Catherine McNeil

[yum_yum]

Is it true that Cat has cut her hair off and is now sporting a bob?

 

[L.A.Woman85]

really???
where did you hear that???

 

[Thanatos]

I hope she had a good reason to do it.

 

[rox_yr_sox]

^ To shake up her career and get her back in the game?

 

[yum_yum]

She definitely did! I haven't seen clear pics but judging by the recent 'A Fine Romance' ed I think it will look hot!

 

[Thanatos]

Great season she had ...

You just know that if Cat were on ANTM she'd be the girl who quits at the fourth judging because modeling 'isn't for her'
I'm now convinced that the whole reason she hardly works is purely because she doesn't want to. Though I don't really blame her, it's just frustrating when you want her to succeed.

^You know there must be a reason like that when Snejana works more than her.

hope thr hair cut is just a rumor

 

[Thanatos]

^thanks so much, I dont know how I missed that one, she looks freaking gorgeous, love the hair and makeup and all the pretty chic dresses

ha well I would be sure if I could decipher a word of Carta's illiterate ramblings - Cat either chopped it, or dyed it black (or both). Hopefully our friend Patty Huntington can shed some light cos Carta sure as hell cant!!


Anyway, the eternal optimist in me hopes for some new work some time soon[ish]

If her cut is anything like the 'Fine Romance' ed, it's going to look gorgeous. Cant wait for the first pics to surface!

 

[yum_yum]

I'm thinking it may be a little shorter than that ed as she had the back of her head shaved recently. It may be one of those cuts that needs to grow out a little first

Bob's your uncle: Catherine McNeil also gets the chop

Yes that’s a wig that Catherine McNeil is sporting in this Vogue Australia September 2010 editorial, above. But apparently the world #12 liked the look so much, she’s gone and had it replicated. Well, kind of. By all accounts, McNeil's new do is not a "long, choppy" Abbey Lee Kershaw bob, aka a "Kob", but a bob nonetheless and black to boot. There is as yet no hard photographic evidence beyond a bunch of Facebook photos and the shot, below, published on October 21st on the blog of McNeil’s model mate Stephanie Carta, together with the caption, “Yesterday kitty cut her locks off, Sorry, died them black! Meow”. Not even McNeil’s Sydney-based mother agency was up with her hair news when we enquired earlier this week. But after days of buzz on model forums, Stephen Lee at McNeil’s New York agency Next finally confirmed the earth-shattering news to frockwriter overnight: yes, McNeil has definitely cut her hair. Lee added that McNeil has been enjoying a month’s break of “total normality” from the modelling business.

"It's nice to be able to see how a short break from the business can rejuvenate and revitalize that spark that everyone, no matter what their business, needs" said Lee.

That’s a second break, presumably, after McNeil already took some time off from the world’s runways late last year and then began to make a return at New York Fashion Week in September, only to mysteriously disappear off the Spring/Summer 2011 circuit in London.

Perhaps McNeil was also inspired by the deluge of publicity that followed the recent decisions by compatriot and Chic/Next stablemate Kershaw to not only cut her hair, but later dye it platinum blond. In a business that's all about 'the look', a new haircut could be a great career move.

Thank you Patty, I knew she'd confirm it for us (and candle )

I can't wait to see a clear picture of her new do!

BLACK CAT
Yesterday frockwriter mentioned that Australian supermod Catherine McNeil had just undergone a rather dramatic change of hair and is now sporting a short black bob. Well here are the first images of said do, courtesy McNeil's New York agency Next Model Management. This is all Next would release, ditto the only other info: that it was cut/coloured by "a friend". Which may be code for McNeil's hair having been done on a recent job that has yet to be unveiled. Just as her fellow Aussie and Chic/Next stablemate Abbey Lee Kershaw recently had her hair cut by Chanel's beauty team during the shooting of the Fall/Winter 2010/2011 campaign. It's an interesting look for McNeil. Almost a little Beatle-esque.
