"WINK sponsored our event by providing 2 professional models to walk alongside our models with autism for our Model MATES Fashion Event at Westfield Eastgardens. As expected the models were both elegant and beautiful; however they were also beautiful on the inside. The 2 models, Madison and Alison interacted with our models, guiding and encouraging them. They interacted and took a real interest in our models, many of whom were very nervous, especially the young ones who were 4 and 6 years old. Thank you Wink for sponsoring the event and for sending us such beautiful souls; their beauty radiated from deep within and they are a credit to your agency."
