Wavy and with the sidebangs, Karlie's hair looks much nicer, than before VSFS. I am really starting to admire that look on her.

Oh, what a relief! Her hair looks SO much better.

The comments in that video seem to be pretty negative towards Karlie. Why do most people hate her?

 

[Fashion1987]

She looks like a school teacher at the Vogue Fashion Fund Awards
The negative comments are probably because some people are jealous and hateful morons.

Its most people actually, the highest comment on many video she's in are always negative, even at the Daily Mail. Why is that because the fashion world seems to be head over heels for her?

can someone ID her glasses? they are gorgeous!

Because she is mainstream successful now. And with that comes unwarranted hate.

I know but other high fashion models who have gone mainstream especially through VS don't get a fraction of the hate Karlie gets. Like most people love Constance Jablonski, Bregje Heinen, Lais Ribeiro, Toni Garrn, Maryna Linkchuk, etc

The comments on this video are quite appalling

That's true. Maybe because she isn't beautiful in a mainstream sense of the word. So people who aren't into fashion struggle to comprehend what makes her so successful and they hate her because they maybe think she isn't deserving of her success.

Give me Karlie over Maryna or Toni any day.

I agree Maryna, Toni and the other girls are more beautiful in an obvious sort of way. Karlie is more successful in high fashion so I think she should stick with it rather than suffer all the negetivity and hate while going mainstream

You know, I think part of it is just what they're "suitable" for and what type of environment is most flattering for their features.

Karlie is very expressive and dramatic in a fashion way. She also has a lot of great shadows and contours in her facial bone structure and body. That type of stuff looks amazing with high fashion lighting, styling and theme. You can get really experimental with the lighting and makeup with Karlie.

But VS shoots have a more commercial light. It's less about shadows and contours and more about the girl, the features, the softness. That tends to be why commercial girls have a softer/reflective bone structure and fuller features(emily didonato, candice swanepoel, miranda kerr etc) than high fashion girls. It suits the lighting but of course there are some exceptions.

You can see the difference in other videos and photos too like some of Karlie's lingerie pics for VS. Her bone structure is a little too strong for the lighting as opposed to someone with a softer face with fuller features like Candice...and you see the difference again with Candice's high fashion stuff compared to Karlie's high fashion stuff. Many consumers haven't been exposed to Meisel, David Sims etc so that might be why they don't "get" Karlie.

I don't know the technical side of photography, lighting, bone structure and all that but I don't buy into that 'high fashion' or 'commercial' labels that are put on girls a lot nowadays. Don't you think if a girl is beautiful then she will look beautiful whether she's doing a campaign for Chanel or appearing on the SI cover? It is difficult to fathom that one can be absolutely beautiful for one type of job and an absolute failure for another but that seems to be a unique case in terms of Karlie while girls like Maryna, Toni are suitable for both types of 'environment' like you say

 

[michelabella]

well maryna and co. are virtual unknowns to the general public so therefore of course its gonna seem like no one hates on them. they have not got near as much hype or publicity that karlie has. the more success and publicity a girl gets the haters multiply. most seem to want to root for the under dog, which karlie clearly isnt. well imo a model/celeb hasnt even arrived yet if he/she has no haters. lol

Actually, a lot of times this is how agencies and clients determine which girls are more suitable to start out in which direction. Some girls do really well with commercial lighting but so so with "edgier" lighting and then it's the opposite for other girls.

It's not really about "jobs" you see, in my last post I was talking about lighting. If you look at any big photographer's website or their management's website, you will see that a lot of times they divide their portfolio into "commercial" and "editorial/fashion." VS is a very commercial brand and showcase the products in a very commercial lighting. They shoot an entire series with different models but with the same lighting with a few adjustments. They don't change the set for different models depending on what she looks best in..
Greg Kadel shoots both VS and editorials for Numero but he uses a softer lighting for VS. Certain lighting can bring out more of a girl than another.

What I'm saying with Karlie is that a lot of her beauty and success has to do with her bone structure and expressiveness. It's very dramatic and edgier fashion lighting makes the best of it but a softer, commercial light doesn't do much for her.

I see the opposite with Toni actually. Her features and face are kind of soft and she doesn't have a range of expressions. Her commercial work is great but her fashion editorials aren't at the same level as girls like Karlie.
The opposite would be someone like Freja--look at her Maybelline photos.
