A FOREST teenager is making a name for herself in the world of modelling.

Jemimah-Nicolle Fowler of Mitcheldean won a crown at a major event in Birmingham and will be taking part in an event for Midlands Fashion Week.

The 16-year-old took part in the Scandanavian Bliss fashion show, a major event organised by her agency Dream Street Models, and won the Miss Scandanavian Inspirational crown in the pageant section.

She said: “I usually do photoshoots but this was my first pageant and I was really pleased to win Miss Scandanavian Inspirational.”

Jemimah-Nicolle got into modelling because of an interest she developed in make-up as she recovered from a serious road accident in 2015.

She said: “I was going along to photoshoots with photographers in the Forest because I was interested in make-up.

“Then the photographers started asking to take my picture and it developed from there and I signed up with Dream Street Models in Birmingham.”

As well as work in the UK, Jemimah-Nicolle has also been published in three magazines in Los Angeles.

She is currently studying English and media make-up at college in Swindon and hopes to become a professional make-up artist and continue her modelling career.
