Shandi and April from "America's Next Top Model" Walk the Runways at SF Fashion Week

San Francisco - She went from "geek" to "chic" in front of millions of rapt viewers and now the stunning Shandi Sullivan, along with castmate April Wilkner from the UPN hit television show, "America's Next Top Model", will strut the catwalks during the first-ever San Francisco Fashion Week, August 26-29 at the Palace of Fine Arts.

This is the San Francisco debut for both girls, who are in high demand on runways across the globe following the success of “America’s Next Top Model”. The hit reality show followed 12 young women for 10 weeks as they competed to succeed in the stressful, high-stakes world of modeling. Supermodel Tyra Banks created the hit show, and led the panel of judges who narrowed the field week to week.

San Francisco Fashion Week promises the infusion of fashion, art, music, culture and style into a week-long series of events put on in a uniquely San Francisco style. In addition to fashion shows, the week also includes a number of swanky after parties featuring highly notable, trend-setting musical talent from around the globe. The popular DJ Jazzy Jeff will kick off San Francisco Fashion Week at the Grand Opening Party on Friday, August 27 at Suede. DJ Kascade from San Francisco’s legendary Om Records will make an appearance along with DJs from the prominent UK House record label Offset Music at Saturday’s party at the W San Francisco Hotel.
