A fortnight before the label unveils its SS15 fashions, on Monday Meadham Kirchhoff part-realised the dreams of numerous fans, putting out a casting call across social media.
Known for their willingness to cast non-models in their fashion week shows, the advertised flyer assured wannabe Cara’s, ‘Typical model looks not required’. A second followed, advising that portfolios, heels and a specific height requirement wouldn’t be necessary either.
The casting takes place next Saturday – 13th September – in Haggerston from midday.

The Selfridges exterior meanwhile, welcomed a new addition this week in the form of a giant Rick Owens statue.
Part of the store’s AW14 creative project, ‘The Masters’ – in which Paul Smith and Jean Paul Gaultier also feature – an in-store shop cum exhibition space, The World of Rick Owens features exclusive products and a unique light and sound installation.
“Selfridges are introducing us to an entirely new audience, which is lovely,” the designer comments in an accompanying video (here). A re-release of ‘The World of Rick Owens’ book will be available as part of the offering, with Owen signing copies at Selfridges on the 13th September.
