Models, actors, presenters, dancers, can learn about the goods and services offered by the industry. What makes a good agency? What do agencies look for in their models? What makes a supermodel? All these questions are answered. And what are the negatives within the industry from a model’s perspective? How can the industry accommodate them better? What can be learnt and subsequently developed in order to stand out from the rest?

being more than ready to trade my winter boots for no socks, heels, flowing chiffon and bright colours, it is impossible to think about anything other than the Japanese Tsunami and Earthquake that has devastated the lives of so many. Siobhan Perry, winner of Miss Every Model Charity last year was in Tokyo at the time the quake struck.

Mikey’s Column…

Getting into Modelling through the Tradesman’s entrance My house is a mess. There are

so many things to fix, restore and replace that I simply don’t know where to start, and I certainly don’t have the necessary handyman skills to transform my hovel into a palace myself. I’m told the only way to ensure you avoid taking your own eye out with a nail gun is to get the right people in to do the work. But where can I find these people that will turn my wreck into a home to be proud of? It used to be that your local handyman would ensure that every Englishman’s home remained his castle, but programmes like Rogue Traders and Homes from Hell have revealed that your average Yellow Pages has more cowboys in it than the Wild West.

So, do you know what I’m going to do? I’m going to employ the services of a few models. Now I know what you’re thinking – these boys and

6

Every Model Magazine

girls might be able to make the latest creations from the world’s fashion houses look the business, but if I’m expecting them to repair my hallway cornicing or lay a new kitchen floor I could be left wanting. Until recently I’d have probably said the same but that was before I heard about Robert Knighton and Daniel Whittaker.

These two gentlemen were, until recently, happily plying their respective trades. Robert a carpet fitter in London, Daniel a plasterer in Liverpool. before being plucked from obscurity to become two of the hottest new males around.

For Robert, all it took was fitting a carpet in an agency scout’s home whereupon he was spotted, sent to a casting and hired on the spot.

He’s about to appear in a big brand’s new TV advertising campaign and recently graced the catwalk for Ozwald Boateng. As for Daniel, it

was his sister who sent his picture to an agency. The result? He’s just been chosen as the face of Dolce & Gabbana and Versace in Milan.

Now you may be thinking that well, they’d have been spotted anyway sooner or later. You might be right, until I tell you that Robert is in fact 50 years old and never done anything remotely resembling modelling before. As for Daniel, who’s at the slightly more tender age of 19, how many scouts do you know that have ventured to the building sites of Merseyside to go looking for fresh faces?

What’s really interesting is how these guys’ clients have reacted to them. Both have been portrayed as a joy to work with, bringing both character and down to earth attitudes and not once shaking their heads whilst sucking air through their teeth (builders tend to do this

when asked how long something will take). Perhaps dealing with the house owners of Britain has taught these two chaps that being as good with people as you are with your hands goes a long, long way.

Here’s the point: If you’re a scout, the next time you’re having your sink unblocked or front room decorated, give the guy (or girl) the once over just to see if they’re catwalk material – you just never know. If you’re an aspiring model, just because you’re not in the job you’d quite like to be in right now, it doesn’t mean you can’t be the next Robert or Daniel and be ditching your trowel or saw in the near future. And one last thing that 50-year old Robert has proved – and it’s something EM has always championed – modelling doesn’t have an age limit.

Now, where can I find someone to tile my bathroom…?

Exclusive interview with...

Lady Angie Sinclair This issue our cover model is former beauty queen Angie Sinclair. Prior to her marriage to entrepreneur and inventor Sir Clive Sinclair, Angie began her career as a full time working model.

She talks exclusively to EM Magazine about where it all started including the the ups and the downs. She offers some realistic and inspirational advice to all you budding models out there.

Pulling no punches Angie tells us how it really is to want a career in modelling along with the realities of actually achieving it... em

Hi Angie, great to see you.

Obviously we know you here at EM, but for any readers who don’t know, tell us a little about you and your background. You were a former Miss England were you not?

as

When I was about six months old my mum entered me into a baby contest in Nottingham, which I won.

Then when I was about eight mum entered me into Farnsfield show fancy dress and asked me what I wanted to go as and I said Miss World. So there I was in a bikini, sash, and crown which I made my mum make and I won that too. I used to watch Miss World on TV as a child and was mesmerised by the glamorous ladies. At the show

Every Model Magazine

there was a local model agency who approached my mum and asked her to take me down to see them in Nottingham. When we visited them the next week they said that they didn’t represent children but made an exception for me. I won my first casting for Tammy Girl and was on their swimsuit swingtags and in shop windows. I absolutely loved it. I did all the local fashion shows every weekend and saved all the money I made. When I was about twelve it all stopped as I wasn’t a child any more and not yet an adult so work wasn’t coming my way. So I concentrated on my hobbies and school. Modelling was never a job for me it was what I loved doing.

I was always posing and strutting

around and dressing up from about the age of four.

em

In respect of your adult modelling career, when did that start? Was it before or after Miss England?

as

At seventeen I was at college and mum came home with the local paper and said I should enter Miss Nottingham. I eventually did after an argument with my boyfriend at the time, and went on to win. The next year I won Miss Sheffield and became Miss England after coming 2nd in Miss UK. I went on to Miss Europe, as it was at the time, and came 6th out of about 40. I loved it so much I developed the beauty

After about a month of castings with no work and feeling very disheartened I suddenly won a job filming the BT commercial with the Eastenders cast.

pageant bug and loved the glamour, preparation and competitiveness. I also enjoyed travelling and making lots of friends all over the world. I was scouted at the final by a London commercial and glamour agent who asked me if I had plans to move to London. If only I thought! That was like a dream to me at eighteen living in London, a cosmopolitan and cool place where I had only been once before. When I was Miss Nottingham I was taken there in a Rolls Royce to shoot a calendar which featured beauty queens. It was shot at the Dorchester and Angie Beasley took me for a make over. I felt fabulous as I never used to wear makeup and won Miss Nottingham without wearing a scrap of it.

em

What kind of modelling work have you done?

as

I have done glamour, fashion and advertising, fashion shows, swim wear, catalogues. When I turned nineteen I suddenly woke up one day and had this overwhelming urge to move to London. I had a bit of money saved, not much but enough for a couple of months rent and I imagined lots of contracts and work waiting for me. But it wasn’t like that at all. I bought a one way train ticket, packed a suitcase and

10

Every Model Magazine

left Nottingham. I slept on a friends blow up bed until I found a flat I could afford. When I did I moved in and went to see the agency. They sent me out on about five to ten castings a day but I wasn’t securing any work. I was up against so many well established models. Models I had seen on TV and read about.

They were so glamorous and famous I didn’t ever think I would stand a chance. After about a month of castings with no work and feeling very disheartened I suddenly won a job filming the BT commercial with the Eastenders cast. After that work came in thick and fast. I filmed a TV commercial for Vision Express, pop videos, Playboy lingerie many catalogues and bill boards for Thomson holidays, Thomas Cook direct holidays, Pizza Hut, Speedo, Marriott Hotel chains, Japanese Vogue and loads of others. At this point I toyed with the idea of doing Page 3, but felt it would compromise the advertising work I was getting.

Back in the 90s for a commercial, the girls were making 10k plus for a days work.

em

What kind of modelling genre do you prefer?

as

I prefer advertising as the money is better and obviously its

nice to see yourself on bill boards or in shop windows or on the TV. It’s strange and like you are recognising a friend as it doesn’t feel like you.

But its a buzz to see yourself when you know you won a job which was sought after and which you worked hard on with a team of creative people. So many times I would get a call from a friend who had seen my face in a magazine or shop somewhere. I had a friend who was on holiday in Chile once and she called me to say that I was in the hotel brochures in the Five star hotel she was staying at. Also a friend who was on holiday in Florida saw me on about a dozen bill boards on one road. It’s really bizarre but an amazing feeling.

em

Is there a genre of modelling you haven’t done but would like to?

as

I have been lucky doing glamour and fashion as I have always been told I can get away with both. My look is easily changeable depending on makeup and hair and I have narrow hips and am 5’8” tall, so I have been able to do fashion.

em

Obviously we know you are married to British entrepreneur and inventor Sir Clive Sinclair. As Lady Sinclair are you treated any differently?

as

Obviously being a Lady has opened doors and people tend to take you a bit more seriously and ‘listen’ in the industry. And I have been approached to do all sorts of things, all which I am still considering. Ranging from presenting to magazine work to writing columns.

em

What advice can you offer someone who would like to try their hand at modelling?

as

Not to give up. If you really believe you have something to offer the modelling industry then don’t give up and keep pushing. In the beginning when I first moved to London and was struggling I nearly gave up. But I just kept trying. Don’t take no for an answer. I have often been told, you can’t do that and you can’t do this, you should get a boob job, you should cut your hair. I didn’t do any of this. One famous photographer once told me to get my boobs enlarged cut my hair and change my name. I didn’t listen and I trusted my instincts.

I knew what I wanted and just went for it. Be brave. If you want to make big money or get big jobs you will have to move to London.

Its the centre of the universe and where everything happens. If you

are content to do local shows and work which you can still make a living from then stay in the smaller towns and cities. London is a minefield and there is a hell of a lot of competition and people are very ambitious. Moving to London made me grow up quickly. Look after yourself if you are serious about a career in modelling. Eat well and exercise and stay away from drink and drugs. Keep testing with photographers you trust as its the only way to practice and learn what poses work for you.

I remember one model, who is really famous now who would turn up to the agency every day and sit there bugging the bookers and the owner to ring this magazine and that newspaper to test shoot her or book her. They gave in eventually and now she’s a famous celebrity in her own right. So it paid off.

Sometimes agents need a push to get you out there and you could be waiting forever for the phone to ring if you don’t remind them that you exist.

As a model be prepared to network; I have often got jobs such as, doing London Fashion Week catwalk shows, by networking and going to events and parties.

em What makes you happy? as

The smell of my son, sunshine, music and food.

em

What are your future plans?

I understand you are just about to embark upon a new business venture.

as

I have recently set up my own company and currently Boots the chemist are testing my lip glosses which are miniature and organic.

If they pass all the safety tests they could be in the shops which is my dream. I’m also currently doing magazines, more newspapers, presenting and helping with my husbands company Sinclair Research.

em

Who are your role models?

as

White T-shirt: Kain Leather jacket: s.w.o.r.d Shorts: Etiquete Negra Argentina Black shoes: Lanvin

My role models are Caprice, who I have worked with doing the fashion segment on The Big Breakfast, and Paige Adams Gellar (former beauty queen). Both successful models who are now hugely successful business women.

Caprice with her bikinis and Paige with her jeans! Maybe I will be next with my miniature cosmetic range.

Gemondo Interview with Amy McGinty

1. Tell us about what your company does?

Gemondo offers a wide range of diamond and Gemstone jewellery without the price tag. All our jewellery is sourced from UK based jewellery manufacturers and all our gold, silver and platinum jewellery follow UK Hallmarking Laws. We promise that all our jewellery uses natural stones unless specifically stated within the product descriptions.

2. Have you ever worked alongside beauty pageants or modelling organisations before?

Until recently Gemondo have not worked alongside modelling or pageant organizations. On Valentines day we were the sponsors for the jewellery auction at Skys Angels magazine launch. The work involved and the response in the lead up was phenomenal, pushing my wanting to work more within the industry.

3. What is your view on beauty pageants?

I think beauty pageants are inspirational for the girls taking part and those watching. The pageants give you an opportunity to show your talents and build confidence that is sky high - a skill that is needed to be successful in life. In the past few months I have been watching shows and videos on beauty pageants and find they really test peoples focus, which gives them the drive to succeed. At a young age this is something not every girl is offered and should be classed as invaluable.

4. As the official jewellery sponsor for our competitions do you have a message for our finalists?

Remember to be yourself, use the pageant to highlight your best features and personality. Don’t hide away and be confident, be noticed on stage and make a lasting impression. What you learn from these pageants take into life with you, remember the passion you had to go to the end and apply it to everything you do. I’d like to wish all the finalists a huge congratulations and thank you for all the time and effort you have put in.

Premier Model Skin Premier Model Skin is a new skincare system selected by Premier Model Management and produced by leading professional skincare brand Monu.

It

is the culmination of a thirty year search by Premier’s founder, Carole White, for the ultimate skincare survival kit for her models. Together with the skincare experts at Monu, White conceived her “Model Kit”: 7 travel-sized essentials in a waterproof pouch, ideal for maintaining a daily skincare regime – even on the road.

Used by professional models, the Model Kit provides a capsule collection of skincare essentials specially formulated to help

maintain a clear complexion and achieve “model skin”.

“A model’s life is spent almost constantly on the move, whether in an airplane or on a location shoot.

This hectic, stressful lifestyle plays havoc with the skin. During the course of my many years as a model agent, I have tested literally hundreds of beauty products in search of a pure and simple, yet effective skincare solution, but have never found what I was after.

So I decided to create a line of beauty staples which were not only

the best quality, but could easily travel and would be affordable for the younger models. I discovered Monu a few years ago and approached them as a potential partner for a Premier skincare range. I was absolutely thrilled to find that they already produced almost everything I needed.”

Carole White, founder of Premier Model Management.

The launch of Premier Model Skin coincides with TV series: “The Model Agency”, on Channel 4. See our feature on pages 26-29.

The Model Kit consists of seven 30ml model essentials* in a transparent zip-up pouch (all airport legal), making it perfect for maintaining model skin, whether at home or travelling. *Hand & Nail Cream, Facial Scrub, Radiance Balm, Night Cream, Blemish Treatment, Cleansing Wipes and Collagen Eye Pads.

Previously only for professional models, the Model Kit will be available for £45.00 online from March 1 at: premiermodelskin.com

The team at EM were delighted to test the Premier Model Skin range.

The first observation to hit the testing team was that they found all of the products to have a fantastic smell, not too sweet and very clean. The night cream was a real winner for Editor Ruthie D. She says, “It actually made me feel like I had been given a mini face lift.

It absorbed into my skin effortlessly making it feel nourished and instantly firmer. Always a bonus at my age!” Paulina thought the blemish treatment was miraculous. “It works! How amazing is that?

Almost instantly as well. With so many of these products on the market that don’t really seem to make any difference it is so good to know that there is one now available.”

A top example

of London Fashion Week

By Colin Hampden-White

Colin Hampden-White goes backstage to photograph and experience London fashion week.

London fashion week: Topshop Unique AW11

It’s that time of year again. The

fashion shows, how we love them, frantic, bustling, exciting, aweinspiring and fabulous.

Set up starts weeks before the show. For the clothes to be seen, stages must be set, backstage make-up and hair dressing areas organised, Blonstein have lights to be arranged and lighting to design, sound systems to set up and the catering brought in. Streaming Tank need cameras positioned, computers and mixing desks set up - they stream everything to the world so that millions of people who can’t be there can also enjoy the fantastic shows.

Hours before any high-heeled foot is ready to step onto the catwalk, the make-up teams, hair dressers, dressers and designers arrive to set up. Then the models arrive and make-up starts. The clock is ticking, everything must be perfect in only an hour or so and the air is super-charged with concentration mixed with

18

Every Model Magazine

excitement. The models move on to hair, with make-up artists constantly circling to touch up.

The smell of hair spray permeates the back stage area. The models start to get dressed, with a team of dressers for each model, with hair and make up close at hand for touch ups.

The backers, owners and influential editors have now arrived. Philip Green, Topshop’s owner, chats to his in-house design team and Anna Wintour, worldfamous editor of American Vogue and give a TV interview. Now that the girls are dressed, they line up in their pre-destined order for the final checks.

Out at the front the guests find their seats, there is a low clamour of voices chatting. The lights go down, the last few people scurry to their seats, silence and the show begins.

Fays Column…

Is it nearly April already? The year is flying by at Celebrity Publicity with the industry keeping us manic as always.

I’ll give you a quick re-cap on what we’ve been doing and our projects you may benefit from, but my main focus from now until July is Miss London 2011.

After

working so closely with Every Model Magazine’s heat, Miss Every Model last year, and in turn Miss England, I decided to take on the challenge myself and launch my own contest!

We hope you love this month’s Angie Sinclair front cover and inside spread shot by Alan Strutt for UK Model Folios. It was so exciting to work with Angie again after we produced her first calendar in Thailand last October.

Ruth gave us a spec of the type of shoot she wanted and I worked alongside Alan to create something with a real spring-feel. The styling and lighting is fresh, feminine and sophisticated, whilst also fun and sassy, which perfectly describes Angie. Though I love all the shots and think Angie looks stunning 22

Every Model Magazine

(every bit the Miss England she once was) my favourite is probably her clasping her Chanel handbag.

It was something we came up with on the spot and reflects that side of Angie, not taking herself too seriously. After all, love for handbags, especially Chanel is something all of us ladies can relate to. I always say mine have human feelings! Now my goal is to save and buy said handbag, alongside paying for a mortgage and wedding... Hmm. Another UK Model Folios shoot in here this month is the stunning Miss Every Model 2010, Kayleigh Fay Hewitt. I was fortunate enough to be a judge on the panel at last year’s final and Kayleigh immediately stood out to me with her feminine curves and beautiful

face. We shot her winner’s shoot for the cover of the September edition and I was impressed at how capable she was despite being a newbie in the modelling world. However, I must say meeting her again back in February I was blown away by how much she has improved, and she’s looking hotter than ever. I believe Kayleigh should be the next model in a huge lingerie campaign and a pin-up equivalent to all the greats like Kelly Brook, and so the shots we’ve taken are aimed at an audience for FHM and the likes of La Senza, Rigby and Peller, and Marks and Spencers... Watch-this-space. If nothing else Miss EM has the perfect body, smile and my, oh my, those legs. We all had strong leg envy that day!

And now for the big one, Miss London 2011. London is a place I hold very dear to my heart because I grew up there and am incredibly proud of my city roots, and so for me to be finding the person to represent it is a huge deal. As I am a late comer to the heat only becoming the official licensee just one week ago I am under even more pressure than ever, and that’s a lot of pressure but I have to say it’s such fun organising the event and meeting all these beautiful, talented ladies that are entering my contest. The winner will represent London for a year and win a contract

with top modelling agency Muse Management UK, and my PR company Celebrity Publicity too.

Alongside other amazing prizes, including direct entry to the Grand final of Miss England, Miss London will also win a spread in this amazing magazine, Every Model shot by celebrity photographer sensation, Alan Strutt. The final will take place on Saturday 28th May at London’s hotspot Cafe de Paris in Leicester Square and I am just buzzing about it. All that’s left for me to do is encourage you all to enter so visit www. ukmfpageants.co.uk to review our entry rules and if you qualify then send in two images to info@ ukmfpageants.co.uk. Good luck. It is an amazing opportunity for any young woman out there that wants to put her stamp on society and gain exposure worldwide.

Well that’s it from me, between starting my first audition rounds for the semi-final of Miss London 2011 next week (you better enter quickly) I am also organising the renowned calendar/portfolio trip to Thailand, which by popular demand will be running twice this year; the first one in May. For more info on that just email us info@ ukmodelfolios.co.uk... Phew, that’s me occupied for the next few months. Look forward to catching up with you all somewhere in between!

Kayleigh’s diary

Miss Everyl Mode0 201

Kayleigh writes her final column for Every Model Magazine as the reigning Miss Every Model. She talks about her future plans and how networking and determination pays off.

Great

new year so far. I turned twenty one and I think this past year has been a turning point for me. I have got lots of plans that are finally being put into action.

I have fashion shows coming up around the country. I have met lots of people in the last year and after having introduced myself I have hassled them until they see me doing my thing and then when they like me, they book me. Note to models: Networking is key in this business.

I have got a new look for the year as well. I was feeling the need for one so I had my hair extensions taken out and a long bob put in. I have had a great response to this too. A new look meant new pictures though, but I love shoots the most so I went to London to see the amazing Mr Alan Strutt and Fay at UK Model Folios. Ruth and EM Magazine organised with them, an FHM type of shoot which I loved.

I cannot wait to get the pictures back to send out and start getting more work.

I have also been busy judging my local Sheffield’s next top model contest. I really enjoyed being on the other side judging. I felt like Cheryl Cole. I was so nervous for all the contestants but know that they are all there for one reason... to win! This being a modelling competition rather than a pageant was great experience for me. And I felt my results were all judged fairly. I worked alongside one of my agents and she seemed to agree with my judging so that was good. I hope I am a very honest and fair person and diplomatic with my judgement. I can’t wait to be judging Miss Every Model 2011 and I am looking forward to meeting all the girls and the next Miss Every Model 2011 and maybe the next Miss and Mr England.

With the wedding season coming up I have modelling work booked in and I was at the Harrogate bridal show at the beginning of March. I love the

whole atmosphere there and you are guaranteed to see most of the models you know if you are local.

Its like a models yearly meeting in March. I met Jimmy Carr and accidentally called him Alan Carr... oh dear! I am sure as a result I will end up in his stand up about ditsy models. Sorry girls and guys!

I can’t wait for the next couple of months to see my future plans put into action.

I would like to wish the next Miss Every Model contestants the best of luck. I can’t wait to meet them all. To the next Miss Every Model, take full of advantage and enjoy every minute.

This year has been a huge eye opener to the life I want to be part of and the career I want to progress in. It’s given me a huge confidence boost and helped me move forward in life.

I would like to thank Ruth Deane for being such a great help and guide and Kat Hodge for being a huge inspiration. I wouldn’t have done every thing without you both and met the great people I have.

Good luck all and see you in the future.

Every Model Magazine

know I have often wondered what it would really be like behind closed doors in a modelling agency office, or at the booking table. Other than reading features in mags like EM this is something that most of us, models or otherwise, can only speculate.

Channel 4’s ‘The Model Agency’ has provided us all with another dimension into the world of agents, bookers, models and fashion.

Premier Models don’t just pose behind the cameras, they also feature in advertising campaigns, TV commercials and

fashion shows – Prada, Alexander McQueen, Vivienne Westwood, Roberto Cavalli, Louis Vuitton and Christian Dior to name a few.

The documentary looks inside the offices of Premier Model Management to show us all the realities of life in the world’s most glamorous industry. We see the ups and downs of the models’ journeys that are focused on during the show and the struggles that the agency workers have in order to be efficient and successful.

Anthony, is the ‘Director of

Scouting’ for Premier. He reveals his method of scouting a girl at a young age, such as fourteen in order that they can be nurtured, educated and prepared until the age of sixteen where they will then be ready to be presented with opportunities such as catwalk or photo shoots to kick start their career.

I caught up with Sissy Best, founder of Premier Carole White’s only daughter, to get her view on the new show and an insight into her world in between her busy schedule.

L-R Chris Owen and Carole White at Premier model agency

IL Hi Sissy, so what is your main role at Premier Model Management?

SB I manage the new girls that we take on, either from the UK or international girls that we take on from agencies worldwide. I look after them and push them towards the right kind of clients for around 3 years, until they move over to Main Board.

IL And can you tell us a bit about the company?

SB Premier has always been a family run business with Carole looking after all that goes on the

main booking table, while Chris manages all our special projects. It’s our 30th anniversary this year.

IL Congratulations to you all!

What is it like being involved in this type of programme, showing the reality behind closed doors of a model business?

SB It’s quite difficult, but I hope we can get an honest impression over to the general public to dispel some of the myths that have formulated about the industry over the years.

Everyone thinks its like Americas Next Top Model and it’s not!

IL How do you think the show will reflect the modelling industry in terms of positive or negative opinions?

SB I think that people with either love it or hate it. People think that we work in a very decadent industry that can sometimes be true, but mostly it’s hard graft. The programme tries to show a typical day in the office while still being entertaining, and some people will think we are all idiots who take things too seriously, others will hopefully see that both the staff and the models work very hard at their jobs to try and keep a good balance.

IL Well, I’ve watched the first three episodes now and I certainly love it. Now, what many readers would like to know is how did you start out to get to where you are today?

SB Carole’s PA went back to Australia for three months and Carole asked me if I could fill in while she was away. I started doing just 3 days a week and then I was eventually in every day. Emily came back and I stayed on but I just never left.

IL What’s your personal opinion of your experience in this type of industry?

SB When I was fifteen I tried modelling, but I was terrible! I couldn’t read a map (still can’t) and I found it very difficult. I did enjoy shooting though, and most of the photographers and teams that I shot with were very pleasant and looked after me. Castings could be quite brutal at such a young age, there is always the typical story where you hear about clients looking models up and down and then shouting ‘next’

without even seeing your book, it happens! I stopped after about a year of part time modelling to go traveling and do ‘normal’ jobs.

Eventually I found myself on the other side of modelling, which I much prefer. It helps me a lot to have some experience of what modelling can be like when I am dealing with young girls who get upset and feel rejected.

IL And do you have any advice to aspiring models?

SB Be confident and don’t take anything to heart.

IL What was your most embarrassing moment?

SB I was asked this recently and I can’t think of anything that was terrible. Oh! I went to a party on a boat and ended up falling down a flight of stairs and crashing into the legs of a very stylish lady. That was pretty embarrassing.

IL What has been your most stressful moment whilst working at Premier?

SB Show week! It’s intense and everyone has their fingers crossed for our girls to do well. The girls get tired and sometimes come in crying because they didn’t book a certain show. As an agent you then have to sit with them and try and explain why they haven’t done so well this season as last season, and sometimes there isn’t really any reason. It can be quite soul destroying.

IL Thank you Sissy for your great insight into the industry. One last question, who inspires you the most?

SB That’s definitely my mum!

You can catch Sissy on the show ‘The Model Agency’ Wednesday evenings at 10pm.
