Gainesville Fashion Week: Model Callbacks

Last night, we were lucky enough to be invited to be a guest judge for Gainesville Fashion Week's Model Callbacks. Almost 100 models lined up out the door and up the stairs to Sharab Lounge before they were outfitted with numbers and got ready to walk the makeshift "catwalk."

We enjoyed chatting with fellow judges Kara Winslow (from the Hippodrome), designer Bobby K and Wolfgang owner Matt Turner (among others) before the judging began. But when the music was turned up (waaaay up) it was all about business. The beautiful men and women had two chances to walk before the judges to decide who would and would not appear in April's Fashion Week—a hard task by any standards.

We were blown away by the options, and recognized both some past INsite models and some fresh faces. The final model lineup will be announced next week, and you can expect to see the fruits of their labor starting April 7. Here are some of our favorite moments from the night.

Interested in being a model? INsite is looking for candidates to be our next cover model. Winners and runners-up will represent the magazine at GFW and will receive a professional photo shoot and the chance to appear in the magazine. The winner will appear on the cover of a future issue of the magazine. For details and to apply, click here.
