Witchery has just announced the introduction of the new Witchery Loyalty Program. The program allows members to receive benefits and rewards when they shop at Witchery.

Members will be the first to know about the latest news from Witchery, WitcheryMan and Witchery Accessories. They also will receive exclusive offers and rewards, invitations to preview sale events and a further 5% off sale items.

Customers can become a member of the Loyalty Program by collecting a Witchery Card from any Witchery store and activating it online at http://members.witchery.com.au. Alternatively, customers can purchase the April 2010 edition of Marie Claire or Men’s Health. Both magazines include a Witchery Card inside.

In conjunction with Marie Claire and Men’s Health for a limited time only, Witchery is giving all new members a $30 reward when they activate their card online. This reward can be redeemed in any Witchery store*.

Witchery CEO Iain Nairn said: “We recognise that Witchery has become one of Australia’s & New Zealand’s leading fashion brands and as we continue to expand our stores and product offering, we want to be able to give back to those loyal customers who have
supported us through this growth period and beyond.”

The growth period began over 3 years ago when Gresham Private Equity acquired Witchery. Since 2006, Witchery has introduced WitcheryMan in 33 stores nationally and is due to open its first stand alone Accessories store in Singapore in March 2010. With further growth plans for the second half of the year, the Witchery Loyalty Program will ensure that Witchery customers stay up to date with all the latest news whilst being rewarded for shopping along the way.

St Ives Village was proud to be a host for the 2009 Cosmopolitan Model Search in September last year. The competition was run by Cosmopolitan Model Agency in a search for five International models. Heats were held at shopping centres and nightclubs around Australia and finalists will gather in Melbourne at the Park Hyatt Hotel on February 17 for the Grand Final.

Up for grabs are five international modelling contracts, contracts with Cosmopolitan Models, a $1000 wardrobe from Man to Man and the chance to become the face of leading skincare brand QV Face made by Ego Pharmaceuticals. The winners will be decided by international judges from London, New York, Milan, Hong Kong and Paris.
The St Ives contestants battled it out on stage, modelling clothes from The Village in two heats. Heat winners then contested the final in the afternoon. The winners (pictured) were Yasmin Morris, Chelsea Trotter and Paige Thompson. Allira Jaques, Amy Heunis and Sarah Chambers were runners up.

Chelsea Trotter, 19 travelled from Newcastle to compete in the event at St Ives and placed in the top 3. "I would love a career in modelling," she enthused. "I have just started modelling this year, doing promotions for events and thought it would be fun and a great experience to compete in the Cosmopolitan Model Search at St Ives." Her place in the top 3 has earned her a free flight and accomodation in Melbourne where the grand final will be held and the chance to secure an International Modelling Contract.
Yasmin Morris, 17 is a student at Pittwater High School. Already interested in modelling she was surprised to be approached by a modelling talent scout in Chicago during an international school exchange program. When asked about the experience of competing on the catwalk Yasmin says, "I had never done anything like that before and it was a very positive and valuable experience." Her parents will accompany her to the finals in Melbourne where she also hopes to secure a future in modelling.

Paige Thompson, 15 attends Brigidine College and decided to compete in the competition after her grandmother told her about it. "I thought it would be a fun opportunity," Paige says. "I never thought I would win, it was quite a surprise." Of the competition she says, "It was very nerve wracking, but fun and nice to meet all the girls." After her win Paige is looking forward to a career in modelling, fashion or marketing.

We wish the girls all the best for the Finals and hope to one day see them on the International modelling stage!
