SCOTLAND'S NEW FACE

We are delighted to welcome successful model and jewellery designer Lisa Butcher to the 2009 judging panel. Lisa has presented the BBC1 show ‘What Not to Wear’ for two series, alongside her good friend Mica Paris. Together they have educated the nation on how to dress to get the most out of ones figure and appearance, with the aim of building confidence. She first appeared on our television screens in 2006 presenting “ Britain ’s Next Top Model” for Living TV where she put her expertise and knowledge of the fashion industry to good use. At the age of 15, Lisa was named as the “Face of the Nineties”, by the late Norman Parkinson, and became a main stay on the London fashion stage; featuring in campaigns from YSL to Ralph Lauren and appearing in endless editorials for Tatler, Harper’s and Elle. We are honoured that she has joined this exciting event as a judge. Lisa will sit alongside other 2009 judges including founder of the event and top fashion publicist Tessa Hartmann, Marketing and PR Director for Warehouse Lorraine Pringle, The Daily Record’s own fashion stylist Julie Hannah and top international hair stylist Austin Shirley from Toni & Guy. Austin a regular at London Fashion Week is a former ‘Scottish Hairdresser of the Year’ nominee and invaluable member of the Toni & Guy creative team.
