SELECT MODEL MANAGEMENT LFW

  • Grace Straight

My position was head of the Women's division art department at one of the UK's leading modelling agencies - Select Model Management. Responsibilities included designing marketing communications from brief to final production and overseeing all stages to result in practical concepts that met clients' needs, whilst always adhering to a budget and tight deadlines. Colour correction, type setting, formatting and preparing artwork for final output was an essential part of the role. Other daily duties included updating web pages whilst maintaining an extensive image database and print production equipment. Projects I worked on included publications, posters, brochures, apparel, signage and other marketing material for both print and digital use. This included work for London Fashion Week and Clothes Show Live. I engaged in extensive photo retouching of studio, editorial and commercial images on a daily basis. Shown on this post are designs I created for London Fashion Week (Autumn/Winter 2015). The show pack consisted of around 150 cards, the packages were sent to high-profile international clients, photographers and designers, and were also handed out by the models during Fashion Week and castings. The show packages were also featured on models.com.
