Now in its third year Model Prep 2011 was a beautiful occasion, not only because of the beauties and the industry powerhouses that showed up to lend support but more importantly because of its message of responsibility and compassion. The event featured speakers that ranged from top casting directors John Pfifer and Kanon Rajah mixed in with IMG stars like Lonneke and Lily Aldrige alongside experts on health and well being. In an industry that often times prompts you to think of a model as a disposable commodity, the care and concern with which IMG addressed its young charges served as an inspiration and a new ideal.
