AT just 18 years old, Imogen Dubbel is already making waves in the world of fashion, philanthropy and pageantry.
Recently crowned Miss Teen Manly West, she is proving that beauty and intelligence go together.
Miss Dubbel, who is about to begin a Bachelor in Fashion Design, is combining her love for creativity with social impact.
She is currently running two initiatives: sewing 500 scrunchies from recycled clothing to support youth mental health, and creating pyjama and lingerie sets to raise money for domestic violence victims.
“I always wanted my designs to make a difference,” she said.
Her pageantry journey has also helped Miss Dubbel grow in confidence and character.
“It’s been really eye-opening – I’ve done public speaking, attended volunteer events, and even run dance circles, which are things I never thought I’d do before,” she said.
“This was my first pageant, I’ve never done anything like this before and it has genuinely changed my character, how I view the world, how I give back to people.”
Miss Dubbel, who dreams of designing wedding gowns and competing for the Miss Universe title, says earning the title of Miss Teen Manly West was a proud moment.
“I love where I live, and I want to represent it.”
With her determination and drive, Miss Dubbel is proving she is more than just a beauty queen, but a changemaker in the making.
“I’m giving my all to give back to my community and to women around the world,” she said. “I eventually want to spread my project where I’m raising money for women internationally, not just locally.”
