Fashion Fix with Laura Toogood

Model Laura Toogood
Monday, 5 January 2009
Laura has modeled for the last five years. She is signed with Bscene-The Agency in Dublin and Target International in London. She has modeled clothes for Debenhams, Armani, Vila, ICHI and DKNY to name just a few.

You're clearly a fan of fashion. Do you enjoy experimenting with your look?
I am relatively conservative when it comes to experimenting with different themes. I adore the glamorous look, however occasionally I might experiment with a different look depending upon my mood.

Who is your fashion icon or your greatest influence in matters of style?
I think that Eva Longoria was dressed beautifully in the early series of Desperate Housewives. The colors she wore were vibrant and effervescent and the clothes were perfectly tailored. She also shines when on the red carpet.
As a catwalk model I also appreciate the importance of high-fashion designers and their role in influencing trends for the various seasons. High-fashion designers provide fantastic inspiration and are ultimately very influential.

What is your essential beauty item that must be in your handbag at all times?
Before I leave the house I have a little saying; "Phone, keys, wallet." They are the essential three items in my hand-bag, everything else I normally leave at home.

What is your favourite item of clothing that you've ever purchased?
A statement hat that I have yet to wear! I am waiting for the right occasion.
How important is fashion in the world of the music/film industry?
I believe fashion, music and film are all inextricably linked. There is a lot of parallel inspiration among these industries.

How would you describe your personal style?
Fashion is an art and I think it is very important to have a personal style as not all trends will suit every person. Color is crucial to my wardrobe. I am a fan of vivid dresses, tops and accessories, however I also believe sophistication is important. I think vibrant elegance would best summarise what I hope to achieve with my personal style.

Who is your favourite designer? And your favourite high street store?
Matthew Williamson has designed some stunning dresses. I also like the boldness of John Galliano when designing for Dior.I don't often shop in high street chain stores as I like the uniqueness of boutique shops. The boutique shops I visit offer individual pieces for those on a low and high budget.

What is your favourite city to shop in and why?
I take advantage of the extensive shopping that is available in London; however Dublin remains one of my favourite places to shop because I find many dresses here. I visited Rome last April and that was a 'shopper's heaven' - the Italian clothes are stylishly tailored.

What do you feel best wearing?
When I am out in the evenings I love to wear dresses, however when at home I live in my jodhpurs! I feel just as happy in both extremes!

What is the best style advice you have been given?
Don't be afraid to stand out from the crowd.

Emma Quinlan signed by top model agency

With all the festive cheer we forgot to blog this article from Friday's Evening Herald

Emma Quinlan signed by top model agency

By Lorna Nolan
Friday December 19 2008

Model Emma Quinlan has been signed by top agency Starlicious.
The Dubliner will now join the likes of well-known British star Hannah Spearritt, who came to fame during her days with S-Club 7, model Caprice and former Big Brother contestant Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace, who are also represented by the British agency.
Emma is hoping her link to the prestigious agency will help catapult her into the big league, and has already set about making herself known to some of the most influential fashion moguls in Britain.
Having cut her teeth with First Option agency, the well-known model and dancer recently signed up with bscene the Agency.
Since then, she has been desperately trying to shed her image as the snake-charmer, and this may be just the help she needs.
"I was thinking for a long time that it was time for a bit of a change for me.
"I do still love the snakes, but they're just too bloody heavy to carry around, they're about 10 stone each.
"I keep five of them now [she had 15 at one time] but, unfortunately, I can't keep modelling with them for life.
"I'll still bring them out for the club gigs or for MTV or corporate stuff though, I don't have any regrets about using them at all," she added.
And she has no illusions about how quickly her reign at the top could end if she doesn't work hard to preserve it.
"The modelling world is so fickle," she revealed. "You have to make sure you stand out because otherwise you're in one minute and the next thing you know you're out and no-one wants to know about you.
"The modelling industry here is so small you could never really compare it to any other countries.
Ridiculous
"It's a bit ridiculous how it's all about your social status and how much you go out, and not your actual modelling skills," she said.
And while she refuses to succumb to the pressures of the Irish industry, Emma has nonetheless been inundated with work since she left First Option for bscene a number of weeks ago.
However, it hasn't been all good news for the brunette beauty, as last week she was bedridden by a terrible illness.
She was so sick, in fact, that she couldn't even make the agency's star-studded Christmas bash at Krystle nightclub last Thursday.
