SingTel Grid Girls 2012 – The Top Eight

2 August 2012, Singapore – This year’s top eight SingTel Grid Girls in the age range of 18 to 23 were presented at a press conference this afternoon.  The search for local faces at SingTel’s F1 roadshows held across Singapore previously saw many contenders participating.  This year only eight, instead of 12 girls in the previous years, were picked from a pool of 55 SingTel Grid Girls.  These eight girls vie for the top three spots who would be given the important role of holding the Singapore Formula One and Singapore GP flags at the race in September.

THE GIRLS

GG1 – Priscilla Lee – 22 year old student (170 cm tall) at SIM Management used to model, swims often and loves to travel.   She hopes to be a flight attendant one day.   She loves the atmosphere, the crowd and the adrenaline at the F1 track.

GG2 – Esther Leong – 23 year old recent graduate (164cm tall) who has started work as a Marketing Executive  also does part time modeling.  She likes travelling especially to her favourite countries Seoul and Taiwan.  Esther is an active girl and enjoys outdoor activities such as para-sailing, water rafting and ride ATVs.  She adores Sebastian Vettel.

GG3 – Arrian North – 18 year old model (169cm) who is also the youngest of the eight likes trying new things and would like to catch the F1 race for the experience one day.  Her mum is of Arabic origin while her dad is Australian New Zealander.  Recently completed her IB, she volunteers as a motivational speaker to secondary kids who are not interested in studying.  Her hobbies include modelling, exercising, rollerblading and yoga.  She has never watched the race and this year will be very exciting for her.

THE SINGTEL GRID GIRL UNIFORM

This year’s striking outfits were designed by local design talent, 26 year old Roslinda Abdul Rahman who won The Project Racetrack, an F1 fashion design competition that was integrated with 74-hour long fashion design training course conducted by the Textile and Fashion Industry Training Centre and Singapore WSQ Develop Design Collection.

Roslinda’s design concept evokes a sense of youthful energy and feminine glamour, inspired by the stylish functional wear on female tennis players.  She used a lightweight and water-resistant fabric so that the uniforms are stylish yet comfortable on the race tracks.   The uniforms are sponsored by local fashion design house ESTA PTE LTD.
