New York Fashion Week Spring 2013: Top Model Invades Top Chef Morimoto’s Restaurant to Kick Off NYFW

Yesterday morning, international photographer and ‘Asia’s Next Top Model’ (AsiasNTM) judge Todd Anthony Tyler, celebrated the kick off of New York Fashion Week spring/summer 2013 runway season with a breakfast at Morimoto NY, the restaurant of Food Network star and Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto.

Fashion’s finest, along with America's Next Top Model (Top Model) alums Eugena Washington from cycle 7 and April Wilkner from cycle 2, gathered to hear Tyler share his unique point of view on fashion photography, modeling trends and also learned more about his role as resident photographer and judge on the premiere cycle of AsiasNTM, an adaptation of Tyra Banks’ original hit TV series Top Model.

Known for transforming models into icons, Tyler has captured the rising star of Asia’s freshest faces including Liu Wen, Fei Fei Sun and Kiki Kang. For over a decade, Tyler has operated a successful studio in Shanghai, China, becoming one of the most sought-after contemporary photographers/art directors in Asia as well as worldwide. His work regularly graces the pages of elite fashion magazines including Vogue China, Elle China, Harper’s Bazaar China, L'Officiel and GQ.

“As a former model turned photographer, I am thrilled to bring 20 years of experience on both sides of the camera to the judging panel,” says Tyler, who has snapped ad campaigns for Ports 1961, Uma Wang, Ritz-Carlton Hotels and L’Oreal Paris. “I look forward to introducing the world to the diverse and unique beauty of Asian women, while doing my part to mentor and develop the chosen finalists into successful top models.”

Top Model is under license in over 100 markets worldwide including Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines and China. For the first time, the franchise will bring together young women that encompass the rich diversity and nuances of all Pan-Asia for an opportunity to prove they have what it takes to become AsiasNTM.

Each guest received beauty goodies provided by Avon that included NAILWEAR PRO+ Nail Enamel and Super Drama Mascara as well as a sterling silver PRO+ fine mesh ring complements of Whiting & Davis.
