Published on June 25, 2010 in Interviews and profiles. 2 Comments Tags: , , , .

Bra Selector caught up with the busy Laura Ann Smith, who won Star in a Bra 2010 last week for a wee chat. Curvy 28HH Laura stood pipped Kentish contestants Anna Broadley (2nd) and Lauren Sadler (3rd) to become the face and curves of big boob lingerie brand Curvy Kate.

After a head earned break our interviewee will take over from last year’s winner Lauren Colfer to represent real women, modelling for competition organisers Curvy Kate and Brastop.

Congratulations Laura Ann Smith! How does it feel to be Star in a Bra 2010?

It feels great thanks. I’m still pinching myself because I didn’t think I would win, but I’m really happy to have won and want to say thanks to everyone who voted for me.

This week Bra Selector caught up with the one and only Lauren Colfer, winner of the Brastop Star in a Bra 2009 competition to find out more about what it takes to be crowned the top curvy lingerie model and what it’s like getting involved.

Hi Lauren and welcome to Bra Selector. What made you want to enter?

I wanted to enter the previous year, but was discouraged by my dad. But when the second year came around, I knew I really wanted to give it a go. Luckily my dad was really cool with it all too!

Was modelling something you had previously considered?

There has always been a part of me that wanted to give modelling a go, but I never thought I could do it with my curves. I’ve never been camera shy and modelling always looked like a fun AND glamorous lifestyle, though I have found out that it is definitely hard work… but the most fun hard work!

Unique: “Peek a Boo”

Last week BraSelector caught up with Jenny Ambrose,
boss of Enamore, the fashion label leading “ethical trading” in the UK. So what’s it all about?

Enamore is a designer and manufacturer of fashionable and original ladies’ clothing, lingerie and accessories. There are and exclusive collections comprise natural and organic fibres, such as hemp, cotton, silk and wool, and recycled vintage materials.

Jenny has loved fashion and materials for many years and left fashion college to make her own designs and clothing using hemp and vintage fabrics in her works. After a great deal of hard graft and, at times, “quite miserable” living conditions Enamore was born and – we think you should all take a look.

Who said all the shops are the same these days? Enamore designs its own lingerie (amongst other clothing) and is more than just another “brand”. You can find its clothes in exclusive boutiques and online at www.enamore.co.uk. Now, time for some questions. Continue reading ‘Enamore ethical and enamore eccentric’
