Models Switching Agencies

[youarearockstar]

^And Elite was professional enough to poach Ana Beatriz Barros from Next in return.

I'll be interested to see if this holds up in court. Thanks for sharing it with us model_mom!

This happens all the time....but in karlie's case...Next has hit the jackpot and I don't blame Elite for thinking,"What the Hell just happened?"

I just noticed this little swap:

Elcee Orlova: IMG --> Elite NY

It seems Elise's stint at New Madison has not gone all that well after she left Viva.

 

[Trista]

Thank you Bianca for the news on Margaret! I was wondering where she'd gone off to...

It seems Elise's stint at New Madison has not gone all that well after she left Viva.

when did she leave Viva exactly?

 

[1FashionVictim]

Elite Paris seems to be stocking up on all the Top Models of yester-year!

Petra Kvapilova joined IMG NY.

why doesnt elise crombez return to viva , i mean she is still signed with DNA and doesnt that require to stay contracted with viva???

 

[1FashionVictim]

No. Just because a model is signed to a certain agency it doesn't mean they have to sign with another international agency that this certain agency has ties with; it's just normal for models to sign with agency's that have connection with eachover. Elise has signed with Elite Paris and I believe that's another agency that DNA places quite a few of their models with.

 

[Saracita]

Virtually all of them switch to Viva after signing with DNA, though. A few of their new faces are from Elite Europe affiliated mother agents, so they might prove less inclined to leave Elite Paris. But other than that, Anne Watanabe (Nathalie), Cameron (Ford), and Magdalena (Elite) are the only exceptions I can think of.

Anyway, regardless of what happened with Elise (she allegedly felt mistreated by some booker?), I'm sure she must've had a good reason to leave Viva like that, so I'd actually be more surprised if she went back. Just don't know what she was thinking in the first place... choosing New Madison

 

[1FashionVictim]

I never knew that she was signed to them. They must have been honoured.

 

[yourbestfriend]

when did she leave Viva exactly?

Not sure about exact dates.. I think a little over a year ago. Around the time she did the YSL show with the purple flowers?
