A CHARITY is looking for fashion-conscious females to take part in a photoshoot for their latest campaign.

Cycle hire charity Darlovelo wants to hear from girls and women who would like the chance to show off their style by on their bikes getting in front of the camera and modelling their latest look.

The charity, which hires out fashionable Dutch-style bikes on long-term loans, will select the best images for use in a new publicity campaign and across their website.

Annie Ravazzolo, project manager for the charity, said: "Darlovelo wants to show that it is possible to look stylish and fashionable on a bike.

"Many iconic celebrity women - such as supermodels Agyness Deyn and Lily Cole - use cycling as their preferred method of getting around, and manage to look fantastic when riding.

"We thought it would be great to show real women looking great on their bikes for our new publicity campaign.

"We'd also like to hear from fashion-conscious women and girls who think they might like to give cycling a go."

The charity, which hopes to promote a relaxed culture of cycling in Darlington, was created following the award-winning film, Beauty and the Bike, which was shot in Darlington and Bremen, Germany.

The photoshoot is planned for Saturday, May 21, in Darlington. Darlovelo will be able to provide bikes.

Anyone who is interested in taking part, or would like more information on the project, should email Annie Ravazzolo at cool@darlovelo.org or call 07519-741734.
