Elite ♥ Bora Aksu

For the second time in as many Seasons, Elite girls took to the catwalk for designer Bora Aksu in an exclusive...this time round as part of Istanbul Fashion Week. We think our girls looked incredible in the now distinctive Bora Aksu designs and would like to take this opportunity to thank our good friend, super producer Luke Foy for making all this happen again!

Beauty on the streets of Paris


We can’t keep up with the stream of September issue gems featuring Elite models that are flooding in! Our latest favourite comes in the form of Constance Jablonski’s beauty story for Vogue Paris, shot by Inez van Lamsweerde and co-starring some rather fabulous Dior and Buccellati diamonds. Following her captivating Estee Lauder campaign, Constance lends her face once again to beauty as she demonstrates A/W’s most dramatic makeup trends as she travels through the streets of Paris...not even Vogue can resist a cheeky Eiffel Tower tourist snap!

Elite London's on a Scottish manhunt

Following the success of soon to be Topman campaign star Louis Galloway, Elite London will be supporting our friends over at The Model Team in Glasgow who are on a mission to reinvent the image of a Scottish male model. Yes we will be helping them move away from the stereotypical kilt wearing, porridge eating images that we are so used to seeing and get more Scottish boys on the catwalk and into campaigns through The Model Team’s Male Model Competition which launched last week in association with Harvey Nichols Edinburgh. Inspiration for all applicants comes in the form of Elites rising star Louis Galloway who is taking the first steps in transforming the face of the Scottish modelling scence by landing the Topman campaign which will be revealed next week. For more info on how to enter visit http://www.modelteam.co.uk/
you can take the boy out of Scotland....but we failed to remove the tartan...

Honey...we like your style


As much as we love seeing all the new A/W campaigns featuring our gorgeous models coming in, the likelihood of us running out to purchase this seasons must have D&G knitwear is slim to none. You can imagine our excitement when these gorgeous snaps of Elite rising star Honey hit our desks...Prada, Chanel, Burberry?? Nope guess again...Honey is in fact sporting the latest collection from Primark, nailing every single key trend that strutted down the catwalk earlier this year. Festival find Honey pulls off every look in a way that’s making us want to skip right into Autumn!

The September Issue

Wow...Vogue China celebrates its 5th anniversary with this breathtaking dual cover for its September Issue, celebrating the phenomenal Asian talent dominating the modelling industry at the moment. Elite superstars Fei Fei Sun and Ming Xi show us why they dominate LFW when they’re in town and in our opinion (obviously) steal the show in this cast of beauties working both the classical and modern looks, decked out in divine Alexander Wang. Our favourite September Issue so far...

An Elite Invasion!

We’re always proud when an Elite model graces the pages of a magazine so when our very own Image Coordinator Marco Majocchi went behind the lens to shoot Jade Mezzard for Moose Magazine we were positively bursting with pride when these military inspired shots hit our inbox. Looks like we should keep it in the family more often!

Ski Bunny Simona

The September issues and campaigns are in and that can only mean one thing in fashion...Autumn/Winter collections are ready and waiting to fill our wardrobes! We know its technically still summertime but here in Elite towers we are already falling for the gorgeous trends set to take over as soon as the temperature drops. Check out Elite’s Simona Andrejic sporting the ultimate in après ski chic in D&G’s latest campaign shot by the one and only Mario Testino. With Elite Model Look still fresh in our minds it’s hard to believe that this time last year Simona was a contestant herself...2010 EML girls take note!
