Model Behavior (PLEASE READ POST #1 BEFORE POSTING)

[Toni Ahlgren]

Wouldn't be surprising. Other agencies do similar things. I recall a Jones New York ad from many years ago where all the girls (4-5 of them, including Carmen Kass) were all Women models. And there was a recent mag cover (an international edition of Harper's Bazaar?) with 4 Next models. I'm pretty sure in both instances, the agencies maneuvered it so that only their models got the job. And I've read of agencies that will tell clients that if they want one of their big models, they have to book one of their up and coming ones for the same job. It probably only works if one of the models is a big deal. I don't know if either Lila nor Georgia are really big enough to pull off such a stunt, but Kate may be leveraging her own pull and status within the industry.

She also managed to grab this Zara Lingerie & Underwear (Zara) September 2024 campaign with only her models.

Vivi Orth talking about Naomi, she shared a moment of them together on a trip to Ibiza and emphasized how egocentric Naomi is, in addition to saying that it's time for her to be canceled for real, because Naomi has done a lot of sh*t and to this day she is applauded.

Vivi Orth coming through with the tea, she doesn't give a flying f*ck and I'm here for it.

Good for her.

I hope someone will name the "senior manager" at IMG that Joan references to publicly shame him/her.

 

[blueorchid]

But the industry is too woke, guys!

 

[vogue22]

More importantly, i hope this person gets fired and publicly apologize for this.

cause it's not 2016, it's 2024, reversed racism is the real problem! 😩 (sorry, still laughing about a throwaway account posting this in the Saint Laurent campaign thread..)

I don't understand why not naming names, he/she likes public humiliation, let the person have it!... or can we start guessing who it was?

85 in a 35 zone? Thats some disgusting behavior if true. She needs to run asap thats someone that doesnt mind killing people with his car.

Anyway, I can't figure out where else to post this. I've just noticed over the years, whenever there's Lila Moss or Georgia Palmer from KMA doing something major, there's also other models from KMA. It feels like Kate is saying, you can't have Georgia or my daughter if you don't also book these ones. This applies to to shows, editorials, campaigns... Thoughts?

I don't work in an agency any longer, but when I did deals like this definitely happened (though we didn't have the star power of a KM, so I can't speak to that)! Booking is so much haggling and brokering back and forth. Rates higher or lower for certain perks, etc. etc. Booking multiple models from our agency for a single project would be presented as a "discount" of sorts. It's also appealing to clients to book through one agency as that means communication is through a single contact as opposed to multiple. Then you start thinking about travel and accommodations, and working with one agency is so much easier. Kind of a win-win for both sides.

Vivi strikes again!

In this first video about VSFS 2024 she says that Gigi's opening was TERRIBLE and that the former angels didn't deserve the attention they deserve!



In this one, she says that Kendall was terrible at the beginning of her career and that she is still bad today on the runways and in photos.

She also said that she doesn't like the way Sasha walks in the fashion shows because she always looks the same in all of them.

Well is she wrong?????

 

[vogue22]

Tearing other women down and for what? Who is vivi worth in 2024? Where is she on the modeling scene? Nowhere to be seen.

 

[berbe]

I see nothing wrong with her stating her opinions on other models's lack of skills, it's their profession.

She can certainly post whatever she wants, but public call out of peers for frivolous things wouldn’t be seen as professional behavior in any industry. It’s clear as day she just says those things for clout to help build her career as a tiktoker or influencer and obviously criticism of someone like Kendall will always be well-received by audiences. It’s not “wrong” but it’s in poor taste.

please, this is mild compared to what designers would say about each other in print back in the day. Expecting fashion people to stick to corporate-workplace-style standards of inoffensiveness just to not rock the boat, is part of the problem with why fashion has become so bland - all the personality gets censored or driven away.

I think Viviane was told she was the next Giselle one too many times when she was 16 and has been in a state of arrested development since.
