Wear your stripeswith pride!Nautical is ALWAYS coming back in fashion so even the fashion blind can’t go too wrong with this trend.

Channel your inner Audrey Hepburn/Co Co Chanel with dark denim skinny jeans, neu-tral accessories and bal-let ats...or nd your own way of working your stripes, whiever way you choose make sure you wear them loud and proud!

Try a bright make up look such as a coral or red lip-stick to contrast with your simple out t or add a bright scarf, jacket or pair of heels so you don’t look too matchy-matchy. Remember also that horizontol stripes will make you look slimmer and taller than vertical stripes so think about what areas of your body you want to wear your stripes on to elongate or widen the right places.

Add hair acces-sories such as cute bows, clips or headbands to create inter-est or to add a pop of colour to your mono-chrome look.

A magpie’s dream...

Metallics were on all the catwalks this season and Enigma can see why. A scatter of the midas touch gives your outift a high luxe feel and with such a great choice of costume jewellery on the high-street you needn’t pay for the real thing.

There’s a tone of gold or silver to suit every-one from ice blue and copper tones to rust and yellow gold and just a tip- add a layer of clear nail varnish to the inside of any gold or silver costume rings to stop them from tarnishing and turning your ngers green!

MeetRebecca Furber as a teenager whilst working at Accessorize in Manchester and signing to into a whirl wind that shows no signs of slowing down. We love Rebecca Accessorize and is managing to combine modelling whilst also studying at stumbled into the brutal yet faaaabulous world of fashion.

Rebecca is half an hour early when we meet at her favourite cafe in her home town of Manchester straight from shooting the latest Topshop posters soon to be seen on a high-street near you! She’s wearing jeans, Ugg boots, a leather jacket and a scarf- typical off-duty model uni-form. After a quick introduction and a scan through the menu we get on down to it.

Where:The History CafeWhen: A sunny Spring SaturdayWhat: Rebecca had a blueberry muf- n and a strawberry milkshake.

Hi Rebecca! How did this all start?

I was spotted when I was seven-teen standing at the front of the shop where I worked when a model scout came in and asked if I’d come along to their studios to have some test photos taken because they were recruiting for new models. I went to the studios with my mum where there were a few other girls waiting nervously and we went in one by one to have test polaroids taken. Then I went home and waited for a call to see if the photos were good enough to come back and have more taken for a portfolio and they were, yey!

Had you always wanted to be a model?

No I had never thought about it be-fore this, although obvioulsy it was very attering to be asked! Enigma 9 Spring 2011

When I was younger I was an ab-solute tomboy but once I got to high school I started to have a really keen interest in the latest fashions and designers.

Where do you hope to be in the fu-ture?

Obviously doing a shoot with top-shop is huge but it may never come round again so in ve years I hope to still be modelling. It would be amaz-ing to be in magazines like Grazia, Elle and of course every model wants to be in Vogue.

What’s the best and worst thing about being a model?

The best part is getting to wear amazing clothes and having your hair and make up done in ways that you would never imagine to do yourself. The worst is probably the waiting around when different shots have to be set up, especially wen it’s winter and you’re wearing little dresses and you’re freezing! It’s not all as glam-orous as you’d think! Who has helped you along the way?

My family have been an amazing sup-port and encouraged me to pursue modelling as long as it was really what I wanted to do. Modelling has also made me realise who my true friends are, the ones who support and are happy for me are the my true friends and I love them for it.

Models: Claire Bowden, Kirsty Hagley, Katie Alexander Hair and Make up: Claire BowdenPhotographer: Victoria DavisAgency: Elite Models. Enigma 12 Spring 2011Enigma 12 Spring 2011

Katie’s look was achieved using clip in hair extensions which were back-combed with a ne tooth comb then teased into place with hairspray and gloss then a nishing touch of a hair ribbon (Accessorize £10) Her eyes were created using Max Factors liq-uid eyeliner in Kohl number 9 and Rim-mels smokey eye pallet in black, grey and silver. I added a hint of bronzer to the apples of her cheeks because of her naturally pale skin tone then ap-plied two coats of cherry red lipstick by Bourgeouis.

Kirsty’s cute prom girl look was given a toughening up with the help of a erce pair of black boots and plenty of eyeliner. I wanted to leave her skin as creamy as possible to give the look a girly touch so i used a moisturis-ing foundation to match her complex-ion followed by plenty of bronzer and a pale pink lipstick by Rimmel to highlight her tan and make her blue eyes pop! The overall look was completed by ll-ing in the eyebrows with a dark eyebrow pencil then combing them into place to give a polished nish. Super cute!

Claire’s mahogany coloured hair was offset with a bright pink lipstick that suited her tanned skin tone. To make the make up the main focus I piled her hair into two buns on top of her head but left them loose and messy for a more relaxed up to date look-nothing too perfect! I made Claire’s look the darkest and most dramatic because of her dark hair but this isn’t a look suited to pale skin tones or those with blonde or light brown hair as it will wash you out. i used plenty of liquid eyeliner to create thick wings at the corners of the eyes and added black and grey eyeshadow on top to give the overall effect a messy touch.
