London, 25 February 2015 – A fleet of Hyundais strutted their stuff on the streets of London this week as they helped Storm Model Management’s catwalk models, fashion influencers and media to get around London Fashion Week 2015.
The All-New Hyundai Genesis and Hyundai Santa Fe ensured that models were able to travel in high-end comfort and style – as well as giving them the welcome opportunity to rest their feet between a busy schedule of castings, shows and events.
Simon Chambers, Managing Director at Storm Models, said: “The Hyundai vehicles are very stylish and have certainly been turning some heads during this year’s London Fashion Week. I especially like the Genesis which is spacious and luxurious - making it the ideal transport for whisking our girls to all of the shows and events.”
For the third time running, Hyundai Motor UK partnered up with ‘The Apartment’ and provided Santa Fes to chauffer its guest list of top bloggers around London. The Apartment, which was this year based in Covent Garden, is the ultimate hub for the latest fashion, lifestyle and beauty bloggers from around the globe.
Abisola Omole, CEO at The Apartment, said: “It’s really important for the social influencers, who we invite and represent at The Apartment, to arrive in style during London Fashion Week. The Hyundai Santa Fes ensure that this happens and guarantees a comfortable ride.”
Hyundai Motor UK also provided top fashion influencer, Shini Park, with her own Santa Fe to take her to all of the shows. Shini, who was born in Seoul and now London-based, is founder of Cube Collective and the writer behind lifestyle blog, ‘Park & Cube’.
Tony Whitehorn, President and CEO at Hyundai Motor UK, commented: “The style and design of Hyundai vehicles has become a key focus for the brand. London Fashion Week, one the world’s ‘big four’ major shows, is the perfect environment for us to showcase our newest line-up of cars, while helping influential models and media fulfil their busy schedules.
