Well, the choice is their's because they've basically made their mark in the industry.

Gemma did walk Prada last season

Miuccia is iffy on her models..there's not much job stability at Prada unless you're Marina Perez, Sasha or Freja (All have done Prada shows since their careers began..even Daria wasn't in the show last season, and she was THE Prada gal..then again, someone mentioned that they may have been reluctant to use her because of her devotion to Chanel now)

 

[TheGlassAngel]

Yyp. Walking no shows except for Chanel is devotion alright

[TheGlassAngel]

I thought she was so adorable in that Prada backstage video where they were applying the dark dark lipstick

Milan's out as Ward has designs on film

Natasha Bita, Milan September 27, 2006
Australian catwalk model Gemma Ward has skipped Milan's fashion week to work alongside Liv Tyler in a Hollywood horror movie.

The 18-year-old has featured in Calvin Klein, Valentino and Dolce & Gabbana campaigns since being discovered by Italian designer Miuccia Prada. But despite success on international runways - where top talent can demand $25,000 a show - she has always been drawn to acting.
Burberry creative director Christopher Bailey, who chose Ward to front the label during Kate Moss's spell in the sin-bin last summer, said he had begged her to lead his Milan parade.
"I couldn't have gotten on my knees more," Mr Bailey said yesterday.
"She had something very important going on in LA. I was devastated."
Ward has been cast in Strangers as one of three masked home invaders who terrorise Tyler. The film is to be released in October next year. She is also in upcoming Australian film The Black Balloon with Toni Collette.
Ward's absence was not the only problem for Burberry's Milan show. Three protesters from the animal rights group PETA leapt on to the catwalk to unfurl banners reading, "Burberry: Fur Shame." Fur was missing from Burberry's spring-summer 2007 collection of silvery, swingy trench coats, high-waisted shirt-dresses and gem-encrusted cocktail frocks. But the winter line, in-store soon, features fur trench coats and fur-trimmed skirts.

^Ah, so I guess we won't be seeing her at all Oh well...she'll be captured on film!

 

[jssy4eva]

So does that mean she won't be doing Paris either?

 

[Faith Akiyama]

^My thoughts exactly

 

[Pencey]

christopher comments are cute

 

[TheGlassAngel]

Awwww.....crap. I hate not seeing familiar faces. Well, that explains Stam opening Burberry then.

 

[cityl0vex3]

no milan? i hope that she goes to paris!

but i guess she really likes the acting thing, so that's good.

 

[jssy4eva]

It's going to be so weird not to see her walk at Dolce and Gabbana or Gucci

 

[melbguy]

And re the two articles I would say that the Australian newspaper is usually a more reliable source of info then the Sydney Morning Herald (which tends to be a bit more sensationalist)

 

[Faith Akiyama]

^I'd also believe Christopher Bailey over backstage speculation Thanks for the news melbguy!

 

[makhiukwan]

Soooooooo Disappointed to me...
coz i just waiting for her to show up in Milan & Paris show.
That mean she will skip the whole milan or even paris shows...
some of the show like Burberry, Prada, Marni, Gucci, Roberto Cavalli...
Gemma had already did 4 to 5 seasons...now we can't see her

 

[pinnie]

i expect gemma doing Paris&Milan shows.
