R U the FACE of Croydon: The Top Three

 

 

The competition was a collaboration between New Dymensions Model Management, Fashion-Enter and the Xyris.tv team. The objective was to give aspiring models the chance to participate in a free photo shoot, wearing the latest Enter Boutique designs, great publicity for all concerned.

 

 

 

 

One of the would be models was Croydon born Funmi Fagbemi, she commented:

 

 

“I had never thought about modelling as a career before as I am studying fashion at Croydon College but this event was such good fun and I loved the results too. I have been so inspired by the event and the other programs by Fashion Enter (Getting It Right First Time) that I am now going back to Nigeria to open up my own modeling company. I will be regularly liaising with Croydon and New Dymensions so who knows what opportunities there are out there too.”

 

 

All the models were showcased on www.fashioncapital.co.uk and the public had the opportunity to vote for their winning models.

 

 

 

So who are the lucky winners…?

The standard of the models was really high and we had a very long, enjoyable day working with them. The winners are a good choice by the public and we are delighted to offer our services further. There are many commissions with top industry leads and we will work with New Dymensions to secure contracts for the winners.”

 

 

Congratulations to everyone. This was true engagement with all levels of industry and the general public of Croydon
