FASHION WEEK ALABAMA NEXT TOP MODEL WALK-OFF WINNERS 2017-18 (Zoe & Ty are both styled by Shauntana Buchanan (IG @the_modish_shopper) | Belk @ Bridge Street )

ZOE JONES | In her own words My name is ZoĂŤ Nicole Jones, former military brat from Heidelberg Germany, I'm currently a graduate from Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical University with honors in my field of study which was piano pedagogy minor in psychology. I currently teach piano at a conservatory part time. It leaves me room to pursue my passion of modeling. I got into modeling originally to boost self confidence because as a child I didn't have any. Any child that is different is deemed the center of ridicule. I want to change that. The classification for beauty has changed. It's not one set look, there are different shades, sizes, and shapes, etc.

I wanted the opportunity to be apart of that- reaching that platform ito glorify God and to help others, it's not about me, it's never been... its all God. Through this experience given to me by AFA, it's truly humbling and a definite blessing!

I've learned how to work with others doing group shoots, traveling, and building my portfolio. It's a true blessing to be apart of this organization, and I'm still growing still learning. All I can say is keep your eyes on me. "If you didn't try, then you've already failed."

TY THOMAS | In his own words My name is Ty Albert Haley Thomas, I am from Huntsville Alabama by way of Dublin Ireland and Munich Germany. I am currently a student at Calhoun Community College, where I'm focused on achieving my communications degree, and work at Furniture Row as a warehouse manager.

I got into modeling when my mother and all my friends suggest that I try it, and it has been nothing but a great confidence boost as I was always shy. My experience has been exceptional at AFA (Alabama Fashion Alliance). I have met some wonderful people who have taught me so much about the business. Even though I am still new to this, I enjoy every moment of it and hopefully I will be a part of it for years to come.
