Male and female models of all sizes, shapes and ages are being sought for the fashion shows by lifestyle choreographer Sharon Daniels from Rugby-based company Upstaged.
Sharon said she is particularly keen to audition more Asian models and dancers this year.
Sharon said: "I'm not looking for the typical stick-thin teenager you see on many of the world's catwalks, I'm looking for real people, who come in all shapes and sizes. I am also actively looking to recruit more Asian models and dancers.
"I judge people in auditions on their personality and the ability to display clothes well and walk in time with music.
"All my models are volunteers but find that modelling is a great way to meet new people, gain confidence, try on clothes they might never buy themselves and can sometimes lead to other opportunities."

Sharon is appealing to anyone interested in modelling aged between five and 70 with dress sizes ranging between eight and 24 to attend a free audition on Saturday, 1 March at the Central Hall off New Union Street in the city centre.
The audition times are split by age group:
10am-1pm - children aged five to 12
1-3pm - teenagers aged 13 to 17
3-6pm - adults
听Would-be models do not have to register in advance and can simply turn up at the appropriate time to audition.
The auditions involve a walking routine and a simple interview. Models will be told the results of the audition on the day.
So, have a go! Good luck!
