After a stressful morning of catching our flights and going thru security in both Laguardia and Atlanta airports we landed in Wichita, Kansas with high expectations to find the next American superstar for New York Models. We found ourselves at the Towne East Mall in Wichita, Kansas where our dear friends at Models and Images put together a Back to School Model Search. Hundreds of boys and girls walked the runway in front of our eager eyes. Here's a peek at our first event:
