The name Kate now seems to be synonymous with amazing tastes in wedding couture. Just over two months since the Duchess of Cambridge glided down the aisle in that McQueen creation, Kate Moss married Jamie Hince wearing a vintage inspired Galliano. Understated glamour is what Kate does best and the floor length fitted dress was no exception. Thesimplistic silhouette echoed the nostalgic elegance of the 1920s while sequins and sheer panelling added drama. A delicately embroidered veil with a smattering of silver sequins was the crowning glory, complimenting Kate’s loose bohemian waves and ethereal beauty.
While Galliano has been unable to avoid the negative glare of the media in recent times, his talent as a designer is undeniable. The fashion world was reminded of his brilliance when pictures of Kate surfaced, prompting glowing reviews. The workmanship of the gown seemed to perfectly capture the very essence of Moss and the free spiritedness she radiates. Surely a welcome commendation for Galliano; who awaits a court verdict in September following his dismissal from Christian Dior.

On a warm Thursday night in Brighton town, in the gothic grandeur of St Martins church BFW 2011 bought us their Brighton Frocks theatrical catwalk spectacular.
The show featured twelve designers and the audience was treated to more than just the standard catwalk, each of the collection put on a performance for the audience with saucy seaside antics, ballet dancers and superheros all mixed up with the designs. Each of the collections was brilliantly unique and kept the audience thoroughly transfixed.
BM Models Bernadette, Bethany and Ngozi walked that night, and looked fantastic on the catwalk for Red Mutha, Former Glory and Afton Ayache.

In a competitive industry it can be difficult for small business and creative graduates to get a foothold in the staggering £37 billion UK fashion industry. This is where Fashion Trust wants to make a difference; they are a Sussex based organisation that aims to help fledgling designers and their new businesses. One way in which they do this is through the Fashion Sussex Award, to raise awareness and profile the various aspects of the fashion industry in Sussex.
This year BM Models is honoured that they have asked our creative director Bethania to be on the board of judges to help decide the winners for 2011.
Find out more about the trust and this years awards on their website: Fashion Sussex

On a Tuesday evening in May in a crowded suite in the Brighton Hilton Metropole, full of the fashionable and stylish of the city, Brighton Fashion Week 2011 launched itself with a bang!
With so much to grab your attention you just didn’t know what to look at, from the models circulating the room, a live photoshoot with Renaissance and Joanne Fleming Designs, to a live set from the talented Marmaduke Dando, not to mention all the fabulously dressed guests your eyes were spoilt for choice.
The night was a triumph, and we now can’t wait for the rest of the week!

Here a BM we are proud to introduce one of our new faces to you, Bernadette. She joined our agency in February after coming along to our open casting, and since then she has been a very busy girl!
Bernadette’s first photo shoot was with Headmasters Salon’s creative team. Headmasters Salon Brighton are wonderful at supporting our new faces, the shoot utilised the skills of their amazing team, make-up by Ellie Gill and was shot by Jesper Mattias for his second collaboration with BM Models.
Her second shoot was a couture photo shoot for upcoming label Featherstone Frock, the photos from which will feature in for both their look book and new website.
Last Friday Bernadette walked for the very first time, after a little bit of training from Bethania, at IGIGI’s charity fashion show to Brighton’s fashion scene. It was an amazing event that we were so happy to be involved with, and the night was a great success!
This week the final year fashion students at the University of Brighton booked Bernadette for their look book, where she was able to model their fantastic creations. BM Models just loves being able to work with, and support fresh talent at universities; after all they are the future of the fashion industry.
This is just the beginning we have a lot more planned in her modelling future, she has already been booked to walk for London Graduate Week in June. So stay posted!
