And that's not all – both of the models had the opportunity to meet Victoria Beckham!

These photographs reflect the sheer success of the competition The Face of….and Fashion Enter would particularly like to pay enormous thanks and gratitude to Barking and Dagenham Enterprise for providing the correct funding to make this entire event work.

Yasmeen commented – 'Who would have thought that all this could happen. Just two weeks ago I was walking on a catwalk in Vicarage Field Shopping Centre for the first time ever and now I have debuted on the Profile fashion show in New York. I loved the whole experience and it's completely opened my eyes to how modeling works and what happens behind the scenes. I am so grateful to Fashion Enter and www.fashioncapital.co.uk who put on this event and also to Mahogany Models who paid me for me to come out here. It's a dream come true.'

Kym – 'I have had an amazing opportunity here in New York and I have loved every single minute of it. To meet Victoria Beckham was unbelievable and I have the contact details to keep in touch too. These opportunities would never have happened without the Face of Croydon and the confidence that Fashion Enter had with me personally. This is just the start now of my career – I have never been happier. Thank you also to Centrale Shopping Centre who paid for me to come out here.'

Jenny Holloway commented 'We always had complete confidence that the format for The face of competition was 100% correct. To be able to take unknown individuals plucked off the streets in LEGI funded areas and bring them all the way to New York is a huge confidence builder for the winner but also acts as inspiration for others to follow. We are so pleased with how the event has been received and how both Yasmeen and Kym have risen to the challenge that we are going to personally contact Gordon Brown to explain how successful this event has been – this is just how LEGI money should be spent!'
