Laura Davenport from Wiltshire won the Miss Sixty prize, and of course ALL the girls were winners for Elite London... they worked so hard this week and we're super-proud of them all!

THE FINAL COUNTDOWN!





ELITE MODEL LOOK UK FINAL... We spent Monday black-cabbing around town turning our 11 beautiful finalists into models. The week started with some good old fun stuff... hairdressers, facials, manicures.. and then on Tuesday we put ourselves into the hands of photographer Luciano and superstylist Angie for the amazing final shoot.

THE EML SEMI FINAL











Armed with a mountain of Miss Sixty, shoes from Faith and a ton of makeup and hair goodies from our friends at Jemma Kidd, Jelly Pong Pong and Charles Worthington, we piled into lovely Holborn Studios for a massive modelling workshop. We started with 25, and be the end there were just 10 lucky ladies left in the running....
