Times of the Islands summer 2014 issue is set to hit newsstands today! On the cover and in an eight-page editorial spread is TCI’s newest Top Model, Brielle Swann. 

Having being named the FACE of the Turks and Caicos on Friday, May 2nd by industry experts in Providenciales, the Grand Turks native took the plunge in her first of many editorial photoshoots to come. The shoot, which took place at the award-winning Point Grace Resort – was the most picturesque location with its turn-of-the-century British Colonial architecture, lush tropical foliage, fantastic vistas and lavish furnishings; made the perfect backdrop for the safari themed spread.

The 2014 TCI Top Model, donned in outfits by Courtney Robinson Couture, Rosetta Talbot, L’été Boutique, shoes courtesy of Shoe Gallery along garments sourced by the TCI Top Model organizers – provided the 5’9” Cockburn Town ethereal beauty with a fabulous array of stylish ensembles.

Published photographer Renau Destine of Double R Media, who was assisted by Galacty Vancela -photographed Brielle in and around the property, and on the Point’s white sandy beaches.  On hand during the shoot was Courtney Robinson, Director of Production for the TCI Top Model Contest, who was also the shoot’s Fashion Editor.

The creative team also consisted of Kerietta Simpson, TCI Top Model Contest’s Head of Fashion and Grooming Fashion, who was the shoot’s hairstylist and makeup artist, transforming the Top Model, and Claire Parrish, Advertising Manager for Times Publishing.
