ELITE GET INTO THE FAST LANE!

There's nothing like a traffic-jammed taxi to ruin a good fashion week, but luckily Elite girls had a far sexier way of negotiating the gridlocked roads around Somerset House, thanks to Marque2, who were kind enough to lend us some of their fabulous luxury supercars to make sure our girls hit the runways in style.

DOROTHEA STEPS IT UP

When Dorothea Barth Jorgensen last visited London she was on a serious wave of success - she finished up FW09 with over 40 shows to her name AND an exclusive with Miuccia Prada. Since then she's racked up 10 Magazine, W Magazine with Craig McDean, Vogue Italia with Steven Meisel, who then booked her for the Alberta Ferretti campaign, and she's already got two October editorials out - Vogue Japan with Willy Vanderperre and W again, this time with Paolo Roversi. In-demand!



After a knockout New York we didn't even need to try to book Dorothea for London so when she arrived we put her in the fastest car available to get her around her shows - Pringle, Topshop Unique and THREE looks at Burberry, including the amazing silver coat, were her highlights.

BREAKOUT SEASON - JUSTINE BOOMER

Every season it's exciting to see who will really come alive and start making their mark during shows, and this season we were thrilled with the progress of new recruit Justine Boomer. The 17 year old Canadian caused a stir when she first walked in to the agency, and our gut feelings were right as she booked a fantastic first season, topped off by an appearance for Luella and the responsibility of the key piece in her countryman Todd Lynn's incredible show. She's heading to Paris now, but we're looking forward to having her back in London very soon!

NEW SCHOOL GLAM - DENISA D


Another one of our fab Czech girls, Denisa Dvorakova has been building on a strong year including 10 Magazine and the current LK Bennett campaign with a great showing at LFW. She and Sessilee bagged themselves one of our favourite cars from the collection we borrowed in association with Marque2, and made like movie stars zipping round town in their biggest shades. Denisa's look translated perfectly at Jasper Conran, where the red lips and big hair were reminiscent of old school Hollywood glamour, and the slick look at Osman was another of our favourite looks on her.

CHARLOTTE di CALYPSO STORMS LONDON

We were thrilled to welcome Charlotte di Calypso to the Elite London ranks just in time for LFW, and we couldn't have been happier with her first season with us. She and close buddy Constance Jablonski raced around town in their Maserati Gransport (courtesy of Marque2) booking up an absolute storm - including Matthew Williamson, Erdem, Issa, Paul Smith, and Julien Macdonald. Our favourite Charlotte moment? the green lip at Paul Smith was a look few girls could pull off so well, and her sequinned hotpants at Matthew Williamson were just wicked!

VA-VA-VOOM VIVIENNE


Vivienne Westwood's Red Label collection was as eye catchingly- crazy as ever, a heady mix of her signature tailoring, tea dresses, and shorts of various dimensions, all set off by a rowdy selection of accessories (we loved Pixie's Viv-homage glasses) and hairstyling. Sigail, continuing a super strong season, led the way for the Elite girls, with Fabienne, Cassandra and Julie D also featuring in the show.


Cassandra, who turned up so well styled that some of the press thought she had been dressed for the show BEFORE hair and makeup!















Amsterdam-born Fabienne has worked almost every single day since she arrived in London, and her natural Westwood curves made her a quick booking for this show!















After opening Gwen Stefani's L.A.M.B collection in New York, British girl Julie D's quirky edge is certainly making her an SS10 favourite

CZECH HER OUT...

One of our hottest new faces to watch is Czech beauty Barbora Dvorakova - having already walked for the likes of Prada and Vivienne Westwood last season we were ready for a big SS10 season for her, and she didn't disappoint, with Burberry the first to snap her up (before she even arrived in town!) One of a cast of fresh young faces for the future (including Dorothea), Barbora rocked some of the best pieces in the show, including the blue draped skirt and killer lurex trousers. And of course she rolled up to all her shows in every supermodel-in-the-making's essential accessory - an eye catching car!

Elite ♥ PPQ!

The first big 'event' of the London season, PPQ went for wow factor by choosing all-black casting for their show. Which worked out great for Elite - we had 5 girls out on the runway in front of the usual celeb-heavy PPQ front row: Sessilee, Shantelle, Adama, Georgie and Sigail. Loving the retro inspired feel of the collection too!

ANASTASIJA FEELS THE 'LOVE'

We loved Proenza Schouler's NY show, all skate style influences and electro-grunge colours... even in the hair! The choice of purple and blue streaked locks went down a storm with Love Magazine, who tracked the trend on their blog, featuring Anastasija K. Also in the show from Elite London - Egle, Constance and Dorothea.

DOROTHEA WOWS NY.. AGAIN!

W magazine have profiled Dorothea Barth Jorgensen as 'This Week's Model' in their online edition, and we can see why. After a huge opening season in February she's storming New York Fashion Week again, having already chalked up Proenza Schouler, Rodarte, Marc by Marc and DKNY among others. We can't wait to see her in London next week! Read the full profile at http://www.wmagazine.com 



GEORGIE'S CHANEL TURN




Georgie Wass's showcase of the new Chanel cosmetics line is a gorgeous Venetian themed affair. The finished product feels more like a painting than a photo, which will add yet another dimension to a book already bursting with great editorial. The images run in the new issue of Let Them Eat Cake, and we are in with love the preview at the Telegraph's website...

PREENED TO PERFECTION

Our first NYFW sighting of Constance came at the Preen show yesterday, where she made her mark in a space age metallic piece that is giving us serious body AND outfit envy! Preen declined to return home to London this season, but with such a great reception in New York, we can see why. The show also featured Dorothea and Olga...

ELITE GIRLS @ ARISE: AFRICA'S FASHION COLLECTIVE

Elite has been a big supporter of Arise magazine since its launch earlier this year, so we were thrilled to see Sessilee's cover for the new edition projected on the catwalk at the Arise: Promise of Africa Collective show at New York Fashion Week yesterday. And we were very proud to see Sessilee, Sigail and Georgie B, all of whom who have featured in Arise this year, strutting their stuff on the catwalk for the show itself, which showcased the work of four designers from across the African continent. Good job girls!
