April 27th 2014 marked another grand milestone for the island's fashion leading mall- Queensbay Mall for successfully organizing its annual Corporate Social Responsibility Program, Vogue For Virtue. For the uninitiated, the event has been successfully organized for every year over the past 5 years (you may read my previous experience here). This year, the 6th year to be precise, Vogue For Virtue 2014 has attracted more than 190 participants which comprises of both adults (male and female of course) and children. Similar to previous years, Vogue For Virtue has two major highlights: one-month long model search and charity fashion show event.
