Catherine McNeil

[miss_pepa]

The spin city article is really interesting! It seems very exaggerated. She has definately not dropped off the radar! I cant really imagine her doing much more in the last few months!
Thanks for all the pics Min-SH.

what happened to her vogue uk cover? is that october?

I kinda don't agree with the article at all, I realise she was over-hyped due to the Testino contract etc, but come the shows in september I think we'll see she will be everywhere just like the Aut/winter shows.
Also all the current campaigns she has got will be running right up until then and beyond.

^Ditto.

Well, here's MDC's take on things....

Spring Ahead Catherine!

How enchanted is the life of Catherine McNeil right this second! After only her first season (which saw a 4 campaign windfall) this audacious Aussie has already started confirming her blue chip SS 08 campaign bookings. Add to that a couple of weekly six figure jobs here and there and our favorite motorcycle babe might very well be zooming up that Forbes top earning list for 2007. All that and she still hasn’t set foot on a NY catwalk yet. Enviable no?

motorcycle babe? she rides a bike... please tell me this is true

 

[Mr-Dale]

I don't care about the motorcycle part but...6 figures a week! SS 08 campaigns already! OMFG!

And that Spin City story is kinda weird? What radar are they using? Irina Kulikova hasn't been THAT succesful at all yet to have pushed aside McNeil. And her Testino contract has only JUST finished so noone can judge her for staying or fading yet. Or can we? MDC seems to have proof she'll stay. I'd like to cling to that.

well ...I remain skeptical about the SS08 campaigns..first see & then believe...somehow her fall campaigns have been rather disappointing to me

By all accounts, McNeil's future is resolved though once, not so long ago, she had her heart set on a career as a motorcycle mechanic.

So I suppose that's what the blurb is referring too.

^ oh okay thanks atelier!

ew i dont like the makeup at David Jones, enough with red lips already!

i thought NY Runways used to be the places to be..but now it seems like a lot of models skip NY after they make it..

6 figures a week! SS 08 campaigns already! OMFG!

She could retire soon if this pattern continues!

her showcard for s/s 08 runway season from NEXT:

Her show card is GREAT! thanks for posting!

 

[seanutbutter]

I wish NEXT would have used a clearer shot of her face, but I suppose that's not the most important element when considering show cards.

 

[kissablekae]

i dont like the second card, it makes her look old. i liked her old cards better because it shows her beautiful face more. but it doesnt matter because i can see her getting a lot of work in the future.
