Sam Hiscox is back with some titilating shots from the 2nd model castings. You lot are so hot you leave us sweating like we’re polar bears lost in the Sahara. Uh-huh. You make us beg for air-con as we dig out our wayfarers. You’re hot like Britney Spears circa 2000. Point taken we hope.

Model story: Lisa Coles
Call it luck, fate, chance whatever you like, Lisa Coles was in the right place at the right time. Just a normal brighton student by day and Madame Geisha bar girl by night, our Lisa never imagined that she’d go from cocktail maker to catwalk shaker in a matter of minutes on a Monday night.
The Brighton Fash Team have an eye for talent you see and Lisa’s model look didn’t go unoticed at for very long at our model auditions- we had her out from the bar, admin’d, snapped and strutting in record time.
Bewildered? Yes she was…and excited..terrified..hopeful..and wonderous..we could go on with the adjectives all night, but we won’t. Here’s Lisa’s modern day cinderella story in pictures (sans glass slipper but with a very fine, highstreet heel instead!)

Give a warm welcome to Sam Hiscox, local photographic talent and our newest BFW StyleHunter contributor. Sam will be taking to the streets to snap shots of local hotties and fashion fiends, showcasing his work from http://www.dayglo-poster.blogspot.com. Stay tuned for the premiere of Hiscox for BFW, we’re really excited to sample his unique visual aesthetic here on our blog.
We’d hate to tease you with promises of brilliance without giving you anything to sink your artistic teeth into, so feast your eyes on two of Sam’s best loved pictures.
Not shy of expressing our opinions BFW is enamoured with Hiscox’s ‘Naomi’. 50′s kitch and a towerblock? Now that’s our cup of tea. Can you say ‘perfect juxtaposition of background and subject’? We sure can. The contrast between old school glamour with it’s subtle, modest sexiness and the borderline, morose architecture with its uniform structure, create an unexpected visual that manipulates existing ideologies to surprise and delight. An obsession has been born. We’re ready for our next Hiscox fix.
If YOU have an eye for style, whether mainstream or eccentric, and can snap a fierce photo, then contact us to discuss contributing to BFW’s Stylehunter section.

BFW was sent the following info by Tamar Carr-Martindale regarding The Clothes Line, a Brighton-based fashion event. BFW loves to promote events we know our fashionistas might have an interest in. Seems like fun, share, recycle and rework your unwanted clothes to create something beautiful -all in aid of Oxfam. Guilt free fashion, who can resist that?!
————————————————————————————————
The Clothes Line, a revolutionary way to spend a night out!
Already tried & tested in London, New York & Sydney…Clothes line offers the Brightonian fashionistas the chance to up-date their wardrobe without spending a fortune, listen to Brighton’s best new dj’s, meet like minded people, win raffle prizes and help support sustainable fashion in glorious surroundings. Which is a lot to pack into an evening!!
The format is simple: Each guest brings 5 items of decent, lightly worn, clean, clothes, shoes & or accessories that you would be proud to pass on to be swapped on the night. Think of all the miss-styled fashion presents you & or your family have bought you over the year!! (Tamarr has requested no Primark, Peacocks or similar!)
Event date: Thursday 9th April 09
Location: Heist Bar, 57 West St, Brighton, BN1 2RA
Time: 6:30pm – onwards
Purpose: Brighton’s first fashion swap shop to raise money for TRAID Oxfam.

What We Want
Choose one trend, outfit, or visual from the recent AW09/10 runway collections that makes you come out with a bad case of label lust and give us the low down on why it’s so covetable.
A fashion reporter must be able to deconstruct and analyse a designer’s complex vision and translate this to a mass audience in an entertaining, understandable and articulate manner – these are vital skills we will be scouting for. Click either picture to see a written example – we don’t expect it to be a replica, we just wanna see that you LOVE fashion!
