Aspiring models and those hungry to get more of their model-themed reality television fix can look forward to the premiere of “The Face” on DIVA Universal tonight, on August 26, every Monday at 8pm.

Set in New York City, iconic fashion supermodels, Naomi Campbell, Karolina Kurkova and Coco Rocha play mentors and will handpick teams of 12 model wannabes. They will then coach and pit them against the models on the other teams until eventually, one is chosen as “The Face”.

Each week, the girls face test shoot challenges, individual challenges, and team campaigns as part of the grueling competition to be the new ambassador of a beauty brand. Hosted by Nigel Barker (“America’s Next Top Model”), the contestants include mothers, students, models and former pageant winners from the US, Canada, China and Australia.

While plenty of tears and nail-biting catfight drama is expected, especially from Naomi Campbell who is infamous for her tantrums, the contestants are also closely coached by
their mentors on what it takes to be a top model- from knowing your best sides for the camera, how to strut on the runway and taking that perfect picture.

The Face takes you deep into the world of fashion and promises to scintillate and entertain. So grab your front seats, but keep a safe distance. Because when a bevy of beauties slug it out, you can bet the results are anything but pretty!



The Face premieres on August 26, Monday at 8pm, DIVA Universal (StarHub TV Ch 522)
