Exclusives

[Ed..]

I guess being "exclusive" isn't that exclusive anymore

Even Toma Barkova who's also semi-exclusive for Jil Sander, walked for a show before Jil in Milan. Lyndsey Scott also remained "exclusive" for Calvin Klein although she walked 2 shows before Calvin in NY.

Yeah but Toma and Lyndsey's bookings that were going to be after the 'exclusive' show were all cancelled - basically making it a reverse-semi (or 'mid-week' as we've been calling it) - so they were still somewhat, in some way, 'exclusive'/had a deal with the designer. And the one or two shows they did prior to their big show were very small ones.

Having done big-name shows before and after, nothing at all ties Lovanni to Jil.

I just new that was going to happen. Rad Hourani exclusives seem so pointless because they don't really lead to anything, you may aswell have an exclusive with Roccobarroco.

I totally agree

Janete Friedrich was also at the show! Is it her 2nd exclusive for Rad?

 

[mainstay]

A Rad Hourani exclusive is just a way to justify not booking anything else..

totally agree about rad.... Exclusives should only be with the calvins, proenzas, marc Jacobs of the world

According to The Imagist & Major, Kristy Kaurova was a Calvin exclusive as well. Looking through her thread/showlists she walked Rachel Comey, Wayne, Farah Angsana, Venexiana and Chado Ralph Rucci - the latter I think being the last show she walked (Sat 12th). So somewhat similar to Lindsey Scott's case I guess.

Those are always strange, but great for Kristy anyway, she is a beauty and deserves the attention!

What happened with Hannah Holman though? Marc Jacobs, then Marc by Marc Jacobs. I would have said exclusive, but she walked then for Philosophy (casted by Marsh).

 

[mainstay]

^ She isn't exactly fit for runway when you compare her to other girls.

 

[nijuyanah]

Tbh, none of the exclusives this season are particularly striking to me Especially at Calvin! I'm happy for Gloria though. Would've liked to see her at more shows but I think she just fits so well to Rad and opening + closing his show defenitely should make her even more interesting to other clients.

Last season's Calvin Klein exclusives didn't do so well in Europe I don't know this year, but I hope Sona and Natasia does well We'll see Maybe Hannah booked sem-exclusive? Marc Jacobs was her 1st show

Wonder if she was semi-exclusive? But if she was I'd imagine Pulse or Elite would've said something by now.

Louise would've done well in Europe... if she had been there! She had offers from Gucci and Jil Sander.

Damn school

 

[lanvinray]

^Yeah! Gucci would've been her breakthrough as it rarely gives exclusives I hope she surfaces in Europe this time around.

I dont think this is the case. If she would get Sander or Gucci i am pretty sure she would do the show no matter the school.

 

[*Bianca*]

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.

 

[CharlottefromCA]

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.
