BOOKERS vs THE BLOG - Part 1

Don't tell the models, but Elite London is more than just a model agency. We're lucky to have an amazing team keeping the wheels turning here in sunny north London, and we thought it was about time we introduced them to the world. Herewith our new weekly feature BOOKERS vs. THE BLOG, a peek behind the board in to the often peculiarly twisted and definitely slightly obscure minds of the bookers, agents and artistes that give the agency it's unique personality...

First up is new faces booker James - a would-be Texan cowboy doomed to hailing from Port Talbot. Partial to a tattoo, a good cup of builders tea and the occasioal dabble with double denim. But what's his karaoke song?

What’s your earliest memory?
My earliest memory is... I’m going to say either Sunderland home in the FA cup in 1988 or Christmas at my grandparents place

If you could erase one thing from your CV what would it be?
Retail!

What’s the best fashion freebie you’ve ever got?
I never get freebies (clearly we need to give James a lesson in blagging! - ed.)

LOVE magazine is James's pick of the week

How much is a pint of milk?
43p (only a penny out. He hasn't been fashion-ed yet! - ed.)


What’s your fashion week survival strategy?
Full fat Coke and takeaway food

Most played album on your iPod at the moment?
Tom Waits or the Collins Learn French tutorial :-)

If you could be anyone in fashion for a day, who would it be?
Anna Wintour

James acessorises his desk with the essential in booker nutrition - Creme Eggs


What’s your Starbucks order?
Ummm... I prefer builders tea in my Chelsea mug - which Janie broke

Proudest moment as an agent?
Booking the Agent Provocateur campaign

What would be your last meal?
Can I have two? It would either be my nan’s stew or my mum’s cheese and potato pie but I think I’d have trouble deciding whether I'd want tomatoes or beans with it
 
It wasn't a good hair day so James declined an official portrait

What’s on top of your SS10 wish list?
Chelsea to win the League (We meant fashion item but ok....)

If you had a million pounds what would you spend it on?
A house in Kensington...not that that would be enough. Maybe half a house.

So what’s your karaoke song?
Meat Loaf - ‘Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad!
