1 organiser, 14 participants on one fateful day. Pindurai Mwakurudza aka Lady Vicious; with a bevy of multi-talented models; on the 22nd of March 2019.

The purpose of this show was to link up people in the fashion industry, Entertainment and professional business (companies, individuals, organizations, unions) together. This is a fashion showcase which also connects models in the business world. Models can be brand ambassadors, Advertising and Marketing agents, actresses who when connected to professional business people can change the business world into something big. I believe beauty makes the world go round. So instead of models being crowned and forgotten my shows will link them to companies who will work with them and employ them.Recently Pindurai did her first Red Carpet Show at Londoners Sports Club at Strathaven Shops in Harare dubbed Miss Red Carpet Londoners. The show was successful and 14 models contested and 4 were crowned. Asked how she managed to put up such a show this is what she said I love things and have loved things since I was born. My mom told me that when I was barely a day old I already started moving my neck side to side trying to check what’s happening and where I was…..kkkkkkkkkkkkk she giggles.I never wanted to say I can’t do anything. I told myself if someone can so can I and when I do something I do it in my way” she says. What inspired me to do a Red Carpet Show was the BAA awards in Bulawayo. I noticed how people loved Red Carpet interviews and found out that people in Zimbabwe really love things but they are starved of the things like these Red Carpet shows. So I vowed to myself that I won’t starve Zimbabweans for shows anymore, I am going to be one of the people to host such shows. So I approached Mrs Mubi the Londoners owner who is very supportive of Girl Child and artists. I told her my plan and she told me to plan everything and she will sponsor so that’s how my first Red Carpet Show became a reality…yipppee thanks to this kind, loving, generous lady Mrs Mubi. I spread the word about Red Carpet and word spread and models came for auditions and I came up with the 14.So in December 2018 I did a highlights show for the Red Carpet to taste the waters and it was successful again with all help from Mrs Mubi my dear friend to groom the models I approached Phill who I met at miss Plus Size by Icon Modelling Agency last year. So on models side I was sorted. I had the models and a groomer to help with routines and catwalks.I also worked with Propabless for models photo-shoots, Model Guide for models online magazine coverage and NY TV for live streaming and marketing, Uncle Paulito (God father) for sound engineering and PA system and lights to make the event successful and the event went smoothly thanks to these guys.
