (make sure they don't distract but completes the outfit).

The semi finalist will be announced on September 17th in wffa.com and Kim Dawson's Facebook page. I am very proud of Connor and I hope he is selected as a semi finalist.

About Kim Dawson Agency:

For over fifty years, the Kim Dawson Agency has been the premiere agency in the Southwest. It is a full service agency representing women, men and children for print, fashion shows, feature films and televison.

Founded in 1959, the Kim Dawson Agency is one of the oldest and most prestigious agencies in the country. In the mid-1950s Kim Dawson returned to her native Texas after modeling for the top designers in Paris and New York. While establishing herself as one of Dallas' top models she saw an opportunity to be a pioneer in Dallas' emerging fashion industry by opening the city's first modeling agency. When Dawson was named the Fashion Director of the Dallas Apparel Mart in 1964, her namesake agency became the center of what was to evolve into one of the country's major fashion markets.

International modeling stars such as Bridget Hall, Erin Wasson, Chandra North and Ali Michael all got their starts with the Kim Dawson Agency. Actors Angie Harmon (Law and Order), Chace Crawford (Gossip Girl) Jensen Ackles (Supernatural), began their careers here as well. And many of today's most recognizable teen stars -- Selena Gomez (Wizards of Waverly Place), Demi Lovato (Sonny With a Chance), Debby Ryan (The Suite Life on Deck) and Thomas Mann (It's Kind Of a Funny Story) -- were discovered while working with the Kim Dawson Agency.

Thanks to the consistent quality of models and actors, the Kim Dawson Agency has become a destination for agency scouts from around the world. Working with the top agencies in New York, Los Angeles, Europe, Asia, Australia and Africa we not only launch a career, we manage it internationally. Renown for having some of the most experienced and knowledgeable bookers and agents in the industry, the Kim Dawson Agency turns new faces into stars.
