Having just revealed that top model Poppy Delevingne has been appointed Young Ambassador for The British Fashion Council (BFC), we’ve also found out that fellow model and fashion writer Laura Bailey will be joining Delevingne as Cultural Ambassador.

Caroline Rush, CEO of the British Fashion Council, said: “As a model, writer and fashion icon Laura has an in-depth knowledge of the British fashion and film industry that we hope will provide our designers with increased media exposure and strong links with the other creative industries. The most exciting thing about these newly created ambassadorial roles is that they will grow organically into a unique role that best utilises each ambassador’s expertise, contacts and interests.”

London-born Bailey added: “I’m proud of my new ambassadorship with the BFC and I am thrilled to be to working with and promoting young British talent. I think it’s a really exciting time for British fashion – via the shows, in the shops and on the streets. I’m also keen to work with the BFC on their collaboration with the film and art world.”

As with Delevingne, Bailey will be promoting British talent by attending key events including London Fashion Week, the British Fashion Awards and LONDON show ROOMS.

The models will also be meeting with young designers in order to learn about the challenges they face setting up business.

Models Direct wishes the two models the best of luck in their new roles and can’t wait to see the girls in action!
