MOSSEL BAY NEWS - Mossel Bay model Gizelle (11), also known as Miss G, has been chosen for New York Fashion Week.
She took part in the International Modelling and Talent Association (IMTA) expo, the largest talent convention in the world.
There she was scouted and invited to walk the runway for fashion designer Amelia Tuu at New York Fashion Week on 11 September.
Gizelle says: "IMTA was an exciting experience for me and the fashion show was one of my favourite moments.
"Since I was a little girl, I've liked music, singing and dancing," she says. "My family encouraged me to take part in various events to gain experience. Modelling is my favourite."
On the music front, Gizelle booked an international collaboration with American singer-songwriter and producer Nate Butler. Nate has worked with multi-platinum artists such as Luther Vandross, Backstreet Boys, Victoria Beckham and more. He was also part of the casting team for the final season of The X-Factor, as well as America's Got Talent season nine and 10.
The single, set for release later this year, was recorded at Cosher Studios in Cape Town, together with producer Gino Lee.

"I am very honoured to be invited to New York Fashion Week," Gizelle exclaims.
"I am not nervous. I feel at home when I'm on stage. The runway is where I belong and I love showing off the different outfits."
Gizelle is one of the youngest artists to have travelled with the International Arts Talent Showcase South Africa group to attend IMTA.
She has on numerous occasions been recognised for her character and kindness on set. She says: "Always be yourself, work hard and follow your dreams, because dreams do come true."
