Entry for Malaysian
ASTM vol.1 in PARIS 2025 Audition
ASTM 1st (in Japan, the audition will be held from 2022 and this will be the 5th audition).
We are looking for models to participate in the Paris show.
Please take this opportunity to get a ticket for the world challenge.
What is “ASTM”?
ASTM” is a model audition by Japanese fashion designer ‘Chemi Akutami’.
The name “ASTM” is derived from the acronym ALWAYSUPPORTALENT Malaysia, which is an acronym for ALWAYSUPPORTALENT, the Monaco-based designer team to which Chemi herself belongs.
We let Asian models walk on the runway at overseas fashion weeks! Height and age do not matter.
We want to open a hole in the conventional concept of fashion shows.
We will first debut on the runways of Chemi-sponsored fashion shows and Always Supporting Asian Models, and then introduce Asian models who are active overseas to the world.
This project aims to produce Asian models who will be active overseas.
