HOT OFF THE EDITORIAL PRESS

Reigning queen of the catwalk, Constance Jablonski stars in this retro editorial for Januarys issue of W Magazine. Despite a trio of male models to contend with, Constance dominates every shot of this denim story styled by Alex White and shot by Knoepfel & Indlekofer. Its 80s all the way with BIG hair and double denim, yet our girl pulls it off in true supermodel style!

IT'S ALL ABOUT 'YOU'

The EML UK gang was joined on our recent trip to China for the Elite Model Look World Final by the lovely Amy Williams of Sunday's finest, You Magazine. We were thrilled to see the results of Amy's hard work in this weekend's issue, featuring tons of fab behind the scenes pictures from the our adventures in Sanya. Thanks Amy!

Fashion Trend Watch Cut Out Dresses

Fashion Trend Watch Cut Out Dresses. Cut out dresses are the hottest looks around, they show just the right amount of skin without revealing too much. This look is perfect for going out on the town, or out dancing, just be sure you never wear this look on the first date.

Celebrities spotted wearing this trend include Halle Berry, Kim Kardashian, Alessandra Ambrosio and Rihanna just to name a few.

ANOTHER EML SUCCESS!

It was only a matter of time before Elite Model Look finalist Kelly Moreira started making headlines in the modelling industry. Another Elite Model Look success story, Kelly has walked straight onto the catwalk, walking for the likes of YSL, Dries Van Noten and Lanvin. Not bad for a first Season! Kelly is currently front page news on Model.com...guess we're not the only ones keeping an eye on this rising star!

THANK YOU BOOHOO.COM!

Final line up of girls (and shoes!)

Elite would like to thank the fabulous BooHoo.com for all the gorgeous shoes we used during the T4 Stars of 2009 model competition. Not only did they look amazing but they were also surprisingly easy to walk in given the stiletto heel (yes we did try them all on....). We personally think that they outshone the celebs designer pairs onstage and if you’re not already logging on to www.boohoo.com we suggest you do so now!

Surface Beauty

Moschinos darling Elisa Sednaoui takes a break from campaigns to star in this sultry editorial for Novembers issue of Surface magazine shot by Dan Martensen. Stunning close-ups, vintage inspired clothing and playful poses give these shots an intimate feel and memorable quality....we’re hooked!

STAR SPOTTING AT T4

We had an amazing time at T4's Stars of 2009 yesterday where Elite took over the Rimmel Catwalk Stage to launch the very first UK casting for Elite Model Look 2010. Our team of scouts braved the rain to check out the queue at Earl's Court and then race their 10 best finds to our backstage area for the fastest of catwalk classes before the girls were thrown into the spotlight to strut their stuff....

After all 10 girls had walked for the judges our winner was the gorgeous 16 year old Lottie O'Donoughue from Bromley, who impressed us so much that we're putting her straight into our EML final next summer. With 7 whole months to prepare we can't wait to see what she can do...

The stunning Rochelle Wiseman of girl group the Saturdays made time before her apperance on the main stage to add a sprinkling of celebrity sparkle to the judging panel... here she is with our EML UK 09 winner Nyasha Matonhodze, who's looking every inch the supermodel herself!

With our presenters - Hollyoaks' Matt & Darren, plus Paloma Faith, Ke$ha, Example and Rochelle's bandmate Frankie joining us backstage, it was one crowded green room.... EML 09 world finalist Emily Smith made sure she got the shots though - here she is meeting Edith Bowman, who was also presenting on our stage

THE NEW BRIT PACK

EML UK 2009 - SUCCESS STORIES

We can hardly believe we're already starting castings for EML UK 2010! With our scouts hitting west London's T4 Stars event over the weekend, it's a good time to look back at the little gems we unearthed during the 2009 contest. As well as our world finalists Nyasha, Beth and Emily, we're now representing four other great girls who wowed us at the UK Final back in August... say hello to Elite's new Brit Pack!

PLASTIQUE FANTASTIQUE!

Georgie Wass for Plastique shot by Simon Emmett

What a month it’s been for amazing editorials! One of our favourites, Georgie Wass shows us how it’s done in the current issue of Plastique magazine. Smouldering makeup, huge hair and an array of fierce poses help transform our fresh faced girl from Australia into one hell of a Rock Star. We cant wait for Georgie to come back to London and with new material like this, who knows what direction her career is going to take!

BARBORA'S NEW LOOK

Hot off the Burberry catwalk, Barbora Dvorakova continues to do us proud in this striking shoot for Amica Magazine shot by Mark Pillai.

It’s hard to believe this is the same girl we saw in Teen Vogue only last month and if this is a taste of what’s to come we cant wait to see more!

T4 STARS OF 2009

Excitement is building around the Elite agency as we get ready to join forces with T4’s Stars of 2009 at London’s Earls Court this Sunday. Our expert scouts will be stationed throughout the venue, on the lookout for the faces of the future. Our ten favourite finds of the day will get the amazing opportunity to strut their stuff down the Rimmel Catwalk. The winner of the final ‘walk off’ gets a ticket straight to the UK semi-final of the world famous Elite Model Look Competition 2010 where Cindy Crawford and Gisele Bundchen took their first steps into the modelling world.

All this on top of performances by the likes of JLS, Alexandra Burke, Tinchy Stryder and The Saturdays?! If you haven’t got tickets what were you thinking!?
As well as the usual Elite London team, we shall be joined by our stars of EML 2009;  Emily Smith, Beth Leader and Nyasha Matonhodze who will be sharing their tips and experiences with the next generation of Elite Model Look hopefuls.

Elite Model Look world finalist Emily Smith

Hopefully see you there... we will be the fabulous ones in elite t-shirts!

GORGEOUS GABRIELA

Gabriela Iliescu for net-a-porter.com shot by Sarah Griggs

Client favourite Gabriela Iliescu shows us how to update our Winter wardrobe in this fashion forward shoot for net-a-porter.com.

Sadly it will take a little more than a gorgeous jacket to get us looking as hot as Gabriela, but with some fantastic styling tips from net-a-porter we can certainly try!

KATE SOMERS IN US ELLE

Shot by Horst Diekgerdes for US Elle Dec 09

Another month, another fabulous editorial for our star redhead Kate Somers who is gracing the pages of US Elle this month. In a brilliant twist on a winter fashion story, Kate makes walking in heels, IN SAND look easy. Never has knitwear on the beach looked so good!

Gucci Eyeweb Gucci's New Sunglasses Collection

Gucci Eyeweb Gucci's New Sunglasses Collection. Gucci is known for this eyewear and their new collection Eyeweb is geared more towards kids. The collection is designed by creative director Frida Giannini who was also named as fashion designer of the year at Glamour’s Women of the Year awards in June. The line features two styles of frames avaible in six different colors with 3 more designs being added for the spring 2010.



In order to keep up with the younger generation and their love for social sites, the shades will be will be showcased on an interactive micro-site (guccieyeweb.com) where users can view the sunglasses in 3D using a 90 degree rotating system, allowing them not only to examine the eye-candy, but also see reflections of friends in the lenses by upload their own images

“I designed these sunglasses and the accompanying social networking site with today’s digital generation in mind. I hope that they will both enjoy wearing them and ‘reflecting and connecting’ their own creativity with their friends around the world,” Frida said.

MICHAELA FOR ARMANI EXCHANGE

Michaela Hlavackova is back with a bang this season, with the Armani Exchange campaign first out of the blocks. We've been loving Tom Munro's work with Constance over the last few months (Moschino, Vogue Nippon) and aslo with Elisa Sednaoui on Love Moschino, and his sleek and sexy story is the perfect vehicle for Ms H. Great behind the scenes footage too...

TOP SECRET

The Victoria's Secret Show is always a major event, and with this season's new Angels on show, plus eye-popping acrobats, a choir, another staggering Heidi Klum post-baby appearance and the usual elaborate set (polka-dotted dog balloon, anyone?) the extravaganza was as unmissable as ever. We were thrilled to see Dorothea Barth Jorgensen making her debut at the show alongside VS regular Sessilee Lopez...

Dorothea, looking adorable
