Sugahfix.com launch their search for a Face of 2016 with Una Rodden, Grainne Maher and Pamela Smyth of The Makeup Dept.
Sugahfix.com are looking for the next big thing in fashion and beauty. Teaming up with Northern Ireland’s leaving fashion lights Una Rodden, Grainne Maher and The Makeup Dept – these formidable forces are seeking new faces with model potential to take part in beauty photoshoots and art-style fashion installations
Fashion blogger Aoife ‘Bella’ Malone answered a model call on Sugahfix.com for new faces to front the launch of a pop-up boutique by milliner and award winning accessories designer Grainne Maher for her pop-up boutique Proof in Nov 2011.
Aoife stepped in front of the camera for the first time with the guidance of fashion stylist and photoshoot producer Katrina Doran of Sugahfix.com who spotted her potential immediately.
“Sugahfix was honestly the best platform and starting point that I could’ve asked for. Being thrown into such a professional setting so quickly taught me so much, a great photographer with amazing hair and makeup and gowns worth a fortune was the best way to introduce me into the scene in Belfast. It’s lead me to work with both Grainne and Una countless times and Sugahfix has stayed as massively important for me as it did way back then. I started blogging and I’m even studying fashion at University because of Katrina’s encouragement’!” Aoife Malone.
Sugahfix are on the search for fresh new faces to get involved in photoshoot and fashion show – showcasing some of Northern Ireland’s brightest fashion stars – Una Rodden and Grainne Maher.
Ten shortlisted models will take part in a photoshoot at The Makeup Dept. in Belfast to test their skills in front of the camera and will get the chance to walk in a fashion show featuring Una Rodden and designers from Grainne Maher: Vault boutique.
One overall winner will receive the title of Face of 2016, a couture gown worth £500 by Una Rodden and a selection of jewellery by Grainne Maher.
Judges will include Makeup Designer Pamela Smyth of The Makeup Dept.
“I’m hoping to find some really unique beauty faces. Symmetry is important – but something a bit quirky is always fun to work on. Great bone structure and confidence is more important than flawless skin – we can create that!”
Una Rodden’s fashion shows have become renowned for creativity with fashion film presentation and art installation style shows to showcase her stunning fashion creations. Grainne Maher’s new boutique in Belfast’s Spires Mall stocks a range of luxurious independent designers from throughout Ireland and the UK so the clothes for these new models to work with will be a fashion lovers delight.
The Fashion & Photographic course students at The Makeup Dept. will test their skills creating photographic looks on the girls for their test shoot with Sugahfix’s fashion photographer Kelly McAllister.
“This whole experience will be hugely creative and an amazing opportunity for potential models to test their skill in front of the professionals who will hopefully be booking them for years to come,” Katrina Doran, Sugahfix.com. “To find another ‘Aoife’ would be incredible. Not only is she a great model but her love of the whole experience – and her innate style make her a joy to work with. Aoife launched Grainne’s new boutique ‘Grainne Maher: Vault’ four years after we first discovered her and has been a key ‘face’ for Grainne and Una over the past few years.”
