Over 400 aspiring models
attend open casting
OVER 400 aspiring models strutted into St George's Hall on
Wednesday 27 July 2016, hoping to be the face of the North West Fashion
Festival. The wannabe models were attending an open casting held by the
organisers of the North West Fashion Festival who were scouting for fresh new
faces to take part in NWFF 2016 which will be held at St George's Hall in
October 2016.
The judges were extremely impressed with the calibre of models who auditioned at
the castings, including:- men, women and children. The models will be selected
by a panel of industry specialists which included:- Karen Beardmore (Mode Mwah
Designer), Mark Byron (Big Brother), Charlotte O'Brien (NWFF Model
Choreographer) and Lauren Greene (Founder of NWFF).
They were put through their paces and asked to walk on the runway, before being
photographed by a professional fashion photographer. The judges now have the
difficult task of trying to decide who will go forward to model on the main
runway at the NWFF 2016 this autumn and will be deliberating over the coming
week.
The 2 day festival will take place on 22 October and 23 October 2016 and will
celebrate and experience the wealth of fashion talent and expertise the region
has to offer. The festival is 1 of the biggest fashion and beauty events to come
to the North West and is the perfect platform for aspiring models to be spotted
and signed to national agencies.
Successful candidates will be given a great opportunity to work with incredible
beauty and fashion brands.
Director, Lauren Greene, is thrilled at the response to the casting call, she
said:- "We were absolutely overwhelmed at the NWFF 2016 casting, with over
400 people through the door. People came from all over the North West to
audition. We had around 250 amazing children who came along to the casting with
lots of siblings auditioning. We were looking at how they walk on the runway,
how confident they were and how they came across on camera. They were all
gorgeous; it's going to be so hard to choose!"
Now in its 3rd year, NWFF has become the biggest style celebration in the North
West and the highlight of the fashion calendar which brings together the
region's leading influencers, designers and fashion crowd in luxury style.
Thousands of style savvy guests are expected to grace the famous St George Hall
