New style-focused Pan-African Reality TV Show hosted by former Miss World, Agbani Darego set to air this summer

“You better go and think of a real career!” That was the response that most African parents would give when their children suggested that they wanted to enter the world of fashion. Perhaps as a model, fashion stylist, fashion designer, photographer, makeup artist or even a fashion photographer.

Thanks to the success of fashion pioneers including Iman, Oluchi and Liya Kebede, things are changing. Fashion is being recognized as a worthy profession.

An exciting new Pan-African Reality TV show – STYLOGENIC is set to propel African fashion and those that aspire to join the industry to greater heights.

STYLOGENIC is a show like no other. Rather than being based on the search for a top model or designer or stylist, the show is based around the concept of a style team! So contestants are going to be grouped in teams consisting of the various ‘style elements’. That is a model, designer, stylist, makeup artist, photographer and model. They will compete as a team and will battle it out with fellow teams for the grand prize!

The show recently held a media presentation in Lagos which was attended by the host, one of the most famous women in Africa – Former Miss World, Agbani Darego. Agbani won the Miss World crown in 2001, making her the first and only black African to ever win the title. She went on to have a successful modeling career which included a stint as a L’Oreal International “Face” and Spokesperson, numerous commercial ad campaigns and features in US Vogue and Essence magazine.

Entries for the show will open soon and entries will be accepted from all eligible Africans based on the continent and in Diaspora. The show will begin airing in September 2010.

Prizes are yet to be revealed but from what we hear, it’s MAJOR!

It promises to be an immensely exciting show!

[size=13pt]What a beauty.I wish her luck in anything that she does[/size]

SHE IS VERY OLD NOW.

I WONDER O!

Mcfeddy:

SHE IS VERY OLD NOW.

I WONDER O!

My thoughts exactly. Infact, i have a theory which is yet to be disputed, once u start getting extraordinarily thin, u become extraordinarily old. Chubby women look younger and prettier.

Bored and forgotten celebrity tryin to make a comeback.
Reality show indeed.

She looks so old, as if the picture was taken from the future.

Maybe i am just being cynical but one word keeps popping in my head when i read the article ------ 'Washed up', ( God forgive me lol)

the truth is - when she won miss world, she claimed she was 18 then but legend has it that she was actually 25 then - so she must nearing 40 now

She aged very very fast but still wishing her the best

I thought as much cos if she was really eighteen then, she wouldn't have looked this old nah, maybe it is the pix that is making her look so.

Unbelievable dis no be AGBANI, NEVER. If na true say na AGBANI i dey see so, then na plastic sugery she been use when she win the competition

On a more serious note, dis is UGLY, can't even maintain her either natural or artificial beauty

oge4real:

she isn't looking good at all. she's too thin for an african woman, even naomi campbell is fleshier.

I was arguing with my brother the other day when he pointed at Agbani. At a point he said he no too sure wether na Agbani sef. That means it was Agbani I saw. What happened to her beauty? She don born 12?

Thats the beauty of reality. well, its the reality of beauty too.

I can't help but to agree with guys who say that she has aged really fast.

sulad82i:

Food for thought!!!

suddenly, the thread topic has changed to "your thoughts on the new looks of agbani". na wa o ,
well, this is a warning to guys that marry becos of beauty. Real beauty is inside and not on the outside

she looks better without long hair, that's all.

Oluchi is ok with long hair, but agbani's beauty lies in her facial bone structure.

Don't know what you guys are all screaming about still think she looks okay

tpia.:

Exactly. She hasn't always been the prettiest , it's the facial bone structure that sets her apart.

It works both ways, too thin/too fat makes a person look older than they really are.

That is so true, although she looks waaay older cos she's really skinny, her face still stands out.

Agbani could do with a few pounds. . . would make her look better. She still looks above average though, still very modellish.

Sounds like an interesting show, wish I could see it.

Divine, tiny just like moi,

Couldn't be any prettier,

Heart Bleep.
