Model of the year 2011 Nominee Eunice: .Move over Niomi Campbell!..Eunice was originally scouted aged 15 by select models while in London for the summer visiting family. As a bit of a tom boy Eunice knew nothing of fashion and make up. This was the main reason that she did not start modeling until several years later. For Eunice, modeling at all was a dream so far away it took her years to even believe it was true. Then another to admit it in public! Growing up in Edinburgh she was extremely self conscious about her dark skin and curly Afro hair. Especially being the only girl of her complexion from nursery until she reached her final year of university. Her studies took her from her home country of Scotland to England and America and while on her travels she was scouted again by Whilimena and later for Britian’s Next Top model. When she arrived back to Scotland she decided to give it a try and was signed to the local top agency. Since then she has worked all over the world including UK, Japan, U.S.A., Paris, Milan, Barcelona, Poland, Germany, UAE fashion weeks, as well as appearing in campaigns and editorials. Much of her time is spent fund raising for numerous charities including Children’s Hospice Scotland. Over the years Eunice has been signed with several top agencies including Mainboard and Viva, (who represent Agynees Deyn), as well as AMQ, Ford, IMM Dusseldorf, MC2 and Mega (with girls such as Alek Wek). She has shot and appeared in some of the most prolific and inspirational publications as Dazed & Confused, Tank Magazine, ID, London Fashion Week Daily, Luire Magazine Japan, New York Magazine, Bahrain Confidential the cult classic WAD Magazine in Paris. She has graced the catwalks and worked with clients such as Christopher Kane, JJ Noki, Mulberry, New Look, Top Shop, Vivien Westwood, Jill Saunder, Jacob Kimmie, Harris Tweed, Henry Holland, Gok Wan, Myleen Klass, Erin O’conner and Gio Pomadoro. As if Eunice is not working hard enough, she has also started to get into acting with a featured role alongside Scotland’s very own Gary Lewis who has starred in ‘Gangs of New York’, ‘The Escapist’, ‘Shallow Grave’ and ‘Billy Elliot’. She is our very own Niomi Campbell!.. The upcoming nomination for The Scottish Fashion Awards 2011 has some of the most successful icons in the world in a variety of different categories who work in fashion, film and the creative industry including Christopher Kane, Jonathan Saunders, Gerard Butler, Tilda Swinton, Marc Psarlois, ROX, Daks and Iona Crawford. .
