Update: Model Jazzelle Zanaughtti learns to vogue within the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Story ‘How To’

Jazzelle Zanaughtti, a.k.a. (@UglyWorldWide) has kick-started Mercedes-Benz’ latest How To fashion story (outlined below) with an interactive event in Oslo.

Guests joined Jazzelle in learning to vogue (a form of dance), with the help of voguing expert Jay Jay Revlon.

Thanks to renaissance figures like Kiddy Smile and Brooke Candy, but obviously Madonna if you go slightly further back, ‘voguing’ is enjoying great popularity as a dance-form.

Jazzelle mastered how to vogue properly, before the industry-shaping model shared her newly acquired skills with guests - arranged in teams of up to 15.

More on the Mercedes-Benz 'How To' Series

Today begins a new and exciting chapter in the book of emerging fashion talent, with Mercedez-Benz announcing an iteration of their now infamous #mbcollective - a series called 'How To.'

The 'How To' series is aimed at inspiring people to adopt new skills and be creatively agile. With that in mind, Mercedes-Benz have called upon a number of already game-changing faces in the world of television, fashion and music, to spend 24-hours with a group of experts, learning a new skill.

These faces include: American actor, producer and screenwriter Lena Waithe, model Jazzelle Zanaughtti (aka @UglyWorldWide), singer Rina Sawayama and menswear designer Samuel Ross.

Kicking off this May with Jazzelle Zanaughtti, throughout 2019 each of these amazing people will spend 24 hours with a group of experts learning a new skill before demonstrating their aptitude that evening at an exclusive event. Members of the public will then be invited to participate in a masterclass so that they too can learn something new.

Throughout the year, Mercedes-Benz will also post a series of Instagram How To video guides under the hashtag #BenzKnowsHow.

We'll bring you more updates as they happen.
