The Philippine Models Association of the Philippines (PMAP) celebrated their 20th anniversary last September 5 at The Peninsula Manila filled with nostalgia of fashion's past and present.
Two decades ago, Tina Maristela Ocampo, Ronnie Asuncion, and Robert David joined forces and created an organization aiming to “uplift, protect, and professionalize the modeling industry in the Philippines”.
PMAP was the first and only Asian association of models organized by models.
The celebration with a theme "Twenty Years of PMAP," showcased works by Auggie Cordero, Inno Sotto, Rajo Laurel, Ivarluski Aseron, Avel Bacudio, Vittorio, Mike de la Rosa, and Patrice Ramos-Diaz. The creations of Rhett Eala, Lulu Tan Gan, Antonio Garcia, Marden Iglesias, Gerry Katigbak, Jojie Lloren, Dennis Lustico, Anthony Nocom, Randy Ortiz, Frederick Peralta, Renee Salud, and Joey Samson were also modeled by past and current models of PMAP.

Size zero model Charlotte Carter turned down for being too skinny
The Zimbabwe born model Charlotte Carter was rejected by top London fashion agency for being too skinny.
Carter was told to gain weight if she wanted to work with Models 1.
The Model Health Inquiry recommended in an interim report in July that modeling agencies should have their models checked for eating disorders such as anorexia or bulimia, but failed to call for women who were too skinny to be banned from London Fashion Week.
