Elys, dubbed as Wimbledon’s most fashionable department store, recently held a Champagne reception and fashion show this month, starring two of our very own models, Vanessa and Sue.

London’s fashion lovers gathered to enjoy a glass of bubbly and catch our ladies modelling the latest looks from Elys’ stylish brands and hot new labels.

Having modelled a range of day wear and swimwear outfits for the in-store catwalk show, Vanessa, 41, told us she had a “wonderful time”.

“Everyone involved was so lovely. It was great being a catwalk model for the day, having my hair and makeup done professionally and wearing such wonderful clothes. I can’t wait to do it all again! Thanks ever so much Talent Management!”

Sue, 53, added: “The modelling assignment was a really friendly, nice job, and everyone was very welcoming.

“We had to model a variety of outfits on a catwalk in a store to members of the public. There were no complications and the instructions were clear. It was a very fun job with lovely people. I enjoyed it very much, and would hope to be asked again. The client did say that they would re-book Vanessa and me again for the Christmas show, which I would love to do.”

With some great shots from the show, invaluable catwalk experience and earnings of £180.00 per model, it certainly wasn’t a bad day’s work!
