Miss Fresh Teen Makes an Entrance at The Clothes Show Live

What a fortnight it’s been for the Fresh Academy!  We’ve been participating at The Clothes Show Live at the NEC Birmingham from the 2nd December up until last week, 7th December and it was awesome!  The show was packed full of shopping, shows, exhibitors, fans and of course some really special celebrities who were milling around – we had plenty of visitors to the Fresh stand.  Celebrities included The Risk, Alexandra Burke and some of the cast from TOWIE – we were definitely a little star struck throughout.

For us, the most exciting part of The Clothes Show Live had to be the final of Miss Fresh Teen. Two week’s ago on Monday, 28th November there were 18 national finalists of Miss Fresh Teen who were invited to take part at the Fresh Academy in our hometown of Watford where they each had the opportunity of a professional photo-shoot, interview round and finally a fun fashion show.  We had a really tough decision to make but finally selected three absolutely incredible finalists, Lucy Whidett, age 18 from Guildford, Tiffany Henley, age 17 from Bristol, and 17 year old Lauren Peters.  These gorgeous girls were whisked to the Clothes Show Live, along with Alize Lily Mounter who is of course, the current famous Miss England and off they went to see who was to be crowned with the Miss Fresh Teen coveted title!



So who won this terrific title?  Well – after a tough contest, we were thrilled to crown Lauren Peters who became Miss Fresh Teen 2011.  Lauren, who comes from Essex, won superb prizes including a whopping £500 to spend on Lipsy clothing, and a shoot with the brand plus a fashion portfolio from ourselves worth £1000 which will be compiled with Lauren’s best images taken at our Watford Fresh Academy studio.  Lauren also wins £1000 prize money, and a sought after place in the Miss England semi-final which is held on 2nd April at Champney’s Springs.  Phew – that’s quite a list. Lauren takes over from Miss Fresh Teen 2010, Courtenay Thomas.  Good luck Lauren – we hope you enjoy your year as Miss Fresh Teen, look forward to seeing you soon at the Fresh Academy.
