STAR SPOTTING AT T4

We had an amazing time at T4's Stars of 2009 yesterday where Elite took over the Rimmel Catwalk Stage to launch the very first UK casting for Elite Model Look 2010. Our team of scouts braved the rain to check out the queue at Earl's Court and then race their 10 best finds to our backstage area for the fastest of catwalk classes before the girls were thrown into the spotlight to strut their stuff....

After all 10 girls had walked for the judges our winner was the gorgeous 16 year old Lottie O'Donoughue from Bromley, who impressed us so much that we're putting her straight into our EML final next summer. With 7 whole months to prepare we can't wait to see what she can do...

The stunning Rochelle Wiseman of girl group the Saturdays made time before her apperance on the main stage to add a sprinkling of celebrity sparkle to the judging panel... here she is with our EML UK 09 winner Nyasha Matonhodze, who's looking every inch the supermodel herself!

With our presenters - Hollyoaks' Matt & Darren, plus Paloma Faith, Ke$ha, Example and Rochelle's bandmate Frankie joining us backstage, it was one crowded green room.... EML 09 world finalist Emily Smith made sure she got the shots though - here she is meeting Edith Bowman, who was also presenting on our stage

PLASTIQUE FANTASTIQUE!

Georgie Wass for Plastique shot by Simon Emmett

What a month it’s been for amazing editorials! One of our favourites, Georgie Wass shows us how it’s done in the current issue of Plastique magazine. Smouldering makeup, huge hair and an array of fierce poses help transform our fresh faced girl from Australia into one hell of a Rock Star. We cant wait for Georgie to come back to London and with new material like this, who knows what direction her career is going to take!

BARBORA'S NEW LOOK

Hot off the Burberry catwalk, Barbora Dvorakova continues to do us proud in this striking shoot for Amica Magazine shot by Mark Pillai.

It’s hard to believe this is the same girl we saw in Teen Vogue only last month and if this is a taste of what’s to come we cant wait to see more!

Juniper Rose for Donna Karan Jewelry

Every fashionista should be eying for Juniper Rose's creations for Donna Karan jewelry. Juniper Rose created some of the most must-have accessories for this season. Her designs will make you look tough and chic at the same time. I can associate Kristen Stewart's current fashion style with these leathers and crystals.

The Necklace costs $895 and Cuff is $595 at Donna Karan New York. Know more about these accessories from Net-a-porter's interview with Juniper Rose.

MICHAELA FOR ARMANI EXCHANGE

Michaela Hlavackova is back with a bang this season, with the Armani Exchange campaign first out of the blocks. We've been loving Tom Munro's work with Constance over the last few months (Moschino, Vogue Nippon) and aslo with Elisa Sednaoui on Love Moschino, and his sleek and sexy story is the perfect vehicle for Ms H. Great behind the scenes footage too...

TOP SECRET

The Victoria's Secret Show is always a major event, and with this season's new Angels on show, plus eye-popping acrobats, a choir, another staggering Heidi Klum post-baby appearance and the usual elaborate set (polka-dotted dog balloon, anyone?) the extravaganza was as unmissable as ever. We were thrilled to see Dorothea Barth Jorgensen making her debut at the show alongside VS regular Sessilee Lopez...
