2015新丝路北美时尚盛典总决赛暨时尚盛典晚会于2015年2月17日晚在加拿大BC省列治文河石剧院盛大开幕。近千名北美时尚界名流及媒体人士汇聚一堂，共同见证了这一北美时尚及文化交流领域的历史性时刻。
2015新丝路北美时尚盛典是由中国网络电视台、中国新丝路模特机构、CNTVNA.COM和东方之星传媒Orient Star Media共同主办，由加拿大J.li Models模特经纪公司承办，由华侨之声广播电台、中国日报、星岛传媒集团、环球东方加拿大共同协办的北美大型时尚赛事,旨在发掘北美优秀的模特人才，推动中西方时尚潮流的融合，同时为北美主流社会的多族裔民众奉献精彩的时尚视觉盛宴。
本届时尚盛典自2014年11月1日启动以来，共有超过200名选手通过大赛的网络平台报名参赛。经过数轮严格的面试及激烈的网上投票等环节，15强选手脱颖而出。她们经过长达两个月的专业模特培训，在新丝路北美时尚盛典晚会的T台上华丽亮相，争夺当晚颁发的冠、亚、季军，最上镜模特奖、最佳台风奖和网络最受欢迎模特奖在内的六项大奖。
盛典以15强选手的现代芭蕾舞表演拉开了序幕。15位模特身着象征着热情与吉祥的红裙亮相，曼妙的舞姿令到场观众为之喝彩。
在当晚的比赛环节当中，选手们分别身着由本地新锐设计师所设计的日常装束、特别定制的中国风泳装、以及华丽的晚礼服，向观众和评审们展示台步风采。当选手们身着剪裁合体的青花瓷泳装登上舞台，现场顿时弥漫起浓厚的东方神秘之美，东方韵味与青春活力在15位选手身上的巧妙结合与体现，令在场观众眼前为之一亮。
来自温哥华本地的艺术团体及乐队也在当晚献上了精彩演出。由杨小花舞蹈学院舞蹈演员表演的中国舞《大唐贵妃》，让现场观众领略到了东方传统艺术的魅力；温哥华知名乐队Simpson Brothers Band带来的现场表演，将气氛引向高潮。
包括冠、亚、季军在内的六项大奖花落谁家，无疑是当晚的重头戏和最大的悬念。在所有比赛环节和现场表演结束后，15位模特依次走上舞台，等待主持人揭晓奖项得主。8号选手Michelle Gieschen以当晚的精彩表现，一举赢得2015新丝路北美时尚盛典年度总冠军的桂冠；11号选手Emily Beth及1号选手Jacqueline Liu分获当晚的亚军及季军。7号选手Kara Zhang、13号选手Rachel Lee Mandi、以及1号选手Jacqueline Liu分别获得“最佳台风奖”、“最上镜模特奖”以及“网络最受欢迎模特奖”。
作为本届新丝路北美时尚盛典的冠军，MichelleGieschen将直接晋级2015中国新丝路模特大赛总决赛，同时也将成为CNTVNA.COM时尚频道首位网络代言人，首位时尚频道网络封面人物，并参与时尚频道的一系列节目的制作。六位获奖者均可获得与新丝路时尚机构合作及参与CNTVNA.COM时尚频道大型节目制作的机会。
此次盛典恰逢中国农历除夕，即将迎来农历羊年，主办方在现场向来宾特别介绍了中国人庆祝春节的必备“大餐”——中央电视台的春节联欢晚会，并邀请大家共同关注这一拥有全世界最多观众的综艺视听盛宴。
2015新丝路北美时尚盛典将拥有模特梦想、渴望在国际舞台上展露头角的东西方年轻人汇聚在一起，分享她们对时尚的诠释与热情，为东西方时尚理念和人文思想的频繁交流提供了极大的空间，其意义已经远远超越了一场单纯的时尚活动。就像2000年前连接中国与西方的丝绸之路一样，今天的时尚盛典也为中西方时尚、文化的交流共融开辟了一条“新丝绸之路”。
‘New Cover’Fashion Glamour Night attracts hundreds of fashion and media glitterati
The grand finale of the 2015 ‘New Cover’New Silk Road North America Fashion Glamour took place at Canada’s River Rock Theatre on the evening of February 17, 2015. A huge fashion and media crowd of nearly 1,000 individuals were at the ceremony to witness the historic moment in the fashion and culture arenas.
The 2015 ‘New Cover’New Silk Road North America Fashion Glamour is organized by CNTV, New Silk Road Modeling Agency, CNTVNA.COM, Orient Star Media Inc. and is presented by J Li. Models. CHMB AM1320, China Daily USA, Sing Tao Media Group, G&E Studio Vancouver Inc., and Live China are the co-organizers of this year’s event. The competition aims to discover new model talents in North America, and to promote the integration of Chinese and western fashions.
More than 200 applicants showed their interests since the registration for the ‘New Cover’New Silk Road North America Fashion Glamour began on November 1, 2014. The top 15 stood out from all candidates after interviews and online voting. In the past two months, the 15 finalists have gone through a series of training sessions, which prepared them to compete for the six awards: the 2015 ‘New Cover’top three, the ‘Best Photogenic Model’, the ‘Best Catwalk’, and the ‘Most Popular Model Online’.
The Fashion Glamour Night opened with a modern ballet performance by the 15 finalists. The girls danced in red ballerina dresses which brought about a festive feeling. Their stunning appearance drew a cheer from the audience.
The final competition featured three rounds, in which the contestants walked across the stage in local designers’day wear collections, swimsuits inspired by traditional Chinese art, and finally the evening gowns. The blue and white porcelain-themedswimwear presentation, which combined mysterious oriental charm with the models’youthful vigour, impressed the audience the most.
The night was also not without performances of local artists. Chinese dance “Royal Datang”by dancers from the Cindy Yang Dance Academy showcased the beauty of traditional Chinese culture; and band performance by the Simpson Brothers Band brought vibrancy to the ceremony.
The Fashion Glamour Night was concluded with the awards presentation. Michelle Gieschenbeat out 14 other competitors, and was crowned the ‘New Cover’model of 2015. Emily Beth and Jacqueline Liu were the first and second runner-ups respectively. Rachel Lee Mandi, Kara Zhang, and Jacqueline Liu won the “Best Photogenic Model”, “Best Catwalk”, and “Most Popular Model Online”awards respectively.
By winning the 2015 ‘New Cover’competition, MichelleGieschen is also automatically qualified for the final of the 2015 New Silk Road Model Contest to be held in China later this year. She is also becoming the first-ever ambassador for CNTVNA.COM’s Fashion Channel, as well as being featured in a series of fashion photo shoots and special video projects.
Since the Fashion Glamour Night also coincided with Chinese New Year’s Eve, the organizers especially introduced the CCTV Spring Festival Gala – also known as the“spiritual family reunion dinner” in China– to all the guests, and invited everyone to check out this most-watched annual audio-visual feast.
The 2015 ‘New Cover’New Silk Road North America Fashion Glamour gathered young people who are passionate about a career in modeling, regardless of ethnicity and race, to share with each other their thoughts on fashion. The event has contributed greatly to connecting people and ideas from two sides of the globe, and it has indeed gone beyond fashion. Just like how the ancient Silk Road first brought contact between China and the west, the 2015 ‘New Cover’is acting as the “new”Silk Road through which modern Chinese culture spreads to, and takes root in western countries.
