Kirsty Heslewood competes at Miss World 2013

The summer seems to have rapidly disappeared over here at Fresh Academy Watford, but we have plenty of news to be excited about! Last May we met over 30 of the Miss England Finalists competing for the title of Miss Modelesque. The winner would gain a spot in the final 15 of Miss England and would receive a stunning wall hanging from their photoshoot.

We met some beautiful young ladies, and during the last few weeks leading up to the final of Miss England we were all talking about who would be crowned Miss Modelesque 2013!

We were absolutely thrilled to see Kirsty not only win the Miss Modelesque title, but go on to be crowned Miss England 2013!

We're now avid fans of Kirsty, she came back to visit for part of her portfolio shoot just before departing for Miss World and she did an amazing job - here is one of our favourites from the shoot.

There are only a few days left of the Miss World event. Throughout the month-long event Kirsty has been keeping us up to date via her facebook page. We were thrilled to see her reach the semi-finals of The Beach Fashion contest, and today she made it to the top 10 in the Top Model Award!

She is the first ever Miss England to make it to the top ten in this round. The final part of the Top Model Award takes place tonight - keep an eye on the Miss World News to find out how she does!
