Last night’s stunning Andre Kim charity fashion show blew away the 250 invited VIP guests and international media at the Hyatt Regency, Incheon. All proceeds from the show went International Vaccine Institute (IVI) and the money raised will go towards projects helping underprivaleged North Korean children.

Julia Morley and Incheon Mayor Ahn Sang-soo opened the event with speeches before spectacular lights and booming music started the show with a bang. The first group walked out, led by Brazil, in futuristic tracksuits, in a 2018 Winter Olympics theme, for which Korea’s city of PyeongChang is a bidder.

The second group featured Costa Rica and England among others wearing darker colors. The inspiration for these creations was the forthcoming FIFA World Cup in South Africa.

The third stage had a European Royal theme. The national representatives of Japan, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Macedonia and Montengro, among others, wore Napoleon style complete with war medallions.

The next segment was a wedding theme and the models wore grand tailcoats and pure white designs adorned with gold detail.

Korean court costumes inspired the fifth and final section of the show. The designs were modern interpretations of court clothing from the Three Kingdoms Period (57-668), Goryeo (918-1392) and Joseon Kingdoms (1392-1910).

The amazing outfits featured flower and dragon designs with bright blue, purple, white and golden colours. New Zealand modelled a purple design, “I never thought I’d wear a creation like this” he said.

“If previous fashion shows highlighted feminine beauty for the delight of men, this event features beautiful masculine styles for women to marvel at,” said Kim, Korea’s top designer.

The Mr World contestants were also being judged as they strutted down the catwalk. Chairman of MWO Julia Morley along with Andre Kim, the first ever Mr World Tom Nuyens, Miss World 2007 Zhang Zilin, Miss World 2009 Kaiane Aldorino and Miss Korea Kim Joo-ri were sitting at the end of the catwalk on the panel.

After the show the men came out in their own suits and the top twenty were announced as Brazil, Nigeria, Netherlands, Bahamas, Hong Kong China, Romania, Lebanon, Bulgaria, Norway, Egypt, Korea, Angola, Germany, Czech Republic, Poland, China, Cyprus, Venezuela, Northern Ireland and India.

The finalists were cheered by the crowd as they eagerly anticipated the final results. Third place was Netherlands, our tallest contestant at 202cm, second was Czech Republic and the Top Model winner was Brazil. He will now go into the Mr World Semi Final.
