The competition follows last years Face of Barking which proved to be highly successful generating fantastic opportunities to the residents of the East London borough. Like last year this will also coincide with a series of self enhancement workshops including How to own your own fashion label and How to be a catwalk model.

The Face of Barking and Dagenham is open to all females, age 16 – 25 and must reside in the Barking and Dagenham borough. It is also in association with Vicarage Field's very own Model Search which is open to all ages both male and female who will walk away with a wide selection of retail vouchers and have a professional photo shoot to appear in the shopping centre's Christmas catalogue.

‘We are extremely pleased to be the main agency behind the Face of Barking and Dagenham this season. Mahogany Models prides itself on being Europe's largest modelling agency for models of colour. At Mahogany we not only look for models that are beautiful and have the potential to make it within the industry but we pay particular attention to their character and personality as we feel these are very important when deciding which models to take on to our books.'

We are now taking applications so if you think you have what it takes please click here for an application form and return to the Enter Boutique in Barking or email to jenni@fashion-enter.com

The Face of Barking and Dagenham also has the support of London Borough of Barking and Dagenham, The Adult College, Barking College and Vicarage Field Shopping Centre.
