Exclusives

[vivaglam]

maybe a special request to? how do you know what is special request and exclusive?

It usually says Special Request on their showcard. I guess they don't go to casting, but instead the brand contacts the agency for the girl. Adriana's, when she has one, says it. I am guessing she was exclusive for Prada too? I don't know how that works.

you're right...DNA confirmed she was semi-exclusive which i think also include her work with Wang on her look, it's not like typical fittings..i presume she's balenciaga exclusive also, i hope!!!

Huh? Not like a typical fitting? Hows that?
Again "semi" means 'half', people. She was not semi exclusive if she did a full ny season and just started off with wang. That's just an agent decision to begin with a good show.

I think it should be clear here what a semi exclusive is. They are all very different things than a girl just debuting at a show in ny - The first city for shows. By default, bcbg, Richard chai, rag and bone and wang get to claim credit for debut the new girls!!! I've done semi exclusive with my models and its much more serious than debuting at a show early in a season.

^ you really need to read page #1 to understand what we all have been trying to explain to you about "semi-exclusives". This is getting really annoying.

What's the difference between a special request and an exclusive? Just curious about how these classifications work...

From the first page...
It seems there are different 'types' of exclusives:

Worldwide - The model's not allowed to walk for any other designers, regardless of city.
City - Probably the most well-known definition of an exclusive; can only walk for the exclusive show in that city...i.e meaning that she can walk for other designers in other cities.
Semi - Can't do any shows in city prior to the 'exclusive' show, but are free to do shows after. This type of exclusive mostly occurs in Europe.
Casting Director - Can do shows that are casted by a particular casting director.


A special request is exactly that... it is (usually) established girls who aren't going to the castings but are still available to designer/casting directors by "special request" meaning the designer/director would contact the girls agency and book her directly...

Hopefully I explained the special request accurately enough...

I think Stam is more special request rather than exclusive for Prada ?

That's not what semi exclusive means.

Frida Westerlund was a world wide exclusive for Balenciaga and opened the show according to Stockholmsgruppens instagram!

 

[stamonopkaward]

I asked if Stam was an exclusive because she specifically tweeted that she's walking "one show and one show only." I thought she was an exclusive because she would've normally shown up to 1 or 2 more shows like Dolce & Gabbana.

Sorry if I caused a confusion!
