The eight lucky models, who submitted their best poses through an online contest to qualify, received their very own photo-shoot, make-over and runway tips from Miss Singapore Universe 2011, Ms Valerie Lim, who also choreographed the Fashionably Bold show.

“Today, everyone is looking to make a statement not only with fashion but with their smartphones as well. Fashionably Bold showcases the popularity of the BlackBerry Bold portfolio in Singapore, while celebrating the lifestyle statement that both our black and white smartphones make. It is a celebration of functionality coupled with aunique sense of style that BlackBerry smartphones have,” said Charles Dufourcq, Country Director for RIM, Singapore. “We are also pleased to reward our customers who purchase BlackBerry smartphones with a 15% discount voucher from ZALORA and we hope the creations showcased this evening inspire their choices from ZALORA.”
