Kenza for Sports Illustrated
We almost couldn’t believe our eyes when these scorching images of Kenza hit our inboxes, brightening our day in the dreary London rain.
The shoot, for the prestigious US publication Sports Illustrated, got us in the mood for summer and already contemplating our bikini diets. To see Kenza’s full story with the Sports Illustrated team, as well as some exclusive behind the scenes images check out:

The Model Sanctuary
Our boys and girls escaped the madness of London Fashion to kick back at the Model Sanctuary in Convent Garden. They were treated to massages, facials and manicures, as well as complementary food and smoothies. So we'd like to say a massive thank-you to the Model sanctuary for keeping the Elite lovelies in tip-top condition for fashion week!

Chocolate therapy
Sometimes only chocolate will do...Elite show girls Alice & Morgan take a much needed break from shows, fittings and castings to drop by the agency and indulge in some much needed comfort food while going over their manic schedules for the day. Hot brownie with cream...key to models fashion week survival!

Agency Antics
Welcome to the world of Fashion Week blog followers...the time of year when Elite London is invaded by hundreds of models, the phone never stops ringing and the amount of chocolate consumed (by the bookers that is) could sink the titanic... we thought we’d give you a quick glimpse behind the scenes of the agency in the build up to this crazy period....
From NY to LDN town!
Just landed back from New York Fashion Week, agency faves and jet setting duo Hannah Noble and Tasha Franken, dropped by for a quick catch up but then quickly dashed off again for a busy day of castings for London Fashion Week!

Elite Models ♥ The Food Doctor
Here at Elite we’d like to say a big thank you to our friends over at The Food Doctor HQ for sending us over a box full of healthy fashion week supplies for our hard working models! As every Elite model knows, keeping up your energy levels is super important for making it through a day of endless castings, fittings and shows, so it comes as no surprise that our stock of seeds, nuts and fruit bars is already running low!
