FASHION SCOUT
Fiona Ellis has a very challenging job. Some people think it's a fun way to earn a living, but it's actually very hard work and it can be stressful. Fiona often works long hours and has to travel a lot. What does she do? She scouts for models - that means she looks for new models that could be the next face of fashion. She runs the models department of the talent agency Independent, the agency that represents many of the most famous actors and models in the world, including Daniel Craig (star of the new Bond film) and the model Elizabeth Hurley.
Fiona travels all over Britain looking for new models. She goes to all the places young people go such as music festivals, clothes shops, train stations and clubs. She goes scouting twice a week. Although she sees hundreds of young people in a day, she doesn't often find what she's looking for. In the five years she has been at Independent, they have only taken on thirty-six new models.
Fiona is famous for finding unusual attractive models. So what does she look for in a possible new model? Surprisingly, it is not always beautiful girls. 'People think models have to be beautiful or glamorous, but I look for different qualities ... a special 'something'. That could be the way they walk or their long wavy hair or their smile.' Modelling is not an easy job - the girls have to be punctual and hard-working. Being sociable is important too because they work with a lot of different people. 'It's like being an actor,' says Fiona. 'You have to move your face and body so that the designer and photographer like the image. And you have to do it again and again if necessary. When the photographer strats
you aren't allowed to move until he lets you move.'
