The  gardens of the Crowne Plaza Sanya, home to Miss World in China, formed  the spectacular background to this year’s fashion show, which also  provided judges with chance to decide on the Miss World Top Designer  Award.  Contestants competed for this prestigious award by showing off  creations from up-an-coming as well as established fashion designers in  their own countries, to celebrate the beauty of women from around the  world.
 This  year standards were particularly high, making it challenging for the  judging panel to pick the dress that, in their eyes, most epitomises  today’s high fashion.  Many countries were keen to win this year’s  designer award and had made sure they showed the best their country has  to offer.

 After  the girls had shown their dresses at their very best, the judging panel  announced a shortlist of twenty dresses, from which the final three  were selected. Out of these remaining hopefuls the winning dress was  announced as from French Polynesia, by a designer, Nelson.
