IT'S time to slap on your make-up and dig out your favourite party frock as Miss England launch their search for a Bedfordshire beauty to represent her county.
Emma Allan, Miss England's regional beauty pageant co-ordinator, is searching for 17 to 24-year-old confident and intelligent women to follow in the footsteps of Eaton Bray blonde Karlene Vardy who won the 2006 title.
Emma said: "I'd like girls from all over Bedfordshire to apply not simply from the area where the contest is being held.
"I'm also looking for small local businesses who would like to take advantage of promoting their products and services free in return for prizes for the winners.
"I'm especially looking for health and beauty, travel prizes, and an overall event sponsor."
This is the third successive year for Miss Beds; in 2006, Karlene took the title and last year's winner was Anna Lovato.

Guests front row at the Luella show were in danger of upstaging the models at London Fashion Week on Thursday as the capital's coolest young things stole the limelight with their sartorial savvy. While chic ensembles are the norm for runway viewing, Smile singer Lily Allen and her actress pal Jaime Winstone flew the flag for cool Britannia with their style-forward approach.
Twenty-two-year-old Lily went for a sexy gothic look, teaming a floral dress with deep red lips, while Jaime opted for a daring plaid micro mini dress. Rock chicks Kelly Osbourne and Kimberley Stewart, meanwhile, were both monochrome visions, with the former looking particularly glam in a black cocktail dress.

The high priestess of punk, Dame Vivienne Westwood, who has vowed to vote Conservative at the next election, could not resist a political statement at her first catwalk show in London for 10 years.
She opened her Red Label collection at London Fashion Week with a male model wearing "Guantanamo Orange" underpants and a girl carrying a placard protesting for the rights of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay.
Star models included the daughter of actor Ray Winstone, Jaime, in a plaid micro-mini and the socialite Alice Dellal, in hot pants with her hair half-shaved in a punk tribute to Dame Vivienne.
The collection covered looks from Miss Marple to Miss Moneypenny, and models with teased "Penelope Tree" hair and platform shoes.
Dame Vivienne took her bow in a pencil skirt, platforms and a blouse covered with protest badges.

At Gareth Pugh we learned that "model agencies are over," according to Nicola Formichetti, fashion director of Dazed & Confused magazine. He should know, as he's the man responsible for the rise of model Luke Worrall, dubbed "The male Agness Deyn."

Worrall sat with Formichetti during a rare off-catwalk moment and listened while Formichetti told us, “The future is all about the MySpace kids. I’m on it at least three times a day.

“Take a look at these pictures,” university rector Todor Radev told some instructors in the staff room. Displayed on the computer screen that he indicated were the photos of several young women. “Now, which of them do you think is the most beautiful?” At first they thought it was a dating site, or perhaps some kind of joke. Emil pointed to the second photo. “Daaattttt! Wrong,” Radev said. “You should have picked her,” explained Valyo pointing to the fifth picture, that of Maria Radeva.
Unlike the Miss America and Miss Universe pageants, not many people have heard of the Image Model Search contest, including those in Las Vegas, Nevada, the location of the venue. In Bulgaria virtually no one has. That was until October 27 2007, when the newspaper, Dobrouzhinska Tribuna featured an article about how Dobrich-born Maria Radeva had made it to the semi-finals.
In its third year, the Image Model Search contest differs from its more highly acclaimed counterparts in several ways, most notably its size, scope and premise. Another is that the organisers had opened the selection process in the run up to the finals to anyone who had access to a computer and internet.

NEW YORK: A sculpted winter coat the color of a juicy orange told the story from Narciso Rodriguez. Techno tutus, knits woven into a rainbow coalition and dresses dripping red like blood sang out the message at romantic Rodarte. And Matthew Williamson wove it all together with his patterns of cross-stitch samplers.
The focus of the fall/winter 2008 season is primarily on colors. And this from a city where wearing any color as long as it is black has long been a mantra - at least for daytime clothes.
But in New York, the excitement over the Super Bowl on Sunday and the presidential nomination contests on Tuesday seems to have seeped into fashion. Bland has been banished. And if, in some cases, the mixes of color and texture seem over the top, they still add dash to winter dressing.

NEW YORK (AP) — The fall trends shown Saturday at New York Fashion Week are bound to cause a collective shiver: Along with chunky turtlenecks and peacoats, prepare for super-short miniskirts.
The leggy look was big at shows for Nicole Miller, Lacoste, BCBG Max Azria, Erin Fetherston, Abaete and Kimora Lee Simmons' Baby Phat line — among the early previews for editors, retailers and stylists at the tents at Bryant Park.
Most minis were paired with opaque tights and ballet flats, a good sign for women who bought into those trends last fall. Treat those things with care and you'll get another season out of them.
Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week still has plenty of time for new "it" items to emerge. Runway shows run through Feb. 8 with Oscar de la Renta, Diane von Furstenberg, Zac Posen and a new incarnation of Bill Blass yet to preview their collections.

When fashion photographer Solve Sundsbo started his career, for a while it seemed as though he would get no further than the dole queue. "People would say to me, 'I'm not sure I can hire you, I'm not sure what you're doing. What is your style?' I was mortified and thought I was never going to make a living as a photographer."
The problem was that curiosity had got the better of the young Norwegian and he couldn't help but embrace every photographic technique going. His work incorporated everything from X-rays and 3-D scanning to hi-tech manipulation and laborious hand-painted retouching. "If I've got a style," says Sundsbo, "it's that I've got no style."
Undeterred, and still in his early twenties, Sundsbo hopped on a plane to London to set about seeking his fortune. And four months into a photography course at the London College of Printing he got a call from Nick Knight, who was looking for an assistant. For a young fashion photographer, there are few better places to start. Knight is not only regarded as one of the world's most visionary fashion photographers, but his Show Studio gallery continually pushes the boundaries of artistic possibilities. "It was hard – almost medieval in the way that you devote yourself utterly to your teacher for nearly four years. But you get that same devotion back from your teacher."

Less than a week before the Fashion Week festivities begin, models were racing around the city for castings and fittings. NY1's Cheryl Wills has more during the station's coverage of Fall Fashion Week '08 on what one top modeling agency and its models do to prepare for the big shows.
Ali Stephens, 16, was at a fitting last week for the Rag and Bone fashion show. Just one of several she had to scurry to on the days leading up to Fashion Week.
"It's been pretty crazy just running from one place to the other, but I like it," she said.
Stephens signed with Elite Model Management in September 2007 and was soon off to Milan and Paris fashion weeks, making her debut at Prada. She's also landed the spring campaign for Chloe. This is the first time the Utah teen will be walking the catwalks in New York.

Last night at around 8 p.m., André Benjamin (a.k.a. André 3000) showed up at a party space in Rockefeller Center, where GQ and the C.F.D.A. co-hosted a celebration honoring the best new menswear designers in America. After Mr. Benjamin, 32, said hello to GQ’s editor-in-chief, Jim Nelson, the ever-nattily-clad OutKast musician-actor-designer spoke with the Daily Transom about, among other things, cool clothes.
“To be honest, I don’t really follow the new, 'it' fashion thing,” he said, responding to a question about what Mr. Nelson has called “an exciting and pivotal time for men’s fashion.” Mr. Benjamin went on, “I’ve heard people talking about it; I’m actually here to see what’s going on.”
