Fashion; the silent first impression. I love clothes, and I am constantly looking for something special that makes me so excited that I can't wait to wear it. However, majority of the time this is a rarity. The fashion industry is filled with beautiful size 8 (and smaller) women, which unfortunately does not represent a large proportion of the consumer market.
As a young female who unfortunately is not blessed with a models figure, I find it hard to easily go out and pick up a fabulous item and have the confidence to wear it. I am constantly longing for the time where designers and stylists will realise that not everybody has the confidence to wear tiny hotpants, or bodycon dresses to keep up with the seasons styles, and look amazing. We all know that you don't have to be size 8 to be fashionable and most importantly confident, but there is no-one out there to demonstrate and flaunt that bigger is beautiful.Thankfully, St David's Cardiff is here to the rescue!
St David’s
Dewi Sant, has launched a search for four real women to open the catwalks at
The Fashion Show 2012 later this month. The centre is looking for four local
women with a passion for fashion to be the first models to step onto the runway
on Saturday 28th April to kick off a weekend of free fashion shows
highlighting all the hottest trends for this summer.
The winners
of the competition will experience a day in the life of a model, getting the
chance to have their hair and makeup done professionally and have their outfits
selected by stylist to the stars JP before taking to the catwalk. Each model
will also receive a
St David’s
giftcard so they can pick up some new season trends for themselves!
The lucky
models will be showing off the summer collections from Ann Harvey and Dash and
the show’s model caster is looking for women sized 14 and over who can
confidently show real women how to wear the latest looks!
To enter women must send a headshot and
full-length photo, as well as their dress size, height and contact details to marketing@stdavidscardiff.com by Monday 23rd
April. All entrants must be able to get to St David’s
by 8.30am on Saturday 28th April and be available until midday. The
winners will be selected by the fashion show’s producer and model caster
Vicki Jackson.
So ladies, it's time to shake what your mama gave ya! ;)
