Model Maker Mentors is back in NYC and WE WANT YOU!!!!




 Model Maker Mentors is an affiliate of Catherine Schuller Enterprises, LLC. The program was recently started back up by Schuller as one of her many efforts to make fashion and the industry accessible to everyone. Schuller has been quoted many times saying "I just want to be the person I wish I had met when I moved to New York." This program is a working testament of her doing exactly that! In 1996 Schuller wrote a model manual titled "The Ultimate Plus Size Modeling Guide" (which at one point a signed copy on eBay and Amazon was listed $300.00+ USD) Signed mint condition copies may still be found, but it could be around $125.00USD. As the Plus Size world has evolved, as well as the fashion industry, Schuller decided it was time to modernize the program. 



Available on Amazon Books

In preparation for composing an up to date version of the manual for the ENTIRE industry which is to include what Catherine Schuller calls "The ABC's of Modeling", and "Model Etiquette", Schuller has decided to bring Model Maker Mentors back to NYC where it all started! The former Ford plus size model, and former style editor of MODE Magazine, has enlisted help from some of the best runway and editorial model coaches in the city, as well as stylists, designers, and photographers to bring the hands on, up close and personal model mentoring program back to "The Big Apple!" 

This program has an infinite number of benefits, but is not for the faint of heart. If you are serious about taking your modeling career to the next level, plus or straight, male or female...or if you just want some last minute runway tweaks before fashion week this is an opportunity you do not want to miss! Need some posing perks? That's another exclusive offering. The new home of Catherine Schuller's inclusive catwalk show, "Runway the Real Way", will be utilizing freeze modeling and tableau group scenarios throughout the four floors of galleries. This is not easy and requires composition and composure, not to mention a good dollop of discipline to make this physical stuff look engaging and not contrived or self-conscious. During the session, participants will learn the ins and outs of two aspects of modeling that will certainly differentiate you from here on out!

As an ode to Fashion Week, Schuller decided to offer these classes at an "exclusive to New York" package rate of $25.00! The package includes:

Registration fee 
A group consultation facilitated by "Catwalk Extraordinaire" Fanta Camara 
One on one walking and posing instruction also with Fanta Camara (as well as other surprise guest throughout the session)
A light brunch will be provided to participants as well as token bags to include some goodies and take home tip sheets (which will include excerpts from the original "Ultimate Plus Size Modeling Guide" as well as the new modeling guide project. Valued at more than $200.00 USD total!!)
Participants who display an already well rounded understanding of runway, posing, and etiquette will automatically be cast in an actual NY Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2015 show (providing you also meet designer size needs and age requirements.) 

Because we want to provide the highest quality of this program and also ensure everyone receives the proper coaching and adequate time with the mentors, SPACE IS LIMITED!!!! Sign up now to lock in your slot! Good Luck! And hope to see you there!

Museum of Sex's 'PLAY' Restaurant to Launch "Fifty Shades of Fashion" Show Brunch For VALENTNE'S 'GET STEAMY' WEEKEND

For Immediate Release                                                             February 2, 2015




New York, New York – The popular Saturday fashion brunch known as Runway the Real Way (RTRW) created and curated by former Ford Model and plus size advocate, Catherine Schuller, has changed venues from the Dojo Restaurant at the YOTEL HOTEL in Times Square to the restaurant PLAY within the Museum of Sex located north of the Flatiron District in NYC.  The fashion brunch has been host to hundreds of designers, models, photographers and produced over 60 shows within the past two years at the YOTEL. RTRW is a fashion show entity that produces fashion shows based on diversity and innovative integration and features all sizes, shapes, genders, heights, ethnicities, persuasions on what is called the “inclusive catwalk.”  The Runway is a metaphor for life -- every day is a fashion show and the world is your runway!”  She goes on to say, “Inclusivity is just good for business!”



With the YOTEL doing major restructuring and renovations beginning January 1, the RTRW brunch had to look elsewhere for a home. Marvin Coleman of Capital M Enterprises, LLC had seen the excitement around the brunch at the Yotel and invited Schuller to meet his friend Sasha K. who runs daily operations in PLAY and coordinates special events for The Museum of Sex. After visiting the fashion event at the YOTEL and meeting Catherine, he was inspired to invite the brunch brigade with its merry supporters of fans, models, designers, stylists, makeup and hair artists, not to mention a band of photographers and backstage denizens, to build out a new destination brunch spot at the laid back lair. “The PLAY den/space has a lot of potential and an undiscovered vibe” says Coleman.  Together they have created a customized RTRW brunch format just for Play@MoSEX which will launch on Valentine’s weekend, Sunday February 15. This will be a tie-in to New York Fashion Week and will include a light brunch format based on serving small 'AppeTeasers,' 
edible plated pleasures, that have a “tapas fare” feel with free flowing drinks – Bellini, Mimosa, Bloody Marys and Red/White Sangria ($50 per person).  Purchase Tickets in advance Via our Event bright

Seating for guests will begin at 12:00pm with a 'Fifty Shades of Fashion' show at 1:00pm  The second seating will be 2:15pm for 2:30- 4:30pm with another repeat fashion show at 3:30pm.    Models will be freeze modeling in the front street window before and after the shows and also walk throughout the galleries, modeling the designer’s clothing and fraternizing with patrons posing individually and in tableau type groups.  Free flowing fun will keep the pace lively. “Our goal is reinventing the space to keep it “Play”-ful and work against the obvious sexual fashion choices and strive for real NYC style,” adds Coleman.

Another aspect of RTRW is Stylaga, a fashion social networking app, which features live fashion show shopping right at the moment the clothing is on the runway that day in real time.  Stylaga’s Eugene Kay lends an e-commerce immediacy and delivers cutting edge fashion tech savvy to the ambiance.    Stylaga creates a video of the event as well for its YouTube channel and affords brunchers the luxury of purchasing the clothing right then in real time -- “From Our Catwalk to Your Closet.”   Designers include Rufus Dixon, Fantasia Veneziana, Valerie Simoes Designs, Anna Lyndley, and Sarah Bunn of Bunn Funn, tying in her creative couture canvases of Who’s Your Hero collection celebrating Black History Month.   Fifty Shades of Fashion will feature men’s elegant bespoke wear from Designer DeDeAllure’s “Montage Manhattan” menswear line, just like Mr. Grey wears in the movie, Fifty Shades of Grey premiering on V-day as well.   Topping it off, House of Roderick will donate exquisite jewelry to create the exact accessory to complement the looks with his beautiful and quality designs.  Love is in the air as there may even be some surprise performances and audience participatory games for prizes and giveaways.  Hubert’s Lemonade will be distributing delicious lemonade in several flavors for patrons to sample.  Straight or mixed with alcohol, it’s a great sipping treat. Ecoco Inc. has a hair care blend product and will be passing out goody bags to patrons during both brunches.   Sponsors are signing on daily.  Key Hair and Makeup is provided by GothamBeauty Lounge in New York City.   Sure to be a sell out, RSVPs are required.  Please call to reserve your place at NYC’s hottest V-day brunch.  Email runwaytherealway11@gmail.com Call Catherine Schuller Directly (646)4348526 or call the Museum for more information at (212) 689-6337.
