EML FINAL - SHOWTIME!

4 days in and our 12 EML recruits are walking, talking and dressing like models... but can they pass the ultimate test - the FASHION SHOW?


Dress rehearsal gets underway




After a leisurely Thursday breakfast at the fashion-fabulous Mayfair hotel the girls strolled round to the final show venue, the incredible One Mayfair to crack on with the main event. Rehearsals got underway immediately, with the girls taking their first steps on a real catwalk under the guidance of last year's winner, Nyasha Matonhodze. 


Nyasha shows the girls how it's done


The terribly talented Toni & Guy Art Team were once again on hand to coif the girls to perfection, with celeb makeup artists Daniel Sandler  and his team supplying the makeup. All a-flutter in their Eylure lashes and ready to rock their Warehouse looks, the spotlight moment arrived for our finalists... look out for show and winner pictures here over the weekend!

EML FINAL - THE STYLE DAY

The week is flying by and now it's time for our 12 Elite Model Look finalists to chill out and enjoy the model lifestyle before tomorrow's big final show. The day started with a morning visit to the ultra-glam Urban Retreat at Harrods, where the girls were treated to makeup classes, skincare consultations, manicures and massages... all primped and preened and so relaxed we had to drag the dozing models off to their next appointment. Well they deserved a nap.... 








Another blast of catwalk workshop at the agency was followed by a trip to lovely style partner WAREHOUSE's flagship store in Argyll Street. The girls got the red carpet treatment as the store was closed especially for them to shop, while Warehouse's stylists helped them pick out the perfect model looks.






Just one sleep left before the big show!

EML FINAL - THE PHOTOSHOOT

With everyone getting to know each other, and a team of almost 20 getting are girls ready for their first major shoot, it was an action-packed if exhausting day for our little supermodels... the full shoot will be published soon but in the meantime here's a taster of the day.

EML FINAL - IT'S MAKEOVER DAY!

The Samsung Diva Elite Model Look Final Week stepped up to full speed on Monday with the first finalist workshops and the only bit of the week scarier than the catwalk... hair makeovers!


Our girls started the day with breakfast at the agency followed by a workshop and seed snack with Ian Marber, the Food Doctor, and then headed on to Toni & Guy's Oxford Street Academy for their makeovers with T&G's top session team. We created a fringe, two bobs, a bleach blonde, an Audrey Hepburn brunette, and used at least a thousand foils, and completely without tears too. High five, girls!

Meeting the Food Doctor

A catwalk workshop and quick spin on our new toy the EML BUS, finished the day off nicely. Next up, the photoshoot! We hope you're ready...

The top 12 girls to emerge from our 2010 casting tour are in town preparing for their catwalk debut at Thursday's Grand Final, and we are SO excited to finally have them all to ourselves for a week!  From the minute they arrived on Sunday the girls have been on the go, starting with fittings for their too-fabulous-for-words bespoke Warehouse dresses, choosing their skyscraper catwalk heels, and delving into goody bags including mobile phones, clothes and beauty products from our lovely sponsors Samsung Diva, Warehouse, Toni & Guy, Eylure and All for Eve.

WE'RE ON THE RIGHT LATITUDE!



This weekend's Elite field trip is to LATITUDE FESTIVAL in glorious Suffolk. Our team are dusting down their Glastonbury tents and getting ready for a slightly less scorching weekend of scouting fun, and will also be checking out the Waterfront Stage on Friday afternoon, where our gorgeous girlies (and the odd boy!) will be strutting their stuff on the underwater catwalk (yes - that's models WALKING ON WATER!), showing collections from Coco de Mer as well as the grad collections from St Martin's and Chelsea art colleges. We'll probably see you down the front for The National, Florence and Vampire Weekend too...


Elite new boy Charlie models the scouting-wear that will be seen in Suffolk this weekend... you know you want one!

TOTALLY T4


Another year, another amazing day at T4 on the Beach. Great music, a great atmosphere and almost great weather (just the traditional late afternoon splash of rain) makes Elite a very happy agency! And although we're all extremely tired, we know it was all worth it as we scouted an absolute haul of gorgeous girls.


With so many beautiful girls now attending the National Casting for Elite Model Look, the competition is fierce and we here at Elite London are keeping our fingers and toes crossed that one of our gorgeous UK girls will prove to be the winner of the world final to be held in Shanghai later this year.
