Lisa Carter

Lisa Carter was a model for the Elizabeth Pack fashion shows. At around 17-years-old, she reached out to Mrs Barrow, expressing her desire to model. The store’s owner supported her participating in the fashion shows, where Lisa quickly learned the ropes alongside professional models. Her involvement was a stepping stone, leading to further modelling work on the Mainland.

Lisa recalls the experience as highly professional and fast-paced. She fondly remembers the excitement of the shows, the atmosphere of the store, and the strict yet supportive environment fostered by Elizabeth Pack. Through these experiences, Lisa gained confidence, leading her to more opportunities in modelling and later contributing to her professional growth.

Additionally, Lisa discussed how this experience helped shape her future path, including her work in the fashion industry and acting aspirations. Although she moved on from modelling, the lessons from her time at Elizabeth Pack had a lasting impact on her.
