Exclusives

[Faith Akiyama]

There is a very practical reason for a brand to have an exclusive girl for the runway show, actually: She won't have to run to the 2930482304 other castings/fittings for other designers during the week and interrupt anything on said brand's own schedule. Prada, for one, is notorious for their long waits and tedious sessions for both castings and fittings, so claiming specific girls ahead of time saves any trouble in possible delays and other unforseen circumstances.

But I definitely agree that the branding potential for the label in terms of an exclusive girl is in murky waters in this era of the industry.

Regarding Dasha Sushko

Penetrating blue eyes and personality plus are just two of Dasha’s defining qualities. Another new girl with Next Milan who is on exclusive with a major designer, we expect this to just be the first big catwalk appearance of many – Dasha’s allure is impossible to resist!

Do you think/know if Kirsi Pyrhönen was Prada exclusive this season? She appeared at 4 shows in London, and she is almost as fresh as you get, still on the New faces board in her mother agency. So far she hasn`t done anything after Prada, so I´m counting on her to appear at Miu Miu...

really? do you remember which it was? For me exclusives are pure randomness unless it's done in a way as they did it with Ymre Stiekema for Prada.

 

[Simera]

Don't they have some exclusives who can't walk any shows before the show they are "exclusives" for, but can walk shows after that? Isn't that what a semi-exclusive is?

Mila Schön, you can find the showlist in the thread and pictures on style.it

and I agree with you regarding the importance of exclusives (unless they're truly major, I don't care)

add Yulia Dementyeva and Dafne Cejas

 

[cologne_rocks]

Yulia, how random can the choice for an exclusive opener be? Well, anyway, i don't wish her bad or so, she's just so not Givenchy.

 

[YAKUDZA]

Lia Serge for Givenchy!!!

Semi-exclusive means the model must walk on that show and can't walk for anything before. Then she can walk after the semi-exclusive show.

That's what I said
