MISS BIRMINGHAM TO PRESENT AWARD AT BIRMINGHAM INTERNATIONAL FASHION WEEK

The reigning Miss Birmingham will be a special guest at Birmingham International Fashion Week this weekend, as she hands out an award to a budding young model.

Kris’ina Jagpal, who won the chance to represent her home city of Birmingham last year, will present a special prize for the The Face of Birmingham International Fashion Week 2013.

Birmingham International Fashion Week (BIFW) is teaming up with Inter Lens Model Management to help find people with the potential for a career in modelling, with the winner being named on Sunday afternoon and rewarded with a professional photoshoot and the offer of a contract with the agency.

Kris’ina Jagpal, who was crowned Miss Birmingham last March, certainly knows her stuff when it comes to style and is due to graduate from her fashion course at Birmingham City University this year. She has also graced magazine covers, starred in music videos and attended numerous glamorous events since winning the Miss Birmingham title.

She is also now helping to find her successor, with applications for Miss Birmingham 2013 now open. The search for Miss Birmingham is much more than an old-fashioned beauty pageant or modelling competition, judges will be looking for someone who can be an ambassador for the city and help to raise the profile of many worthy causes across the West Midlands throughout the year.

The competition is open to 17 to 24-year-olds who live, work or study in Birmingham or the surrounding area, but younger fashion fans can also get involved in the Junior Miss Birmingham contest, open to 13 to 16-year-olds. If you or anyone you know would like to enter, visit www.missbirmingham.co.uk before March 29.

For more information on the competition to find The Face of Birmingham International Fashion Week 2013 click here.

Birmingham International Fashion Week takes place on March 9 and 10 at Millennium Point, with tickets available here.

KAMEELION WILL BE PERFORMING LIVE AT BHMFW!

 The talented young singer/songwriter who is only 20 years old, from Rhyl, in North Wales and performs under the name Kameelion. In early 2011, when he was just 18, he started writing/recording my own songs and got discovered and signed up by a top London manager named Albert Samuel.With quotes such as “Pet Shop Boys meets Calvin Harris”; his catchy melodies and honest meaningful lyrics makes 20 year old Kameelion a certain radio-ready act to watch out for in 2012 and is destined for chart success.



Kameelion is currently managed by London based Mission Control, who have managed and produced Tinie Tempah, Professor Green, Modestep, Fugative, Aggro Santos, Loick Essien and many others. After a hard working solid year of developing a fan base, writing and producing songs and performing across the UK. Over the past two years, I has been writing and recording music and my style is very much house/pop/electro and has been named in the press as ”Pet Shop Boys vs Calvin Harris”.


I have developed an ever growing fan base in the UK and even worldwide, over 50,000+ followers on along with the famous “blue tick verified” Twitter account. I have performed all around the UK, promoting myself to large audiences from fashion events, festivals, nightclubs to charity events. My album “The Boy Who Made Sounds” is on iTunes now, along with my single “Don’t Even Know Your Name”; which are selling well across Europe.

Kameelion will be performing live at Birmingham Fashion Week on Saturday 9th and Sunday the 10th March! Please check the show schedule for full details. www.bhmfashionweek.com/schedule
