Over the last few weeks, fashion retailer Next has been searching for two new, unsigned models to feature in a forthcoming Next Directory. The shopping pages goes out to over 2.2.million people in the UK and with entries surpassing 3,000, the competition is creating quite a buzz.

The top 50 entrants have recently been announced and details are available via the nextonline facebook page. I've checked out entrants myself and there are some very strong contenders. I'm loving the look of Dan Clarke, Muna, Natasha Musson and Fabio (all pictured above). I think they could go far.

The final round is on the 31st July, where the hopefuls will be narrowed down to just 10. Hosted by Alesha Dixon and Paul Sculfor , the finalists will battling it out to wow the judges and Next will be officially revealing their A/W collection on the night.
