Exclusives

To give up on a big modelling job because you may miss school is a bad decision, an education is something that is always available but the oppurtunity to have a great modelling career is rare.
 
Well then good for her I guess, but if her family is unwilling to let her off a couple of days of school for one major show, then i don't see how she can really have much of a career until she turns 18.
It could be the actual school not allowing her as well, I guess.
 
Yeah you would think.

She said in a local interview she turned them down because she couldn't miss school. Wether or not it's true I don't know, but if school wasn't an issue then why else did she miss Milan and Paris - cities she actually had agencies with - and the chance to build on the momentum the CK exclusive gave her? Her father was also quoted as saying that basically school comes first.
I think she would've had to do castings, callbacks, fittings, fittings and fittings first. So I don't believe the jobs were already in the pocket if she never went to Milan. And what Charlotte said is very true I guess...
 
I know. She said offers, but that doesn't mean anything was confirmed. (The way I expressed it probably sounded that way though.)

She had already taken a week off for Calvin, so another week here or there would've definitely added up for just one month.

I thought she was flown in for Calvin like the day before? I remember a news article saying how she was worried she wouldn't make it in time for the show (or am I just imagining things), if she took a whole week off was she just sightseeing?

Well Heather Marks I remember was lucky because she was saying she attended a HS for world class athletes or something like that, and they were very flexible with students. I know in my high school people would take weeks off for vacation to fly to their home countries and what not, I think most likely its just Louise parents want to secure her future through school, which is smart I guess.. since if Louise is lucky she could probably be a top model for what? 2-3 years.. if she is lucky.

+ if she had Jil Sander and Gucci, the flight from Belgium to Milan is much more favorable :-b
 
I think she was in town for 4 or so days. (So a 'school' week)

“Last Friday we got the call, and she left on Monday. I had to negotiate a bit with the school, but from next Monday she’ll be back in the classroom. This is an enormous chance. It could be her big break, but it could also cause problems.”
Friday would've been the 13th, Monday the 16th, CK show on the 19th, home by the 23rd.

Was Stam an exclusive for Fendi or just happened that way?
 
Ksenia also walked for Dolce & Gabbana so she's definitely not an exclusive
 
To give up on a big modelling job because you may miss school is a bad decision, an education is something that is always available but the oppurtunity to have a great modelling career is rare.

Not everyone's priorities rest in this industry...you can also turn it around and say that with an education, other career opportunities are more readily available in the future, but a modeling career might not go anywhere within a few seasons (Or even just one...even with Calvin Klein exclusivity you could either be a Lyndsey Scott or a Bojana Reljic come sophomore season) and would just delay everything else. It's not fair to say that anything is a "bad decision" if the proper long-run perspectives are in order for the girl in question.

^ didn't Ksenia have a semi-exclusive, through?

I know some of us saw in her thread that she supposedly had an exclusive, and then she showed up at Dolce & Gabbana so it wasn't anything more than a semi-exclusive...but Pucci doing something of this nature? Not sure when that started or why it is even necessary :unsure: I guess we will perhaps await agency confirmation.
 
^ I have a guess that Ksenia was shooting something for Pucci, coz we have seen her on some BS pictures in different outfits that were worn by different models on the catwalk (for example, Maryna's dress + a blue swimsuit, etc). Just a guess.
Plus Ksenia's friend told us abour exclusive for Pucci, so I guess we can believe in that.
 
^Not that I don't trust her friend, of course, but it sounds like maybe she was shooting a lookbook/advertorial for the brand and thus being unable to do castings/shows beforehand...but I guess the definition of "exclusive" is becoming kind of muddled overall these days :lol: The important thing is that she is evidently considered a muse for the designer, and doing jobs consistently for Pucci in the present/future would definitely be more worthwhile than just being dubbed "exclusive" for one time.

MCB may have been semi? (can anyone confirm?) But I think that's about it.
