Casting Directors : Who Are They? What Do They Do? Etc...

[Cute]

I believe Adam Hindle is casting Tisci's Burberry now!

You're right!

 

[guimon]

Is Ashley Brokaw now casting Stella McCartney? That would be intresting to see. She has the power to elevate eveything she touches. It would make the brand 10x more instresting and relevant.

does anyone know who used to do the styling for givenchy under riccardo tisci before katy england? was it riccardo/in-house or…?

I am so ready for PG/Samuel, Anita & to a lesser extent Ashley to be overhauled. Like, enough already!

Especially PG - gross/rude personality plus lazy and expected casting choices every season = bye gurl.

I'll never forgive PG for what he's done to Versace. In fact the entire profession of casting director needs to be done with. Bring it back in house!

what did he do?

what did he do?

I mean, he's pretty well known for being slimy. That added in with his boring (lazy) casting every season, I'm just over it girl.

anna sui: i think bill mullen does the styling, while thomas miller used to do the casting before he passed away

Did Samuel Ellis leave DMCasting?

Seems he set up his own shop, right?

Wonder how this will turn out, client wise...

Right? I noticed that agencies were just tagging him and not DM Casting for the MJ show.

I wonder if there's any juicy tea to be spilled lmao.

PGDM just casts so many of the shows that girls who he doesn’t like/aren’t on his radar don’t get a chance to shine

Is SES still with PG agency or left?

I'm trying to avoid posting on this topic because it's felt like some of the recent comments are starting to feel borderline vitriolic but just my 2 cents on the above...

It is wrong that models have to experience this bias, and even as one of the few who has enjoyed DM's casting (only really in recent years) I have to concede that their limited stable of main girls is quite lame.

However in Lineisy's case I'm not entirely surprised or even sympathetic as she's been working for nearly 10 years and got a big initial push from Ashley, who still is really the only one to break (interesting) new girls who often become the more important models longer term. She's had her Meisel moment and appeared in numerous editorials on top of her runway bookings. She's a gorgeous girl but she's never really stepped up to the plate and delivered anything beyond "I'm here and I'm pretty" and so I don't really see how she can be mad about not booking all the top tier shows all these years later. Even the more limited models who have had success longer term clearly offer something in terms of professionalism or likeability (Nobis) or have a distinct aura/coolness around them (Binx).

I'm just grateful that we're not living in the Russell Marsh era anymore. The whole racist and agist narrative that he pushed in the 2000s is part of the reason this industry was so wretched for so long; people were just willing to overlook it because the quality of fashion was superior to today.

However all in all I would like to see more variety in CDs. I suppose there will always be a top dog who takes the most or more important shows though .

 

[FashionPower]

Never liked Lineisy but she just got infinite aura points for raising her voice about the PGDM mafia and having the guts to go against the most powerful figure in fashion right now. So tired of his connections with nepo babies, so over his boring and predictable casting choices with the same girls splattered all over whether it's a sexy confident brand like Versace or intellectual radical chic. Adding one single supermodel from the 90's or 00's in a roster of other 50 random girls does not make the casting iconic.

Samuel is on his own now, doing YSL and Coperni only this season.
