Nepal’s premier modeling competition, En Vogue Season 11, made a powerful comeback with its grand auditions held on Saturday, July 5, at Nepa Sa Venue, GAA Hall Thamel (near Chhaya Center). With a legacy of launching successful modeling careers, this year’s edition came back bigger, bolder, and more inclusive, continuing its role as the ultimate platform for aspiring models in Nepal.
En Vogue Season 11 Auditions: A Gateway to Stardom
A huge number of aspiring models participated in the auditions, bringing high energy and fierce determination to the runway. Contestants showcased their modeling skills, creativity, and confidence in front of a panel of fashion industry experts. The event was organized by House of Fashion Nepal (HOF) in association with Nepa Sa Audio Visual.
En Vogue Jury Panel Highlights
The jury panel consisted of three renowned professionals:
- Utkrista Khadka – Fashion Designer & Stylist
- Mingma Chhimi – Director, HOF Nails & Beauty
- Gautam Dhimal – Filmmaker & Photographer

These judges were looking for boldness, originality, and stage presence. While many gave their best, two contestants stood out:
- Diwash Bikram Singh (18) earned a direct entry from Judge Mingma Chhimi for his bold presence and confidence.
- Pragya Gautam (18) impressed Judge Gautam Dhimal with her fierce ramp walk, earning an unpredictable direct entry.
Judge Utkrista Khadka chose not to use his direct entry card, maintaining high expectations for the contestants.

Beyond the Ramp Walk
The auditions were not limited to runway walks. Contestants displayed diverse talents, including singing, dancing, acting, and strength. For some, their self-assurance and authenticity spoke louder than any performance. Before the auditions began, Wasim Malik, Managing Director of HOF, gave an encouraging orientation. The show opened with a special ramp walk by HOF figures, including renowned fashion choreographer Vimal Kumar Pun.
