'America's Next Top Model' Contestant to Walk the Runway at FAME 2008

Chicago, Ill. – You may have tuned in to watch her in hot competition on ‘America’s Next Top Model’ Cycle 9. On April 10, former contestant Heather Kuzmich will walk the runway much closer to home, showing off innovative and unique designs created by students at The Illinois Institute of Art – Chicago at FAME 2008.

The former ‘America’s Next Top Model’ contestant will participate in two fashion shows at the Fashion and Media Extravaganza to be held at the Harris Theater in Millennium Park, 205 East Randolph. The shows will run at 1 p.m. and 8 p.m.

Kuzmich, a native of Valparaiso, Indiana, got the fashion bug as a small child when she snuck backstage at a fashion show to see her sister walk the runway. She’s been hooked ever since.

When she is not in the studio or on the runway, Kuzmich is working toward her BFA in Game Art & Design at The Illinois Institute of Art – Chicago.
