Last Friday, both Chenese Lewis and PLUS Model Magazine hosted Ashley Stewart’s Coast to Coast Model Search in New York and Los Angeles. The model hopefuls came out to the NYC Flagship store in Harlem and the West Culver City store in Los Angeles despite the terrible weather we experienced on both coast.

PLUS Model Magazine and Chenese Lewis joined forces with Ashley Stewart to look for aspiring models who are photogenic, poses great personal style, inner glow, and exude confidence. The choice was very difficult for all of us, and narrowing them down further will be no easy task.
