Joan Smalls

[fantastical]

^^I think it was a combination of that plus her switching agencies

its amazing...when i met her at elite they just pigeon holed her as a macys girl..fast forward a couple months and joan(pronounced Jone fyi) is sitting on a givenchy couture exclusive and is snatching up every major show possible. im sure elite is kicking themselves for giving her the push...im also sure being with IMG has something to do with it to. i also find it incredible that IMG mainboarded her and she booked these shows with a book full of tests...incredible

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think Joan Smalls is the 1st black model who walked for Prada with 2 looks in years

But TI was very excited to see the breakthrough of Joan Smalls this season at shows as wide ranging as Antonio Berardi, Christopher Kane, Aquasctum, Julian McDonald, Anna Sui, Micheal Kors, Rodarte, Marc Jacobs, Althazurra and Alexander Wang.

That meant Ms Smalls went through not only the filter of all these designers but also got past the very high gates of a wide-cross section of casting directors and stylists such as Karl Templer, Russell Marsh, Melanie Huynh, Michelle Lee and That-Mysterious-Force-Behind-Anna-Sui .

It is a kind of a genius act of synchronization and you have to respect Ms Smalls for delivering the blue chip goods at her go-sees. Conspiracy theorists allege that IMG went full press on a Joan Smalls sell right after her Givenchy Couture debut, thus skillfully capitalizing on what could have been a passing moment. It is said to be the single most relentless initiative since the making of Hilary Rhoda in her first season. Don't you love that buzz, especially as it comes from rival agents?.

Conspiracy theories regarding her success??... sour grapes on those "rival agents" part I guess
If it builds up a buzz around her it's a great thing I suppose.

Pucci was such an ...interesting show I guess. But she looks amazing both there and at Gucci. A simple, sexy look.
