SUPER SWEDE!

 Thanks for the phrase Models.com...we couldn’t think of any other way to describe this fierce blonde! Welcome to London Madelene (wish you hadn’t brought the weather with you!)...
We’ve had the gorgeous Madelene in town for the last couple of weeks and we can safely say this girls feet have not touched the ground...well with a face and body like that who’s surprised!

A Princess wears white

White is simply elegant. Look at the future Princess of Monaco in this photo shoot for Tatler, looking comfortably chic in white. It reminds me of this other wonderful white outfit worn by Princess Victoria of Sweden here.


It would be easy to copy her look. The silk trousers are surprisingly affordable: only 150 pounds. I think the tricky part for us 'normal' people is: how to keep the white... white?!


She'll be marrying Prince Albert II on 2 July 2011. Her official title will be Her Serene Highness The Princess of Monaco!

I ♥ NYasha

Cast your mind back to Elite Model Look 2009 and you will remember the divine Nyasha who stole our hearts and walked away with first place in the UK final last August...

Following a dream first season of shows back in September (two words...Louis Vuitton) we sent Nyasha over to fashion Mecca, New York City to show the Americans why Elite London girls are truly the best in the business...and clearly they agree! We spotted our girl front and centre at a presentation for  Calvin Klein, looking every inch the poster girl for the iconic US brand.

Antony Jerram suits up for Kilgour




Antony Jerram recently paid a visit to Savile Row and got kitted out for the spectacular Kilgour campaign. Shot in eight suits including the above tuxedo, Antony looks like any tailor's dream - and the perfect, dapper gentleman, might we add. Check out the rest of the pictures via the link below.


V MAN and Mario visit Malthe in Copenhagen





Malthe, one of Elite London's newest additions to the men's board, struts his stuff in his native Copenhagen for the November issue of V MAN - he's number three from left in the top picture. The editorial, which was shot by Mario Testino and styled by Andrew Richardson, sees Malthe in an array of typical Danish settings...  Of course Elite London's no stranger to the invasion of the Danes. Between the booking desk, the PR department and the models, on a good day there are about six hundred Danish people at the office.

Lanvin lust...

 So were you one of the hardcore Lanvin fans queuing up outside your nearest H&M from 4am this morning? Or even sitting in front of your computer from 8am clicking refresh on the H&M website (team Elite are guilty of this one)?  Well to help banish those fashion failure blues, check out this shot of the gorgeous Olga Sherer in a piece from the coveted collection, showing us just what we’ve missed out on! Next stop..ebay!

Rae Morris: Makeup, The Ultimate Guide - see inside


If you're interested in make-up books, you've almost certainly come across this one. It contains some amazing pictures. I was actually asked to do a review of this and let you have a look inside... so this post is picture heavy.


Just like every other make-up book on the market, this one also covers the basics: the essentials, brushes, prepping. Nothing new here.


I like the section on eyelashes. Using the same model and make-up, she applies different eyelashes (natural, lux, high impact) to show you how they can change your eyes. In fact, a lot of the looks in this book rely on eyelashes for that extra wow factor.


Many of the looks are dramatic. She uses pigments, glitter, sticky tape, diamond dust, liquid eye paint, gold leaves... items that a beginner or a "normal" person does not usually have in their make-up kit, so beware.

The good thing is, it does have step-by-step guides on how to achieve each of the looks.


 Cleopatra eyes: this is one of my favourite looks.


How to contour: this is a very detailed and interesting chapter. She uses a cream foundation four shades darker than the model's natural skin tone to contour. But as she explains herself, "this technique is advanced".


Highlighting: this is also a great chapter.


Typical Rae Morris... red lips with a twist: purple added to the top, gold on the bottom.


Some of the more natural looks....


Overall, I would say that the book is inspiring and a lot of these looks would be perfect for a photo shoot. If you want to be ultra creative and experimental with your make-up, this is probably for you.

But for beginners, I think there are 'friendlier' books out there that concentrate on more down-to-earth looks (that you can't go wrong with!). Like Jemma Kidd's Make-up Masterclass or any of Bobbi Brown's books.

Elite's T4 takeover!


 We came, we scouted, we conquered! Team Elite were out in force on Sunday at London’s Earls Court for T4’s annual Pop-fest, T4s Stars of 2010, on a mission to find the face of the future and bring a touch of fashion to the masses.

A crew of Elite scouts and models took over the catwalk stage and with help from our friends at River Island, put on a spectacular fashion show amidst the chaos...the male models causing a serious stir amongst the ladies in the audience, you don’t get that at London Fashion Week!
Mollie and Vanessa from The Saturdays joined us on stage to help judge our model competition and a big congratulations to Penny Crocker from Middlesex who was crowned our winner! For more photos make sure you visit our facebook page.

Marie Claire ideas and a dating question

Remember I was vegging out last weekend, reading fashion magazines? Well, here are a couple of things from Marie Claire that caught my eye.

I've talked about Marmite before here. Obviously this is only for you Marmite lovers out there...


These lipstick-stained teacups would be so much fun for tea parties with the girls.


Vegetable soaps! Nice gift idea for gardeners.


Keira Knightley, Scarlett Johansson, Naomi Watts and Jennifer Garner have all been spotted wearing these.  They're for a very good cause: buy a pair of Toms, and they will donate a pair to a child in need. Read the Marie Claire article here.


Now for this last one... Calling all New Yorkers! Eye-gazing parties... like speed-dating but in silence. All you do is stare! Is that true? Who has done this?! Do tell!

Tis the Season to be wearing DKNY

 You may be trying to fight it (team elite are not too sure about the Christmas music playing in Starbucks in mid November...) but it’s hard to ignore the fact that party season is round the corner! As the December issues start hitting our desks all eyes are on those all important festive campaigns and a particular favourite this season has to be DKNY featuring the gorgeous Keke Lindgard...
Joining this impressive line up of fashions most famous faces, Keke has certainly given us inspiration for the office Christmas party outfit...

Kate Middleton at the photocall + The ring

Doesn't she look gorgeous? The dress is simply beautiful (what a flattering colour!) and her hair is so glossy and perfect!


She got Diana's sapphire engagement ring...


See the interview here. I think this is the first time I have heard Kate speak! I like her voice.

H&M Holiday-ing with Fei Fei



You leave the blogosphere for less than twenty-four hours and there she is again! Fei Fei, hitting up the H&M Holiday campaign. Girlfriend's on a roll - we're kind of tempted to officially declaring it Fei Fei Week. The H&M Holiday campaign was shot by Daniel Jackson and styled by George Cortina. We can't wait to see what's next in Fei Fei news.

Finally! Kate Middleton & Prince William engaged!

This is the news we have been waiting years for!

They're engaged! Finally! And I am so delighted!
Congratulations!!!


See her style moments here. Doesn't she look fantastic in the above photo? She has such a great figure, she already looks incredible in everything. So when she starts wearing haute couture gowns and diamonds... she will look stunning. She will become more popular than Diana!

I just know that she is going to look gorgeous at her wedding. I cannot wait!

Introducing William Potter


Just in: one Mr William Potter. Brace yourselves... the Potter name won't be exclusive to wizard and rabbit associations for much longer. We're predicting major things for William.

Fei Fei rules China




Daaum! Fei Fei Sun is going with her bad self! Above, pictures from the December issue of ELLE China - plus the cover of course. Fei Fei's naturally a regular at ELLE China: this marks her second cover for the magazine... and it's only been a few months since Fei Fei's Vogue China cover... and her Harper's Bazaar China cover. What's 'rock on' in Chinese?
