Cassi Van Den Dungen

[AustralianaBoy]

She is an idiot. End of discussion.

Beauty wasted.

I doubt her fb outburst had anything to do with not scoring the exclusive (balenciaga? miu miu? givenchy? ).

A Paris exclusive would've done wonders for next season buzz... but IMG obviously know what they're doing, and it's probably better to pull her out now so she can start fresh next season - maybe even try for an exclusive again - then have her book a couple of minor shows? I dunno. So many girls get their exclusive options cancelled only to launch the following season... but whether she still wants it or not, who knows.

She is a stupid dumb girl. Can't believe she blew it. I honestly don't think IMG will want anything to do with her after this

 

[Yendor]

I think maybe they just gave the exclusive to some hotter girl and not because of Cassi's bad attitude. IMO Cassi isnt anything new or particularly special anyway

 

[Linnéaa]

Or maybe because her walk hasn't improved.

 

[mrsjamesdean]

I was starting to like her after the show ended(maybe it was because I didn't have to watch her anymore) and gave her the benefit of the doubt. What a shame.

 

[carmen_kass]

I feel dizzy after reading all of that. My secret wish was for her to somehow turn up at Chanel. She would fit right in with the young girls Karl casts for his shows, Jac, Frida, Imogen and friends .

I don't think the Prada/Miu Miu team would have given her the time of day, my guess is the exculsive was like Balenciaga or Givenchy as Bianca said.

so definitely no Cassi in Paris?? Because otherwise I would think this blind item from Theimagist fits her like a glove..

The Hiss Squad assures that a scandal generating new girl (as yet unseen on any runway,) is set to stomp for her worldwide exclusive this weekend even as her her first blue chip editorial tear is set to drop next month...TI-heads are very fast so we know they'll have that one sorted out in record time, Model watchers should also brace themselves for an extra-twisted parade courtesy of a certain closely watched directional force. Let's just say you won't be able to guess who or what (whether he or she) will come wheeling out as the next exit for that show. New decade...new template...for real...And since this is quite timely...which super-photographer is threatening not to renew his contract with that blue chip mag should he ever gain be saddled with a certain temperamental super-stylist. He is simply not used to be being spoken to that way. Talent is sensitive kids!

this is worst than a soap opera ...

 

[carmen_kass]

If she shows up then this whole thing was orchestrated...frockwriter saying she's back in Aus while her agent says she's in Paris practising in high heels, all her inane facebook messages, all the talk of missed exclusives. This is so frustrating.
Has Cassie been making new facebook posts? We should figure out whether she's in Paris or Aus by looking at the times she posts. Unless she's flying back in time for the show!

 

[retailqueen]

It would be really funny if this whole thing was a set up, but I don't want to believe the agency would sink that low just to get some buzz......

 

[carmen_kass]

Knowing Cassie there's still MORE than enough oportunities for her to eff this up. The only thing missing from her rolling train wreck of a career is a pregnancy, I'd LOL so hard if she turns up knocked up at Givenchy.

According this article posted this morning she is back in Australia after failing to gain work.

CONTROVERSIAL Sunbury model Cassi Van Den Dungen has called the French "frog eaters" and "snail slurpes" after a trip to Paris turned sour.

The 17-year-old resorted to Facebook during the week to slam French people and prestigious model agency IMG, which was working on getting her an exclusive deal during Paris fashion week.

"I'm coming home tomorrow, all these people are f----- in the head, the agency is trying to run me, not the other way round," Van Den Dungen wrote.

She and boyfriend Brad Saul returned home this week, after gaining no modelling work.

The couple also attacked French Asians on the social networking site.

"Ohhhh and the Frasians (French Asians) are idiots," Van Den Dungen wrote.

Saul replied: "And they can't drive."

Van Den Dungen yesterday admitted she had made a mistake and apologised.

"I was having a really bad day and I shouldn't have taken that out on Facebook, I regret that," she told the Sunday Herald Sun.

"Before I left I thanked IMG for everything they did and I really appreciated everything they did.

"I really shouldn't have said what I said."

The model, who was the most outspoken model on Australia's Next Top Model last year, said she struggled to cope in Paris. "It was really tough," she said.

Too late for apologies...CVDD just blew her big shot. Shame.

 

[Yendor]

LOL. I cant wait to see what she does next TBH.

 

[Simera]

But even if she is in Australia now she can always get back to Paris. And the "extra-twisted parade courtesy of a certain closely watched directional force." doesn't that sound like negative media attention, just said in different words? It would be cool if she did end up being at a show, though of course I highly doubt it, but it does sound like her.

 

[CharlottefromCA]

Nopes.. she was just a Red Herring for the blind item. would be interesting if it were her though haha

 

[retailqueen]

what a drama queen...

 

[mariemaud]

I don't think theimagist is refering to her....

First, as far as I know, she's been sent home
Also, I've immediately thought about another girl when I've read TI blind item

 

[carmen_kass]

i feel SO bad for her. She should right up there with Jac and Sigrid
