Elite Model Look is a yearly fashion modeling event held by Elite Model Management, an international model management group. It is used to discover and launch female fashion models in the international fashion marketplace, like the similar Ford Models' Supermodel of the World contest. Each year, hundreds of thousands contestants, typically between the ages of 14 and 18, compete in local contests for a chance to represent their country in the world final. Notable past contestants include Gisele Bündchen, Isabeli Fontana, Frederique van der Wal, Alessandra Ambrosio, Oxana Zubakova, Lara Stone, Fernanda Tavares, Ana Beatriz Barros, and Tatjana Patitz.
In past years, the US finals were recorded to make a television special The Making of a Supermodel, which aired on E! Entertainment Television.

Famous quotes containing the words elite and/or model:
“Much of what passes for quality on British television is no more than a reflection of the narrow elite which controls it and has always thought that its tastes were synonymous with quality.”
—Rupert Murdoch (b. 1931)
“The striking point about our model family is not simply the compete-compete, consume-consume style of life it urges us to follow.... The striking point, in the face of all the propaganda, is how few Americans actually live this way.”
—Louise Kapp Howe (b. 1934)
