PROVIDENCIALES, Turks and Caicos Islands; Wednesday, 1st July 2026 – The organisers of TCI Top Model hosted “Cover Model", a meet-and-greet on Friday 26 June at Cocktail Perfetto, The Hub, Grace Bay. The event offered guests the chance to meet three cover models, Trevor Watkins, TCI Top Model 2026; Shakem Charles, TCI Top Model 2025; and Hu Prospere, 1st Runner-up, TCI Top Model 2025 — all of whom have appeared on editorial and magazine covers within the past nine months: Shakem (Times of the Islands, Fall 2025); Trevor (Times of the Islands, Spring 2026); and Hu (Discover Turks and Caicos, 2026). Family, friends, partners and fashion enthusiasts were invited to celebrate their achievements.

Attendees enjoyed an elegant evening featuring large billboards of the covers displayed around the room, alongside copies of the issues available to take home. The event provided aspiring creatives and fashion lovers with an opportunity to meet the models, pose for photographs and take away tangible examples of local talent and publication.

There is still work to be done, but tonight confirms that, with the support of our partners and community, we are laying the foundations for a thriving fashion and creative-arts scene in the Turks and Caicos. These magazines are a vivid reminder that creativity, beauty and talent flourish here.”
