PHOTO: 2008 Elite Model Look For Croatia Chosen

ZAGREB, CROATIA – A jury of experts has selected his year`s Croatian Elite Model Look winner at Zagreb`s oldest hotel, the Regent Esplanade, with a few technical difficulties. The winner. 16-year-old Dumina T. will represent Croatia in China on November 15.

Even though Croatian celebrities of the musical and political scene were in the front row, the pageant had a casual atmosphere about it. The hosts Nikolina Pisek of “Operation Triumph” and Red Carpet`s Danijel Delale have once again proved they were real professionals and were excellent, spicing up the competition with their witty remarks.

The jury did not have it easy, but as stylist Neven Ciganovic says, they chose the type of a girl that is now wanted.

The contestants presented an exclusive fashion show by Mura, which was away from the home fashion scene for quite some time. The pageant`s motto, Being glamorous and being humane, justified its name because 150,000 kunas (approximately 20,500 euros) were raised for the Ana Rukavina foundation, which collects bone marrow for patients who need transplants. The organiser, Snjezana Mehun, donated 50,000 kunas herself.
