We've had some amazing feedback over the past couple weeks and it all goes down to the amazing team here at LDN Models. Every member of the team love what they do and want to bring the best out in you. Starting your modelling career can be a daunting prospect but the team work really hard to make the step through the door an enjoyable one.
Here are a couple comments we had back recently.
Apply online at LDN Models to get the opportunity to spend the day with us at the studio. Remember you only get out what you put in so be brave.
My last post was about my love for the new female fluffy fashion item : the fluffy sandal heel. Today I'm going to keep the theme of shoes going but concentrate on some menswear shoe staples I believe are super important to have in your wardrobe. I didn't want our men to feel neglected. : )
Trainers as casual foot attire have always been popular for there comfortability and practicality, however in the past couple years they have started to not only be worn with tracksuit bottoms but also with smarter outfits creating a new phase in menswear fashion.

My second staple is the classic Brogue. I think this is a super versatile shoe. It can be worn to work with a suit or on a casual day with jeans. They come in many different colours which allows you to pick a colour that already works well with the wardrobe you have.
My last pick is the Chelsea boot. For me, even though it's still a versatile shoe if you are able to find a nice suede pair in a black or a dark brown then they should be kept for smart, special occasions. Very easy to wear and as an added bonus NO LACES with this style either!!
At LDN Models we love seeing the outfits you bring to the studio. It show's us a little more of your personality before you've even got on set. Be you, Be fabulous.

So this post may be more female trend orientated but don't worry fellas I'v got your back and will be posting some SS15 male trends this weekend. However, this evening I want to talk about the fluffy heel trend.
I LOVE this trend, not only do they make a super cute outfit extra cute but they can make a more androgynous look a little more feminine.
Style bloggers have gone mad for this trend and they're something you've probably seen floating around on social media sites like Instagram for a while now.

Many high street brands stock this style of sandal heel but to be honest for all you creative hearts out there they're the kind of thing you could create quite easily yourself. Chose a pair of sandal heels you already own and don't mind experimenting with, pick up some fluffy fabulous material from your nearest textile shop and using some fabric glue attach it the front strap of your heel. D.I.Y at its greatest!! Remember to be careful using the fabric glue and read the instructions carefully before use.
Everyone who knows me knows I love socks and sandals - don't judge me! lol. So this look right here is so up my street!!
Can't wait to see if our lovely models at LDN Models Ltd bring anything like this to the studio in this next couple weeks. I'll be checking our Instagram and the LDN Models Facebook page to see what great things have been happening!
So here at LDN Models our number 1 priority is to guide and support your decision to become a model if its something you are serious about. It can be a long and challenging day but it's fun and exciting. Our studio is always busy but we provide a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere as we are aware it can be a daunting day for you if you haven't had any modelling experience. It is normal to feel nervous but everyone working at the studio are industry professionals and love their jobs so trust in our skills.
When arriving at the studio you'll be greeted by our amazing studio manager who will go through the registration form with you and is great opportunity for you the client to ask any questions or queries you have about the day ahead.
You'll then go into styling and the studio stylist will go through the 4 different looks with you for the day and explain how the looks will change to show your versatility in your portfolio.
Hair and make-up will then take over and get you ready for your first look. This is always a very natural look but don't worry this changes through-out the day as your hair and make-up looks are changed for every outfit.
Now you're ready for your first shoot, our model coach will prepare you for this so you feel comfortable on set. They'll go through the industry with you and provide you with some information to help you decide which area is best suited for you. LDN Models knows the scale of the industry and the only way you'll make it is by knowing where you fit into the modelling world.
Posing in front of the camera is obviously a key part of the day and our model coach will go through many poses with you to help you through the London Models experience. These poses vary depending on whether you are a male or female.
The rest is up to you, show us your personality and bring it on set!
After your 4 looks have been shot you will have the opportunity to view your images from the day. They will look amazing and you'll no doubt see yourself in a totally different light. Our viewer will go through the images and discuss what the next step should be for you.
LDN Models provides an experience like no other so don't miss out as the studio gets heavily booked up. Visit the LDN Models website.
Now I'm no make up artist but getting that flawless look is something many of us try to achieve and as we all the Kardashians and the Jenners are huge influencers within the beauty and fashion industry. Kylie in particular has stolen the lime light in the past year or so for many reasons, number 1 being her lips (real or fake?) and number 2 her hair style choices.
I'v touched on her hair styles and various colours before so I thought today I'd concentrate on her make up looks. After watching what feels like a million Youtube Videos on Kylie Jenner inspired looks the basics are all the same. Some people decide to put their base on before they do their eye make up and some prefer to do it after as it means the clean up of eye shadow is easier but it's totally up to you.
1. A good base foundation.
2. Contour and highlight - with Kylie you can keep it quite soft, she's not as strong with the contour unlike her sisters.
3. A neutral eye shadow - so I'm talking browns and nudes.
4. Subtle eye liner - No harsh cat eye flicks
5. Mascara - Obviously!!
6. Nude eyeliner for your bottom waterline - this really makes your eyes pop and makes the white of your eye super white!
7.Lip liner
8. Lip stick
This is what we're aiming for!
Below I'd added a couple of my fav YouTube tutorials on how to achieve her look. Like I said they're very similar but offer different variations in terms of the products you can buy. Some are a little more expensive than others but than at least you have the option to shop around and see which ones work better for you.
One of the most fashion fuelled festivals of the year has started. This year, the first weekend was over the days 10th, 11th and 12th of April and the 2nd weekend (this coming weekend) 17th, 18th and 19th of April. Anyone who's anyone attends and its a great opportunity to see what festival looks will take off over the summer period.
Vanessa Hudgens for me has always set the bar high in terms of her Coachella look. Absolute style icon!
This year Kylie Jenner of course stole the style lime light sporting her blue mermaid locks (100% a wig). It was the centre of her look and everyone's attention. I loved it and even though I have my own opinion on her dressing age appropriately she does kill it with her outfit combo's!
Another Coachella story that's had us all buzzing was Madonna's stage lip locking moment with Drake. He didn't look like he enjoyed it and I don't believe the audience loved seeing it. It seems she'll stop at nothing to get public attention, maybe its time to call it a day Madge.
We love creating festival boho looks in the studio, here's one I worked on a couple weeks ago. Amazing model who already had awesome style. She really got into character when she got on set and the results were epic!
Lily-Rose Depp sounds like a normal 15 year old girls name...with 1 clue about who she may be related to. That's right she's the teenage daughter of Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis. She was brought to my attention when a YouTube video of her went viral. Don't worry, nothing sinister at all, just a montage of clips of her messing around with friends behaving as quirky 15 year old girls do.
A small glimpse into the life of someone we haven'y heard much about up until now. Maybe the likes of Kendall and Kylie have encouraged her to make more public appearances and she definitely knows how to pick them. She arrived at then Chanel Metiers d'Art show in New York with her mother looking super cute in a 2 piece crop top and pencil skirt.
Both mother and daughter looking gorgeous and its easy to see Lily has inherited both her parents good looks. Lets hope she manages to stay grounded despite her making more public appearances.
Happy Monday!

So this week has finally graced us with some decent weather! The denim jackets are out and the woollen boyfriend coats are back in the wardrobe....lets hope it lasts.
Even though in the sun it feels warm as soon as the sun sets the chill sets in pretty quickly which can play havoc with your outfit options.....My advice?....layering up. This allows you to take items off if necessary and still keeping warm in the spring evenings.
This is a unisex look, across both sexes and all trends. Here are a couple of pics to get you inspired.
Feel free to play with fabrics and textures with this trend. No need for consistency here at all, sometimes fashion works in our favour and is all about practicality. It's only April and the weather in the UK modelling industry is very unpredictable so at least with this look you can be prepared.
LDN Models
This lovely model wore this amazing knit jumper on set at the studio which is a perfect example of the kind of items you can wear to create this look. Wear it over the top of an oversized t-shirt, under a light-wash denim jacket and you are rolling. They key thing is to make layers only slightly noticeable. Visit the LDN Models website.
Hope you all had a lovely Easter, just a quick one as I'm sure your all busy enjoying your bank holiday weekend. I just wanted to make a quick prediction of something that I think will make a come back this summer.....the visor....ok, I know some of you are cringing at the idea but I actually quite like this trend. I'm not sure if everyone will embrace this look again and it will be interesting to review this trend later on in the year to see how it caught on.
I have already seen some high-street shops stocking these style caps and have ordered a black and white one ready for my holiday in May. :)
Here are some cute pics to show you guys how they are being worn and the different styles of visor. Don't be shocked if you start seeing some of our lovely models rocking a visor in our future shoots at the studio!
Experimenting with hair colour trends is something A LOT of us do. Over the past couple years pastel hair colours have been a massive trend ranging from pinks, oranges, blues and purples. Kylie Jenner dip dyed her ends turquoise and people went mad for it.
This years hot new colour is grey (believe it or not). People have been trying to cover their sneaky greys for years and now it's fashion so put down the brown hair dye and embrace it!
Bleach London not only do lovely pastel colours but they also have the silver grey in stock so check it out if you fancy a change. If your under 18 remember to check with your parent or guardian before dyeing your hair. There is always a risk of damaging your natural hair when changing the colour as well as not easily getting your natural hair colour back so always think carefully before you do it.
With all that said and done, get playful and enjoy!
