Interesting point fiercification. I believe she is also over her high fashion point. She needs to have good management about how to maintain it or better expand it via other ways/clients/channels/non high fashion segments.

I understand that some girls take the IMG route to explore and try to expand this...I wonder what Jourdan is going to do, as I am not totally smitten with what Women significantly has done or can do for her to expand her exposure/status to become more known also to the non-fashion inside american crowd.

I wonder how long it will take for her to jump ship....

and yes i do believe she needs for US for sure the shows.... to keep exposure...look at Sessilee she was the darling of high fashion for a minute...2 seasons no show..and where is she now ? Have you seen her lately ? Jourdan can not afford to take the gamble to not walk in NYC or other markets for that matter...to high of a risk.

anyways...as i said...wonder how this will go.

^ Chanel, Mimi Roche, Alek Wek, Naomi (?) also walked for McQueen. However Jourdan and Chanel were the last black models to walk for the brand in S/S 2009 (which Jourdan also closed).

I see Jourdan's career along the same lines as an Alana Zimmer. She has already hit the high-point of her career but continues to work solidly on both the runway and in editorial. She has the support of specific people and outlets like US Vogue, Edward Enninful, Christopher Bailey, James Scully which keep her relevant, however she's past the point of grabbing the attention of new clients. Which means that the progression of her career has flat-lined.

At the end of the day though, she's incredibly lucky to still be working at a relatively high level. Most girls, regardless of race don't maintain the kind of relevancy that Jourdan has been able to hold onto for five years. I don't think that it's worth her doing full on show seasons anymore for the reasons I outlined above. What she has that most other girls don't have is personality and charisma. I think that the show on the Jay-Z channel is a perfect fit for her. If she can continue to work in that arena, whilst balancing a few good print jobs then she'll be in an ideal place, professionally and financially IMO.

I hope she doesn't switch to IMG, it did nothing for Chanel!
