Fashion Garments

A TOP London model agency went scouting around Sheffield searching for beautiful people who could be the next big thing in the fashion world.

Storm Model Management, the company which discovered supermodel Kate Moss, arrived in the city as part of a tour with coach company National Express.

The two firms have joined together to find the next big thing, taking part in a road trip around the country to see what different cities have to offer. The spotters arrived at Sheffield’s Pond Street bus station, before heading off on a tour around the city.

Potential models discovered during their visit will be entered into a national contest, where they stand the chance of winning a contract with Storm.

Steel City residents with aspirations of becoming talent scouts were also encouraged to submit photographs of the wannabe models they believed could make the grade.

They too will be entered into a competition searching for a gifted talent scout, with a trip to London for a work experience placement with Storm up for grabs.

Sarah Doukas, managing director of Storm, said: “We’re really confident we’ll find some incredible British talent to work with.

“It’s a great opportunity for us as it’s a unique idea. We’re very excited about who could be out there just waiting for a lucky break.”
