Meet the Models: Part 1
Jennifer Pinches |
You know their faces: now get to know them!
Ahead of every new catalogue, there’s a photo-shoot. It’s an exciting time when The Zone’s models are invited out of the gym and into the studio to exhibit the latest designs for the world to see. Having modelled for The Zone myself, I know how fun it is to get to try everything on and pose for the camera, like a celebrity on the red carpet. But The Zone’s models are not just pretty faces! Just like the actors on a red carpet, these gymnasts work hard every week towards their goals.
Let’s find out more about some of our rising stars...
