Exciting developments are underway at Elite London today, as the UK-based model management agency – forming part of Elite World, which ranks global number one in modeling networks – launches its shiny new Celebrity ‘Special Bookings’ Division.
The venture will see Elite London take a host of rising stars and established industry names under its wing, spanning the worlds of film, theatre, music and sport. Among them are Hollywood actress Rose Byrne, award-winning singer/songwriter Laura Mvula, supermodel and author Crystal Renn, Brit Award nominee Chloe Howl, singer/songwriters Lianna La Havas and Kyla La Grange, supermodel and artist Tony Ward, and chart-toppers Kodaline.
To mark the unveiling of the Division, Marie Schuller – head of Fashion Film at SHOWstudio – has directed a short film to showcase Elite London’s talent. Composed of distinct individual vignettes set within abstract movie sets, the film takes its cue from the visual language of long-format movie-making, incorporating references, motifs and techniques from the 40s through to the 90s.
