New 'Behind-the-Scenes' Fashion Experience at Madame Tussauds London

Madame Tussauds London

Tuesday January 19, 2016. Madame Tussauds London has created an immersive 'behind-the-scenes' fashion experience opening on Monday February 8, in the run up to London Fashion Week Autumn/Winter 2016.

Central to the immersive attraction will be new wax figures of the inimitable fun-loving model and actress, Cara Delevingne, with her trademark bushy eyebrows, and catwalk sensation and star of Keeping up with the Kardashians, Kendall Jenner – together known to their millions of fans as BFFs 'CaKe'. Both stars have worked closely with Madame Tussauds, giving sittings to sculptors to ensure the creation of stunningly accurate likenesses.

Visitors to this completely new experience will get a peek 'behind-the-scenes' into the world of an international fashion event, brought to life through a multisensory set with products from official London Fashion Week partners, Maybelline New York, TONI&GUY and Lavazza, plus interactive surprises. AND for one week only, from Saturday February 13 to Sunday February 21, guests will have the chance to go home with a range of fashion goodies if they spot a special golden clothes tag. Up for grabs will be a variety of Maybelline New York, TONI&GUY and Lavazza products.

There will be multiple selfie opportunities with Cara, whose figure will be posing on the catwalk dressed in an Yves Saint Laurent dress, and Kendall as she readies herself backstage. Guests will also be able to 'strut their stuff' on the catwalk, watched by none other than Anna Wintour – Editor-in-Chief of American Vogue, famous for her pageboy haircut and large sunglasses.

Opening on Monday February 8 in the run up to February half term – tickets to Madame Tussauds London start from £23.80 when you pre-book at www.madametussauds.com/london
