Following the success of the last year’s event, The Marlowes Shopping Centre has once again teamed up with The Gazette to bring the fashion catwalk to Hemel Hempstead. So here’s another opportunity for all budding fashion models - boys, girls, women and men - to take that first step to catwalk fame. And you can do it for free!
All model hopefuls, from four years of age upwards were invited to attend scouting days at The Marlowes on Saturday 18th August and 8 September.

Eileen Gannon, Marketing Manager at The Marlowes says “This is a fantastic opportunity for everyone, as they will gain tremendous experience from all the tuition being given. Just come along and enjoy the moment, no matter what your age, because you never know what could happen. Let The Hemel Hempstead Modelsearch provide that first stepping-stone to fame.”
One of last year’s adult winners, Yasmin Betts from Hemel Hempstead, used her Marlowes experience to enter the TV show ‘Britain’s Next Top Model’. Although Yasmin made it through to the last casting, unfortunately she didn’t make it onto the television show itself. The Marlowes Modelsearch experience gave her the confidence and knowledge of how to present herself, how to stand and dress appropriately. This year Yasmin is featured on the Modelsearch leaflet flier and will be working on the scouting days in the Shopping Centre.
If you’re willing to grace the malls of Hemel Hempstead as an aspiring model, just remember that those adoring spectators may also include experts scouting for ‘future looks’. The judging panel itself will be comprised of representatives from Modelsearch, The Gazette and some of the Shopping Centre fashion retailers. They’ll be looking for that ‘special factor’ glinting through an essential combination of poise, presence, personality, movement and overall looks.
Tessa Harrison of the Sandra Reynolds Model Agency will invite one male and one female finalist to receive a test photo shoot and an interview at her Norwich and London agency.
The fashion world could be waiting for you; come along and get spotted!
