Jaunel McKenzie enjoyed record-breaking designer runway shows for the industry’s best, season after sand season, and Oraine Barrett and Nell Robinson continue to enjoy excellent bookings with Select.

We are looking forward to their selection, and whoever gets chosen, we are confident will do well,” says Kingsley Cooper, chairman of Pulse Agency. The lucky, young internatio­nal model in the making will likely get a chance to hit the runways of London Fashion Week, which begins in February.
