Mr Teen Zimbabwe founder, Ishmael said the event was a success.
“At a time that the modelling industry has been on halt as we can’t go on the ramp and showcase for a live audience, we’re happy to have streamed the whole pageant successfully.
“The event managed to attract new names in the modelling industry and that proves that our mission of unpacking new male modelling talent in the country is bearing fruits.”
Ishmael said they were grateful to well-wishers who went out of their way to make sure that the event was a success.
