What a bold move, too bad for Ford though
It just never ends with Ford. They develop a girl and then she bolts to another agency, the same story over and over. Also, this is a move that can be counterproductive for Lexi. As SpeakthatJDunn noted, IMG has soooo many top girls that it's easy to get lost in the shuffle. Look at Anja Rubic. Leaving Next was a mistake IMO.
Per Chanel Iman and Hanne Gaby: Chanel went to Supreme from Ford during that whole kerfuffle when Paul Rowland went to Ford and the entire prior Ford bookers bolted to Supreme. Then she went to IMG, which really hasn't done much for her. She's not really part of the high fashion scene any more and she certainly hasn't reached the commercial success of even someone like Candace Swanepoel.
Hannah left for IMG after Rowland got canned at Ford and all of its girls left in droves for other agencies. It's also debatable that IMG has done much for her career other than sustain it. IMG didn't elevate it in any manner.
