The owner of one of Britain's top modelling companies is in Bermuda in search of the quirky and the beautiful as part of a model talent search to launch on Saturday.Brian Brown of McCallion Brown, a model management and production company, is working with a local charity Phenomenal People, to uncover untapped modelling potential in Bermuda.“We're looking for the face of Bermuda,” said Margaret Giloth of Phenomenal Women. “The photos of selected models (men, women and children) will be posted on the McCallion Brown website, which may lead to Bermudians being presented to London area agents including top agent, Models 1.“This is a big deal for Bermuda's young people. I want to do something to stimulate excitement for our youth and to present them with real opportunities to do what they love.”Mr Brown is originally from Wales. His son Scott Brown lives in Bermuda.Mr Brown visits his son often and is here currently, to watch his son play rugby for the Bermuda National Rugby team, in addition to running the talent search.“We are an agency, but we also produce shows for ‘Face of' competitions such as Face of Wales. We thought it would be wonderful to do it in Bermuda.“The great thing about the agency is we have models and children on our books, but we can put them straight into doing shows. “Some agencies don't do productions. That is what we are casting for in Bermuda now.”He said his ultimate dream would be to find another Naomi Campbell, someone with the potential of being a supermodel.He hopes to pull out 20 or 30 people from those who turn out on Saturday and have them professionally photographed the following day.Their pictures will then be put on his company's website which showcases potential models for the fashion and entertainment industry.“Some people we find might be good for the runway, some are photographic and some we would put for commercials,” he said. “There is an opportunity to earn a lot of money with the right commercials and the right things. We are looking for stars.”Mr Brown said he would like to see a full scale fashion week arranged in Bermuda — a large fashion show on Front Street with top models coming in from abroad to take part. He thought it would help to benefit local retailers.On a smaller scale, Mrs Giloth is hoping to use the talent search to compile a pool of people to work in fashion shows in Bermuda.“People are always trying to arrange fashion shows for tea parties and other events,” she said. “I am also looking for people over the age of 40. “We are looking to form a troupe of stylish, sophisticated ladies who like to get out there and express themselves on the runway.”If someone from Bermuda is chosen for work in the United Kingdom, they have to be prepared to live abroad for at least a little while.“If that happened, we would launch an event on a big scale,” said Mrs Giloth. “We are just now looking to get Bermudians some exposure. But if we get them out into the international arena and there is interest, we will do something to sponsor getting them out there.”Mr Brown said: “If someone's child got this, we would have to have permission from our parents that the child can go on our webpage in the UK. We would know they are Bermuda-based.“If a casting director wanted that child, they would have to be prepared to pay the travelling expenses to bring the child over. We don't want anyone exploited in any way shape or form.  We act in the interest of the client and the model. Naturally, we take out 15 percent as our fee.”He said one of the reasons he wanted to do this in Bermuda, is because people here vary so much in phenotype.“There are so many different looks in Bermuda,” he said. “Years ago, in modelling, you had to be a certain way — beautiful or handsome. Now, you can be quirky. They want different. That is the key, now. That is a wonderful thing. It is very broad over what we want now. We can have a kid come along now who is not that good looking, but he is totally confident and quirky.”Through a ‘Face of Wales' competition held recently, Mr Brown helped to uncover a model, Amelia K Thomas. She placed fifth in the Britain's Next Top Model competition.“She had never done any modelling before,” he said. “She now has an amazing career. The great thing with our models is that they can go straight into print, because we have our own magazine called Swansea Life.“We have just done the cover on this girl. It doesn't mean a Bermudian couldn't get on the cover of the magazine, because I am the art director.”Saturday's model search will be held at Exclusive Creations Visual Arts Centre on the corner of King and Front Street. There is a $15 registration fee.For more information telephone 734-4034 or e-mail margaretrose07@yahoo.com or bm@mccallionbrown.co.uk . Useful website: www.mccallionbrown@co.uk.
