On a beautiful day early in October, the women and a small team of experienced judges all descended on Pineapple Dance Studio in London.
Over 270 applications were received via the social media site Facebook when the casting was announced in June. 60 hopefuls were then considered and around 40 women came prepared with swimwear in hand to the audition.
At the model assessments the women cat-walked in front of; Celebrity Tan Artist and owner of Beau Bronz - Abi Oleck, Business Owner of Deluxe Lengths Naomi John and several others. The candidates then created their best poses in front of the camera with the casting photographer - Paul Carroll, all in the hope of winning; one of the swimwear modelling contracts, incredible goodies and all the benefits which go hand in hand with modelling for an internationally recognised swimwear company.
After completing the day and after much consideration, 4 models were chosen to represent the brand and be the face of the #SoSandstorm 2015 campaign.
They are:
Rikaya Tagoe
Hannah Murrell
Alex Reeve
Emma-Lea Thorpe.
However, there is a twist in this tail and the story does not end there!
Sandstorm Luxury offers swimwear and resort wear to women of all shapes, sizes and ages, and so another 16 models who auditioned on the day were also chosen to be take part in an empowering women campaign which will promote body confidence and will fly the flag for All British Bathing Beauties. Sandstorm feel it is important to show that all women are incredible human beings, each one is unique and everyone is as special as each other.
Included in the line-up are:
Model of Diversity - Gemma Flannagan
International Sports Woman and Weightlifter - Sarah Davies
Mrs Galaxy Europe - Kirsty Fletcher.
