Elite ♥ Bora Aksu

For the second time in as many Seasons, Elite girls took to the catwalk for designer Bora Aksu in an exclusive...this time round as part of Istanbul Fashion Week. We think our girls looked incredible in the now distinctive Bora Aksu designs and would like to take this opportunity to thank our good friend, super producer Luke Foy for making all this happen again!

Beauty on the streets of Paris

We can’t keep up with the stream of September issue gems featuring Elite models that are flooding in! Our latest favourite comes in the form of Constance Jablonski’s beauty story for Vogue Paris, shot by Inez van Lamsweerde and co-starring some rather fabulous Dior and Buccellati diamonds. Following her captivating Estee Lauder campaign, Constance lends her face once again to beauty as she demonstrates A/W’s most dramatic makeup trends as she travels through the streets of Paris...not even Vogue can resist a cheeky Eiffel Tower tourist snap!

Turkish delights

That's right. We've descended upon sunny Turkey with an army of Elite girls, ready to take over Istanbul Fashion Week. Helen, Sadie and Laura (above) will join seven of our other finest faces for the Bora Aksu show this evening. Stay tuned for all the footage.

Elite London's on a Scottish manhunt

Following the success of soon to be Topman campaign star Louis Galloway, Elite London will be supporting our friends over at The Model Team in Glasgow who are on a mission to reinvent the image of a Scottish male model. Yes we will be helping them move away from the stereotypical kilt wearing, porridge eating images that we are so used to seeing and get more Scottish boys on the catwalk and into campaigns through The Model Team’s Male Model Competition which launched last week in association with Harvey Nichols Edinburgh. Inspiration for all applicants comes in the form of Elites rising star Louis Galloway who is taking the first steps in transforming the face of the Scottish modelling scence by landing the Topman campaign which will be revealed next week.

you can take the boy out of Scotland....but we failed to remove the tartan...

Sigrid sweeps the board

Superstar Sigrid Agrens career reaches dizzying new heights this Season as we see her front three major campaigns. Prada, Alberta Ferretti and Celine all chose Sigrid to represent their brand and its not hard to see why...a true flawless beauty, Sigrid is one of our most in demand models and looks set to dominate Fashion Week in September.

Watch out London...Rivers in town

Its not only the Elite girls that are dominating the campaigns this Season...Elite Londons freshly formed mens board is also home to a few A/W campaign stars. Check out River Delfin in American Eagle Jeans, epitomising dressed down LA cool in this Calvin Klein-esque, black and white group shot.

River is also fronting the campaign for Spanish label Bershka and we cant get enough of these super fun shots showcasing the brands winter collection.

River himself will be in town next week and we can hardly wait to see what London has in store for our boy.

James Sorrentino...GQ's Essential

Still relatively new to the game, Brit boy James Sorrentino has already taken to the cover of man bible GQ Essentials this month, showing us what’s hot in menswear this Season... Another September Issue cover for Elite London!

Hannah Noble...you heard it here first

Fresh from Elite Model Look UK, Hannah Noble is already creating some major waves in the fashion world and set to be our break out star of the Season. Buzz around this Birmingham scouted beauty started the second she stepped off the EML UK final catwalk and Hannah is already booking some serious editorials...not bad for her first week as a full time model! So stay posted, we guarantee this girl is going to be a star.

The rise & rise of Caroline Brasch Nielson

Dansk A/W 2010

What a Season it’s been so far for Danish EML star Caroline Brasch Nielson who has been raking in some serious campaigns, covers and editorials... Following in the footsteps of previous EML alumni superstars, Caroline looks set to dominate the shows this coming Fashion Week following an incredible opening season which saw her taking to the catwalk for designers such as Balenciaga, Chanel, Miu Miu, Louis Vuitton and Givenchy

Lets shop!

Not that we need an excuse... Constance Jablonski gives us her best ‘i-D wink’ on the cover of Vogue Germany’s September issue, literally covered in designer labels...

Shot by Greg Kadel and bursting with energy this cover has us coveting yet another trend for this Season...let's shop!

Honey...we like your style

As much as we love seeing all the new A/W campaigns featuring our gorgeous models coming in, the likelihood of us running out to purchase this seasons must have D&G knitwear is slim to none. You can imagine our excitement when these gorgeous snaps of Elite rising star Honey hit our desks...Prada, Chanel, Burberry?? Nope guess again...Honey is in fact sporting the latest collection from Primark, nailing every single key trend that strutted down the catwalk earlier this year. Festival find Honey pulls off every look in a way that’s making us want to skip right into Autumn!

The September Issue

Wow...Vogue China celebrates its 5th anniversary with this breathtaking dual cover for its September Issue, celebrating the phenomenal Asian talent dominating the modelling industry at the moment. Elite superstars Fei Fei Sun and Ming Xi show us why they dominate LFW when they’re in town and in our opinion (obviously) steal the show in this cast of beauties working both the classical and modern looks, decked out in divine Alexander Wang. Our favourite September Issue so far...

An Elite Invasion!

We’re always proud when an Elite model graces the pages of a magazine so when our very own Image Coordinator Marco Majocchi went behind the lens to shoot Jade Mezzard for Moose Magazine we were positively bursting with pride when these military inspired shots hit our inbox. Looks like we should keep it in the family more often!

Ski Bunny Simona

The September issues and campaigns are in and that can only mean one thing in fashion...Autumn/Winter collections are ready and waiting to fill our wardrobes! We know its technically still summertime but here in Elite towers we are already falling for the gorgeous trends set to take over as soon as the temperature drops. Check out Elite’s Simona Andrejic sporting the ultimate in après ski chic in D&G’s latest campaign shot by the one and only Mario Testino. With Elite Model Look still fresh in our minds it’s hard to believe that this time last year Simona was a contestant herself...2010 EML girls take note!
