Yes what will happen with Elite Europe will be interesting and it could really shake things up in NYC. Elite Europe and Elite NYC have not been on good terms for a long time now though it has gotten better the past two years. Still, Elite Europe has continued to place their top girls with agencies other than Elite NYC, mostly Ford and Marilyn.
If Louie goes to Elite, he will of course no longer have access to Women Europe's network so he will have to plumb another network in Europe. Will he make good with Elite Europe? If so, will that mean the pipeline to Ford and Marilyn dry up? If so, Marilyn has its Paris agency, which is very, very strong, one of the best boutique agencies in Paris, or elsewhere. Ford also has a relationship with Oui, but losing the Elite Europe connection would be bad for Ford. And it can't count on Ford Paris to provide it top talent from Europe since the two do not cooperate and Ford Paris is a relatively weak agency who has discovered no new girl of any significance for the longest time.
Women NYC also reportedly has a replacement for Louie lined up already and apparently he/she is a major player as well.
Whoever he/she is, it will be very, very interesting.
