Face of Croydon

 

Yesterday was an enormous success. From the 120 would be models that applied 35 were selected and used extensively on the photographic shoot for the Fashion Enter designers. The shoot was carefully masterminded by Rodney Compton of Xyris and his trusty assistants Gemma and Jemima his daughter.

The shoot started at 9 am and went on until 8 pm and we literally had 100s of customers, moms and dads and other would be hopefuls arrive including Croydon Guardian who are covering the story.

We had a special guest appearance from Miss London and Miss Winchester who is now going on to the heats of Miss England. Jade Eden was fabulous and took time out of her busy schedule to wish would be Croydon based model hopefuls success and provided an overview of how the industry works.


Pulse Models (now renamed New Dimensions) had a cross section of their professional models there too again to show the new model hopefuls how to "strike a pose". There really were some great models there! Luigi and Jazz were on call all day helping new model hopefuls too with their new career paths. For further details about New Dimensions please contact Luigi on 020 8688 1288.

All the models photographs will be uploaded on to www.fasioncapital.co.uk to enable everyone there on the day to access the full photoshoot. Anyone who wishes to have high resolution images or a CD/DVD needs to contact Rodney Compton directly on 07703 191 388 or 020 8313 1978 or email info@xyris.tv .  Work is underway now by Rodney to provide the disks by Monday - it may take a little longer as there were 100s of pictures taken!


The Fashion Enter girls were absolute troopers. Hayleigh worked her cotton socks off, Emily was buzzing around all day, Frieda was brilliant on accessories the models and Jenni was there coordinating the samples. What a marvellous team!

This event was made possible by the funding we receive from Equal, Croydon Business and City Fringe Partnership. Grateful thanks to you all. The event was filmed and will be uploaded on to Fashioncapital shortly.
