THESE lingerie models braved freezing temperatures after they were left in the lurch by their transport home.
But help was at hand for the 30 beauties, who stood stranded on the pavement, when hero bus driver Colin Trevis came to their rescue.
The girls, from lingerie company Tallulah Love, needed to get from their Gateshead office to the Baltic in time for the celebration of the Turner Prize.
And the bus was quickly dispatched from the depot and the girls made it to the venue in time.
Passers-by scratched their heads as they got a glimpse of the 30 lingerie models on board on the double-decker bus. Bus driver Colin said: “In the 20 years driving I have never had to carry a group of passengers dressed like this before.”
Stephanie Cash, one of the models from Tallulah Love thanked Go North East for their help after Colin got them to the event in time.
She said: “As a small business looking to grow it’s important we attend launches and get our brand out there so this event was essential for us.”
Martin Harris, Commercial Director for Go North East, said: “This wasn’t one of our normal bus services that’s for sure but it was fantastic to help and great that they thought of us instantly so we could offer a service to get them there. We wish Tallulah Love all the success in the world going forward.”
Designer Michelle Taylor set up the lingerie company in 2009.
Her sales team has taken thousands of pounds worth of orders from exclusive boutiques and department stores in the UK, Dubai, Holland, Spain and France, and is in negotiations with retailers in Russia and the United States.
Her collection sold well in Fenwick of Newcastle and has outsold global brand Elle Macpherson in one store, and she hopes it will soon be on sale in Harvey Nichols, Liberty of London and Selfridges.
