Award Winning Best Model Salisu Speaks To Fashion Police

Top Male Model Salisu Abdulai

1) Please tell us who you are and what you do for those not familiar with you?

    My name is Salisu Abdulai popularly known as Sal and I’m a London Fashion Model.

2)What words best describe you as a person?

    I’m a very simple and down to earth person.

3)Describe your fashion sense?

    I’m not really the flamboyant type, but when I want to dress up I like to keep it very formal and   

    classy. I love blazers, bow ties and great smart shoes. Think Zara.

4)Do you think your a true representation of a today's man if yes/no why?

    Yes, I think I’m a true representation of a today’s man, because I’m very current, I’m

    confident, I’m educated and I respect women.

5)Tell us about your awards you may have received?

    A couple of months ago I was fortunate to win the BEFFTA Award 2012 for ‘Best Male Model’

   and shortly after that I also won the Fashions Finest Award for ‘Male Model of the Year’. They

   are really humbling I must say.

6)There are so many male models out there like yourself what makes you different from all the rest?

    I think my personality makes me different from every other male model out there, because

    most times you hear professionals in the game tell you, you have the same look as some

    other male model, but our personalities at he end of the day makes us different from one

    another irrespective.

7)What makes a good model?

    I don’t really think I’m in the best position to answer this question, but I would say great looks

    combined with passion and hard work makes a good model, because it’s one thing for you to

    be good looking and it’s another thing for you to have passion for what you do so you can

    give it your all at all times.

8)Which other 3 UK male models do you look up to and why?

   The 3 UK male models I look up to are definitely O’shea Robertson, Jeremy Boateng and

   Guetan Elito. Firstly, the  guys I named are black and no, I’m not being racist. Looolz.

   The truth is we all know how difficult it is for black models in this industry here in London, but

   these three lads as well as some others have worked really hard and managed to break into

   mainstream and that is very commendable. They have done the undoable and I have great

   respect for each of them.

9)If you had the chance to do a shoot with 1 model of your choice who would it be and why?

   Hmmm, that would have to be Kate Menson, she was one time winner of Face of Africa and

   she’s a stunning model. I met her once in the tube in London en route casting.

10)Who are your 4 best friends you would ride and die for?

     I don’t have best friends; the only people I would ride and die for are my brother and my

     sister. They are all I have got left in this world and can trust with all my heart.

11)If you was to walk the red carpet which designer would you wear and why?

     I would love to walk the red carpet wearing Zara or Ozwald Boateng, because their styles

     truly represent the kind of person I am and want to be. I love both designers.

12)If you was given 2 tickets to fly to anywhere in the world where would you go and why?

      I think Dubai, because I want to stay in that 7 star hotel. Hahahaa

13)What are a few things people may say about you that is not true that you would love to address here?

     I really do not know the kind of things people say behind me and it does not really bother me,

     because no matter how good you try to live your life people will definitely say things about

     you that are not true. It’s part of life and I’m fine with that.

14)What do you think of the Fashion Police News Blog?

     I think the Blog is definitely one to watch and I love the exposure it gives to people in the

     fashion industry. That’s very great.

15)What do you think of men who teaches women to walk?

     I don’t think anything bad of that, as long as the men are teaching them the right stuff.

16)If the Fashion Police was to be a fly on your bedroom wall what would they be shocked to see?

     Hahahahahaa. They would be shocked to see how neat and tidy my bedroom is. Looolz

17)Are you single/married/divorce/seeing someone?

     I am single at the moment.

19)What would you say is your best assets?

     I would say my personality is my best asset.

20)If you had the power to change the fashion world what would you change and why?

     The first thing I would do is pass a law prohibiting the hiring of models for pro bono services,

     because people should understand that modeling is a work, that is, the provision of services

     just like every other job that needs a reward at the end by means of payment of money. 

     I just really find it very annoying and selfish when people just want to use you for free.

     Time is money as they say.

21)What's your views on models of colour on the runways?

     I’m also a model of colour and I definitely would love to see more models of colour in big

     campaigns and fashion weeks here in London and other major fashion cities like Milan and

     Paris. Blacks sell very well and there are so many coloured models that are so passionate

     and hardworking as well. Do not ignore them just because of their skin colour. At this point I

     would love to commend Models of Diversity on their Campaign so far. They are really doing

     a great job.

22)If the fashion police was to have dinner at your home what would you cook them?

     I would cook the fashion police jollof rice, my Nigerian delicacy. Loolz

23)What advice do you have for aspiring models?

     Every aspiring model out there should be very confident, hardworking, look good and set

     high standards for themselves. Be ready for the ‘NOs’, but don’t let them bring you down

     because the ‘YESes’ shall come as well.

24)Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

     In 5 years I see myself managing my own business and more in the corporate world, but still

     attending Fashion weeks and supporting great causes God willing.

25)Are you with an agency if so which one?

     Yes, im with Vibe International Models.

26)What music would have you running to the dance floor to shake that booty?

     I actually love music a lot so there are a lot, but ‘Titanium’ by David Guetta would do the deal

     any day anytime. Lol

27)Any last words for our many blog readers worldwide?

     I would like to say thanks to Fashion police for stopping by to speak with me. To all the blog

     readers, keep doing what you know how to do best. Work hard, pray and you will definitely

     live your dreams.

Ms Jamaica UK 2012 Gemmy Feare Speaks To The Fashion Police

1) Please tell us who you are for those not familiar with you?

My name is Ms Gemma Feare and i am the newly crowned Ms Jamaica UK 2012

2) What 3 words best describe you as a person?

Loyal, caring and honest.

3) Do you think you’re a true representation of a today's woman, if yes/no why?

Yes I do, because most females today are ambitious and are a lot more independent.

4) Describe your fashion sense?

Very sophisticated.

5) Why did you decide to enter Miss Jamaica UK 2012?

I saw it as a great opportunity to represent the country that both my parents are from and I felt as though I would be a great ambassador for Jamaica. Moreover, I simply love being glammed up!

6) Did you know that you were going to win after seeing and meeting the rest of the ladies for the very first time?

To be honest, I didn't meet all the girls initially but no, I didn't know that I was going to win. All I know is that I'm confident in myself and with that confidence I thought I stood a good chance of winning the title.

7) What are your 4 tips that you think helped you to win the title?

Be yourself, stand out from the crowd, discover your own killer catwalk and always wear a smile!

8) If you were to walk the red carpet which designer would you wear and why?

I'm not heavily into designer labels and have previously worn everything from H&M to Jovani to Christopher Kane, with my favourite up-and-coming young female designer being Chrissie Fizz. If I were to hit the red carpet, I would absolutely love to wear Stéphane Rolland because his pieces are couture, elegant and beautifully made. 

9) What are 4 things that some women do that make you mad?

I dislike people who always stir water to catch fish so don’t appreciate those traits in women. I also don’t like females that are deceiving, conceited or those who lie.

10) If the Fashion Police were to have dinner at your home, what would you prepare them?

I would fry or steam some seasoned fish, most probably red snapper and serve it with okra and boiled rice.

11) Tell us a little about Jamaica?

Jamaica is a beautiful island with incredible natural resources, strong and talented people, where the sun always shines.

12) What do you think of the Fashion Police News Blog?

I think it’s current, informative and fresh.

13) What do you think of men who teach women to walk?

I have no problem with this on the catwalk, just as long as off the catwalk I have the freedom to do what I want!

14) If you were given 2 tickets to fly anywhere in the world, where would you go and why?

Jamaica without a doubt.

15) Who is your role model and why?

Oprah is certainly one, as a powerful and influential black female. Another positive figure is Her Excellency Aloun Ndombet-Assamba, who has accomplished highly and is well respected in Jamaica as a our high commissioner, a lawyer and a politician. 

16) Where do you see yourself in 10 years time?

Following the footsteps of my role models towards becoming a well established and well known inspiring black female.

17) Tell us all about your preparations towards the big night?

There were a number of rehearsals to attend where we focused on either the questions to be asked on the night or on our walks themselves. I was also required to find a beautiful evening gown which was a lot of fun as I enjoy shopping!

18) What is next for you now that you’re Miss Jamaica UK 2012/2013?

This is really just the beginning, so I plan to enjoy the ride and I'm loving every minute of it so far. Ultimately, I aspire to contribute towards changing the negative perceptions surrounding those of Jamaican heritage in the UK and strengthening links between the two countries.

19) If the Fashion Police were a fly on your house wall, what would they be shock to see?

I don't like wearing clothes around my house.

20) Who are your 3 best friends that you would ride and die for?

My mum primarily, she is my backbone and I would do anything for her. My homegirl, Kathryn in Jamaica who I have grown with, as we inspire each other’s progress and finally, Gracie my bestie from the midlands because she just “gets” me and is a kind and loyal.

21) What would you say are your best assets and if you could change one thing about yourself what would it be?

Everybody talks about their physical appearance but my mind is what has got me to where I am today, so I value that as my best asset. If I could change one thing, I would like to be more patient as I sometimes get anxious when working towards large-scale projects.

22) What music would have you running to the dance floor to shake that booty?

Rather than head to the dance floor for some booty-shaking, I would prefer to be in a more relaxing environment where I am enjoying some roots and revival music.

23) What do you love doing in your spare time?

Working out and being spontaneous.

24) What advice do you have for other young women who would also like to enter pageants?

Be confident in your ability, bubbly and allow God to shine through you! Just go for it!

25) Do you think winning Miss Jamaica UK will open more doors for you?

Yes, yes, yes! I would love to win it every year as there are so many opportunities available
