Preview: Louis Galloway stars in Topman film
Who better to personify the Topman spirit than our very own Louis Galloway? The silky-haired Scotsman is getting his film star debut in Laurence Ellis' beautiful new film campaign for Topman's autumn/winter denim range, launching Monday 4th of October.
Based on Louis as well as two other young men, three short films portray different faces of youth as seen through the eyes of the characters - and serve as an eternal memory of Louis' long-hair days. We miss his long locks!
Watch a preview of the film above - the full thing premieres on Monday 4th of October.

Ever wanted to know what goes on behind the scenes of your favourite Fashion Week Show? Our lovely friends at FTape went backstage at the Man SS 11 show armed with a camera to capture our male models enjoying some down time before they take to the catwalk...we’d like to say they were well behaved but we think from these shots you may come to your own conclusion! We were prepared for the madness, makeup and flashes of nudity but sock puppets and face pulling? Thats not what we teach them at the agency!

Maybe she’s born with it...maybe its Marie Claire!
Team Elite extended our Fashion Week marathon by heading down to the Marie Claire/Maybelline pop up shop in London’s Covent Garden for a day of scouting (and self indulgent makeup shopping!). we somehow managed to distract ourselves from the exclusive new Maybelline collection to hit the streets and the shop floor on a mission to find our very own future cover star...

Maria Sharapova Gallery 2010
After playing two exhibition tournaments in Asia, Sharapova officially began her season at the Australian Open, where she was upset in her first round by Maria Kirilenko. The loss meant that for the first time since 2003, Sharapova had lost her opening match at a Grand Slam event.[42] Immediately bouncing back, she competed in the Cellular South Cup, winning her 21st career WTA title and first of the year.[43]
At the BNP Paribas Open, Sharapova lost in the third round to Zheng Jie, aggravating a bruised bone on her right elbow in the process, which resulted in her eventual withdrawal from the Sony Ericsson Open,[44] and the Family Circle Cup.[45]
Returning at the 2010 Mutua Madrilena Madrid Open, Sharapova lost in the first round to Lucie Šafářová. She continued her French Open preparation at the Internationaux de Strasbourg with her first title on red clay and 22nd overall title.[46] Her brief clay season culminated with a third round loss to four-time champion Justine Henin at the French Open. It was her seventh loss to the Belgian in ten career meetings.
Sharapova began her preparations for Wimbledon by making the final of the AEGON Classic for the fourth time since 2007, losing there to Li Na. As the 16th seed at Wimbledon, she made it to the fourth round before losing to world No. 1 and eventual champion Serena Williams, despite having three set points in the opening set.[47] The match was seen as another encouraging performance for Sharapova, with some stating their belief that she was approaching the form that would see her contending for Grand Slams once more,[48] and Sharapova herself stating she feels that she is "in a much better spot than I was last year."[49]
Sharapova started her US Open Series campaign in Stanford. She won her opening two matches against World No. 23 Jie Zheng and World No. 43 Olga Govortsova in straight sets. In the quarterfinals she defeated World No. 6 Elena Dementieva in three sets and 2 hours and 47 minutes. She then beat World No. 11 Agnieszka Radwańska to advance to the final where she played World No. 18 Victoria Azarenka and was defeated in straight sets. Her next tournament was the Western and Southern Financial Group Women's Open, starting August 9. This was her debut appearance at this venue. She defeated her 1st round opponent Svetlana Kuznetsova in 2 hours and 12 minutes 6–4 1–6 6–2. In the second round, Sharapova overcame Andrea Petkovic in straight sets. Sharapova then defeated Agnieszka Radwańska for the second time this year where she advanced to the quarterfinals. She then reached the semifinals after she won her match against Marion Bartoli 6–1 6–4. Sharapova advanced into her fifth final of the year after beating compatriot Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in over 2 hours. She then lost to Kim Clijsters in three sets in the final after losing 3 championship points in the second set. Sharapova pulled out of the 2010 Rogers Cup in Montreal due to a heel injury suffered during the match with Clijsters.
At the 2010 U.S. Open, Maria defeated Australian Jarmila Groth 4–6, 6–3, 6–1 in the first round. She faced Iveta Benesova in the second round and won 6–1, 6–2. She defeated American wildcard Beatrice Capra 6–0, 6–0 in the third round. This was Maria's second career double bagel. Her first such win was against Bethanie Mattek-Sands a few years ago. Sharapova faced top seed Caroline Wozniacki in the round of 16, and went on to lose 6–3, 6–4. Maria hit more winners than the number one seed, but committed more unforced errors which resulted in her first ever loss to the Dane. The loss also marked the first season where Sharapova did not go past the round of 16 in any of the four Grand Slams since her Grand Slam debut in 2003.
Maria's next scheduled tournament is the Toray Pan Pacific Open in Toyko, where she has to defend her title.

Maria Sharapova Oops 2009 2010 2011
Maria Yuryevna Sharapova (Russian: About this sound Мари́я Ю́рьевна Шара́пова (help·info), Mariya Yur’evna Sha'rapova [pronounced sha-RAH-po-va] Russian pronunciation: [mɐˈrʲijə ʂɐˈrapəvə]; born April 19, 1987) is a former World No. 1 Russian professional tennis player. Sharapova has won 22 WTA singles titles, 3 WTA doubles titles and 3 Grand Slam singles titles, including 2004 Wimbledon, 2006 US Open and 2008 Australian Open. She was also runner-up at the 2007 Australian Open. She has also won the year-ending Sony Ericsson Championships in 2004. The Women's Tennis Association has ranked her World No. 1 in singles on 4 separate occasions. She regained this ranking for the fourth time on May 19, 2008. She became the World No. 1 for the first time on Aug 22, 2005. She is currently ranked World No. 14.
Sharapova made her professional breakthrough in 2004 when, at age 17, she upset two-time defending champion and top seed Serena Williams in the 2004 Wimbledon final for her first Grand Slam singles title. She entered the top ten of the WTA Rankings with this win. Despite not winning a major in 2005, Sharapova briefly held the number one ranking, and reached three Grand Slam semifinals, losing to the eventual champion each time. She ultimately won her second major at the 2006 US Open defeating then-World No. 1 Amélie Mauresmo in the semifinals and World No. 2 Justine Henin in the final. Sharapova's 2007 season was plagued with a chronic shoulder injury, and saw her ranking fall out of the top 5 for the first time in two years. She ultimately won her third Grand Slam at the 2008 Australian Open, defeating Henin in the quarterfinals and Ana Ivanović in the final. After reclaiming the number one ranking in May 2008, Sharapova's shoulder problems re-surfaced, ultimately requiring surgery in October and forcing her out of the game for nearly ten months. Sharapova returned in May 2009 and was ranked No. 126 in the world due to her extensive lay-off. Since her comeback, Sharapova has won 3 singles titles (bringing her career total to 22) and recovered her ranking to World No. 12.
Sharapova's public profile extends beyond tennis, as she has been featured in a number of modeling assignments, including a feature in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. Also she has been featured in many advertisements including Nike, Prince, Canon and many more, also being the face of many fashion houses, primarily Cole Haan. Sharapova was the most searched-for athlete on Yahoo! in both 2005 and 2008. Since February 2007, she has been a United Nations Development Project Goodwill Ambassador, concerned specifically with the Chernobyl Recovery and Development Programme.
