Model Behavior (PLEASE READ POST #1 BEFORE POSTING)

[christian zh]

I remember Matt Gordon from back then, he looks so different now

I don't think he looks different now? He still looks hot? His latest ig post, and the caption

matgordondaily #biking #nyc fave thing to do in this city after the boys.

^you´re right, he doesn´t look different. I thought he looked now like he did in the article pics.

The Mat Gordon thing is old news. His own fault too. He should model again though.

 

[Deleted member 130879]

He looks better in the article. Longer hair suits him.

That being said, I went through his insta and he should totally be friends with Catherine McNeil. Their lifestyle looks similar and they both make me roll my eyes so hard I get an headache. I can't stand this party-quirky-fit-"outrageous" trendy models. That's why I stopped following most models and stick to models like Van Seenus', Murphy's and O'Connor's.

Frida comes across as such a jerk in that article! He's just a model, there are loads of others to replace him with, no need to blacklist the bloke.

I really don't agree with this, he is a model, he has one obligation in life: showing up to castings/ shots/ shows in time. It shouldn't be that hard.
I really can't feel any empathy in his regard, especially because the reason to all this is that he just was partying too much and couldn't care enough about his work.
If you behave in such a way in your professional life, well obviously there are consequences.
If this were an interview for any other demanding job, you wouldn't have a second chance unless you postponed it on an early notice and for a very good reason.

Of course I'm not excusing his behaviour. But models, for the most part, are generally dispensable. So why she had to go at such great lengths as blacklisting him seems unnecessarily harsh.

I don't know if it's allowed to discuss about it here but I just saw that there was some drama during the Dolce Men show today a model ( I don't know his name) just left during the show and threw the jacket of his look on the floor . The staff tried to catch him but he looks very pissed , I don't really know what happened : Just saw that from a snapchat video who since got deleted

I'm looking forward the video to be put on youtube so I can ID the model I think he did not even bother to do the final but since there are always a mess it will be hard to find out ( he had a black and yellow look) If anyone know what happened I would love to have more info ...

Is there really nothing he could have done, like totally not walk the show, vs standing in the centre at the end and make a spectacle of himself? The cynic in me says he is hunger for attention, opportunities like these afterall only comes once in awhile, now we all know who he is

 

[KateTheGreatest]

^Maybe he thought is he did not walk no one would know why? At least if he is there, he can tell why.

But like you said, with such acts you never know the true cause of it. It could be because he really did feel that way and wanted to speak up ... or it could be just for publicity.

 

[Benn98]

Wow, ok. Didn't even know about this. I can understand where the comments questioning his intent is coming from, but maybe, just maybe that wasn't the case. Or maybe it is.
I'm more concerned that he ONLY found out about D&G's crazy antics a day before walking (and many of the models apparently still didn't know as they walked). These are people working IN the fashion industry! What's the missing link here. What exactly are millennials reading if they spend so much time online anyway???

 

[kokobombon]

I´m not buying that just the day before he found out...
This looks like a antic to make him more noticeable.
I mean, if you´re already involved in social media, you don´t have to know about fashion to know about D&G and their views. It´s been widely reported.

 

[Scotty]

I agree. I think if you're gonna boycott them, just don't walk for them. Isn't that what boycotting is? PETA interrupting the show teas. Did they have him removed or what?

Kind of glad this happened though. Maybe it'll stop D&G from hiring random people.

To me he sounds quite sincere. If I had a choice of having dinner with this guy or Dolce or Gabbana, it would definitely be this guy.

The “Boycott Dolce & Gabbana” T-shirt they created completely makes a mockery of what “boycotting” is. Boycotting is the people’s voice. A protest is the people’s voice. It has power. It changes things. When I came out to Milan for my first time walking on a fashion runway, ever, I was excited. I’m a stylish-*** young kid, but I don’t know everything about fashion. I knew nothing about the T-shirt until I was here. I had already agreed to walk for them. [The day before the show,] I Googled “Dolce & Gabbana” so that I could know who was who when I finally met them. I didn't want to be disrespectful to either one of them by calling them the wrong name. When I typed up their names, the first thing I saw was a headline on Fortune.com, “Dolce & Gabbana Is Trolling Melania Trump Critics with This $245 T-shirt.” National Post, AOL, etc. And then I saw a commercial featuring the boycott T-shirt, and it looked playful and lighthearted—it was a joke. It was a troll. Me, as a young man from Stone Mountain, Georgia, the birthplace of the Klu Klux Klan, I really felt this mockery of boycotting. Who knows, if boycotts didn’t happen, if Rosa Parks and M.L.K. didn’t step up…who knows if I would even exist. Boycotting matters. Boycotting is real. Dolce’s entire campaign says it’s not real.

This!

...also I don't care if he did do as a publicity stunt... (I honestly don't think that's the case though)

 

[YohjiAddict]

He was just hungry for attention as millenials and bloggers usually are. He's too full of himself to realize that, it's was never about politics but about his narcissism.

 

[fashionista-ta]

^ How can you say what it was about for him? I get what it's about for you, but I don't see how that has any bearing on his motivation ...

Yet you seem so convinced on his sincerity...how do you know that, as well?

 

[EdithV]

It would seem he's convinced himself that people are just jealous of him rather than shocked by his immaturity. He's humiliating himself and the brand, I'm surprised no one close to the situation has said anything.

 

[fluxxx]

Somehow i also got this idea maybe Dolce&Gabbana also behind of this thing.. they got more publicity and for that guy as well he got publicity as well and he can "speak out" about this cause Millenials also care about politic issue etc.. so it's win win situation. Maybe its only my thought but it's kinda weird because Stefano hasnt rant about this act in his instagram account.
