Ann Ward

[WilhelmF]

Aww, I don't think her walk is that bad. Yes, it's not a MCB or Poly walk, but I think she's vastly improving. And there are more models with horrible walks, even more horrible than Ann's. Suvi Koponen at Fendi F/W 08 anyone? Now that's what I call bad.

This!

I don't consider her walk that bad either and I actually like her walk not being so "strong" à la MCB, Poly. It has that quirky character that would fade away if she had a "fierce" walk. But again, who said that having a good walk is a strong requirement these days?

The thing is, as abul said, Ann seems determined to improve. How many models you see nowadays ending up as a one trick pony or as a lifeless runway filler? There goes another reason to love this girl. Now is up to her management how far they'll take her... because she definitely has the potential.

Btw, loving her glasses

she needs to hold her effing shoulders still. goddamit.

yeah that really annoys me in the video. it's like a jelly fish. the bottom half of her body is doing the right thing, it's the top portion that needs to hold still.

 

[Zann]

...what has she been thru? Been made fun of for being so tall? Everyone gets made fun of for something lol

true but each person takes it differently.

i kind of like her shoulders during her walk. maybe if they were more subtle it would look better overall.

when do we usually see images of the new VI issues? a month before?

 

[JesseDillon]

VI normally doesnt have many early previews of anything.

 

[Allthathesaid]

Its a franchise. Under NTM.

OK! you win! I'm not a fan of Ksenia anyways, if you want you can even say that she is better than Patricia van der Vliet! who DID come out from a "top model"

enough of them! this is about Ann!

 

[peter1980]

Please go back on topic, if you want to talk about NTM things there are other threads for that, this thread is special for Ann Ward.

yeah...

maybe she can train with those spotlights-on-rail-on-shoulder thingies Viktor & Rolf used a few years back

 

[EnVogueLove]

Maybe she is practing her walk cause she will go on castings soon ...like for hc. Or maybe she already is casted for something

 

[Carmilla]

I am so happy she won! I rooted for her since casting pictures came out. I really hope she will have a successful career and she will reach Alice status **

Yes everyone does, but she's been through a lot of bullying, even from adults and strangers, and not many people go through that and they don't deserve it. It's one thing being bullied by kids but by adults as well is something else. It's not like she chose her height and she can't control it and an adult should know better. She really had her confidence and self esteem knocked out of her.

 

[Deleted member 1957]

this is quite possibly the fastest rising ANTM contestant thread many dont even make it to 9 pages

 

[Andyman3k]

She's gonna go far i just know it! I hope she scores some major editorials & stuff

 

[peter1980]

^why do you think so ?? im not that sure, becuase she is still quite long, and that is a problem. DOnt get me wrong because i think she is a great model, but the height of a model is so inportant Look at Valentijn de hingh, she has the same problem (

 

[Psylocke]

I agree, her height could definitely be a problem. Just look at Kirsi who can't do all the shows because her feet are too big and don't fit the sample sizes. Having legs and arms that are too long can be a problem also.
I still hope we'll get to see a lot of Ann, though.

 

[Nils]

Legs that are too long? Talk about a luxury problem, lol.

In regard to Valentijn, she was 6'3" when she was dropped, and she still was growing. But she's coming back, and apparently has some good stuff coming out as well, so I won't be too worried about Ann. If she really wants this and works very hard I think she can make it.

 

[Psylocke]

Legs that are too long? Talk about a luxury problem, lol.

Totally But pants just don't look good when they're too short on a model. Notice how Kirsi for example is always wearing long skirts on the runway. And she's sometimes even barefoot or wearing weird sandals instead of wearing the same shoes as the other models.
I hadn't heard about Valentijn de Hingh before. I'm obsessed with super-tall models

 

[kwonsm]

Look at this. Amazing polaroid pic.
