Emily DiDonato

Givenchy exclusive.. great for Emily.. no matter if she doesn't do LV.. lets not get greedy

anyway it would explain her lack of bookings in Paris.. not like in New York

 

[whysper]

I guess it was best that she was a Givenchy exclusive especially as a "new face". I really do hope that she'll be at other shows but other than that, it's great to see Emily in Paris .

Wow....

Adriana had Maybelline, now Emily has it.
Adriana got Givenchy, and Emily got it.

Coincidence?

 

[SirSunday]

Emily turned 18 and got both in the same year. Adriana did not.

 

[whysper]

Okay it's natural to compare the two but there is a vast difference. Adriana's exclusive was a return to HF since she had a few fashion spreads. This is Emily's first season and to have a Givenchy exclusive is a huge for a newbie.

 

[hfhommes]

I just get the feeling that she's the new Adriana for the time being.

 

[Simera]

I wonder if she will get the Givenchy campaign? Just kidding! But I do see her as the new Adriana as well.

 

[lanvinray]

I'm so glad to see her at Givency!

 

[Party_Vixen]

Did not expect to see her at Givenchy; and not as an exclusive especially. But good for her! She killed it on the runway.

 

[WerbowyStegner]

I seriously doubt she was an exclusive. I'm not trying to be mean .. but she couldn't even walk the top shows in NYC why would you put her on an exclusive when shes not that wanted?

 

[mainstay]

^ She was exclusive.

I seriously doubt she was an exclusive. I'm not trying to be mean .. but she couldn't even walk the top shows in NYC why would you put her on an exclusive when shes not that wanted?

how can you say that?

Look at girls like Hilary Rhoda.. not wanted in NY (she only booked like 1-2 minor shows) and barely booked anything in Milan.. then guess who opened Valentino and did Balenciaga, Hermes.. and just about every top show in Paris that same season??

Just because a girl does bad in 1 city doesn't mean her career is over in the other 3 cities.

 

[WerbowyStegner]

yes okay then.. I guess everyone wanted her in Paris.. it was only my opinion.

 

[whysper]

Having a Givenchy exclusive was a big thing since not a lot of newbies get it. Not all models have to to be doing a huge number of shows to be an exclusive and numerous have stated that she was. Tisci probably liked her a lot.

 

[Faith Akiyama]

Also consider Ranya Mordanova's lackluster NY FW09 season (Hers wasn't nearly as good as Emily's) before she was a Givenchy exclusive herself...sometimes that's just how the business works - pleasant surprises abound

 

[Luxx]

Exactly Faith, sometimes it just takes one important person to see something great in a girl then everyone else spends time playing catchup. Different faces resonate in different markets - there are many instances where a girl who did not do well in New York or Milan can find success in Paris and vice versa. This is why we should never count anyone out! You never know when they'll book something major!

 

[Moofins]

Fantastic at Givenchy. I seriously think this girl will be big.

in addition to all of the usual comparisons for her... I think she looks like actress Jessica Pare too.

I have to agree with you. It's like "exclusive" ahoy! It seems everyone is overtly excited for exclusives. Sadly, not everything works out well. Look at Ymre. Look at Adriana -> an exclusive, and then a campaign, and then no one talks about her association ever again.
