There was quite a bit of commotion on Carnaby Street (and in TopShop earlier that day) as Kimora Lee Simmons was doing some filmng in Central London. Two cool facts about her: she was five foot ten inches when she was ten years old, and when she was just thirteen she was awarded an exclusive modeling contract with Chanel.

Today we were casting men for Paul Costelloe’s show. We had lots of models attend the casting so we had some really good options. We had quite a few models who had their portfolio on their iPad – each season I see more models with iPads. Most models still have books but I imagine that in the next few years that will change.

I loved that Richard from Next had images of himself at the shows he did. So many models don’t remember what shows they were in but it’s an easy way to see what someone’s done.

Every London Fashion Week about 300 models flock to the Fashion Scout Casting. It’s quite an amazing site.

The Ones to Watch designers with Fashion Scout’s casting director Claire, who was giving the designers last minute tips and advice. It’s a lot to take in when there’s over 300 models, it can be a bit overwhelming.

I recently worked with Jessica P. on a shoot, it’s nice to see so many familiar models all in one place!

I’m seeing more and more models with portfolios on their iPad. Love it!

I was at Elite Models in London today for a meeting and saw this very cool height chart – I never thought a model agency would have a custom branded height chart! I’m styling a show for the Elite Model Look 2011, which features a selection of Elite’s newest models. It should be quite exciting for all the new models as it will be their very first fashion show. The contest was started in 1983…
…and to enter you have to be 172 cm or 5 feet 6.4304 inches!
