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

[anlabe32]

Probably relaxing on an island with all those bribes he accepted.

^ LOL so true. Also just curious, since Russel Marsh still casts the Christopher Kane/Marni/Paul Smith shows, does that mean he also casts their campaigns? Or would that just be the designer's choice?

 

[lilgruner]

but when Russell was a casting director for the blue chip brands... he discover a lot of top models... and almost all the girls been on the top of HF for many seasons.

now, the casting directors discover girls for few season and then nobody know about them, maybe few of them still alive...

 

[saucer-like]

The industry is always changing and there are other circumstances to consider. We can't really compare how stars were created 10+ years ago to how things are today.

Who casts Tory Burch?

 

[anonid]

Why did Prada change from him to Brokaw?

 

[saucer-like]

Reportedly, he was accepting bribes from IMG and Women to book their models.

 

[tatouejeremie]

So Marsh is totally gone?

afaik he was losing jobs left and right in the past few seasons so he just decided to completely pull out this season.

 

[Riseup]

So Marsh is pretty much gone for good now, he lost Marni too, Michelle Lee is in.

When Marsh was the top CD, the runways were white. No diversity what so ever. Glad he is gone.

speaking of diversity, who casts david koma in london? not one black or asian girl. not one ethnic girl. David should be embarrassed and the stylist and casting director should be fires. that is shamefull.

 

[fer19dog]

Russell will not be missed.

 

[Marc10]

Adam Hindle took over Christopher Kane.

 

[givengod]

Anita + Katie Grand are doing Miu Miu this season - does it mean we should wait for second Marc Jacob show?

Rami is doing Acne

things are changing so fast...

 

[anlabe32]

^ WHAT? Noooooooo! Miu Miu is my favourite show and those two destroy everything

 

[Riseup]

wow, quite a surprise, Ashley was so perfect for the brand, im not sure bout the change, oh well, as long as they dont touch Prada

 

[saucer-like]

Truly the most horrifying news in fashion yet. And of all people as replacements...

 

[Erebos]

A nightmare .... Omg not miu miu :'(

 

[thatsfierce]

Oh noooooo, Katie Grand for Miu Miu please no!!!
I cannot see gigi, kendall or whoever nepotism girl doing Miu Miu

 

[Fiercification]

Didn't Katie Grand actually style Prada in the early 2000s? Then I heard/read she got chucked for pushing her styling POV so much to the fore? Which makes this news somewhat ironic and well, lame.

Tomas Maier still shills out good clothes at BV, but since Katie Grand joined the whole look of that house has become so wobbly and lacking in its sharpness. So quite frankly I'm not willing to see that same decline of quality occur at Miu Miu, but hey...
