South Carolina is the epicenter for Beauty Pageantry and the competition is fierce. All the contestants need to submit a portfolio for competition. These portfolios are subsequently used for submission to modeling agencies. Beautiful girls and couture fashion complement both fashion and striking portfolios.
CMMS Studio has been working with Tanya-Marie Design, a couture fashion design and retail shop in the Miami Fashion District highlighting the artistry of these unique fashion pieces. Finalists from the Miss South Carolina USA pageant have been showcased wearing this luxurious clothing.
