Model Casting F/W 08.09, Cruise 09

[penny609]

^yes I'm dreaming of an unseen, unknown face as well... (secretly my biggest wish would be Nastya @ Nagorny but who knows ?heart:

 

[*Bianca*]

^She just made her way over to the AL board, so you never know!

 

[penny609]

^ you are my hero *Bianca* that's like a very good sign

 

[Li Ya Fan]

No sign of Taryn Davidson either yet. Same with several Prada exclusives from last season (Alana Kuznetsova, Cate Chant, Franziska Drude, Lovisa Ingman). I'm not sure which of them are actually in NYC, but they all had showcards.

I guess Taryn might repeat her Calvin exclusive. But that makes three already (Toni, Ali, Taryn)... and surely they'll save a few exclusive spots for brand new girls. Perhaps she's just being managed very carefully? We shall see soon.

Little Lovisa just reported for duty at DKNY! Alana Kuznetsova I could totally picture as Proenza exclusive.

 

[style_expert]

Proenza has exclusives ?

 

[*Bianca*]

Alana was at Vera Wang Lavender label, I think.

 

[Li Ya Fan]

^ Oh. I wonder why she's not booking anything else then.

^^ Not like Prada, Calvin or Jil Sander, but occasionally, I thought. Rachel Clark started out a Proenza exclusive, no?

 

[style_expert]

^ I see your point...looking forward to the Proenza casting..they usually have a good casting

 

[Mr-Dale]

^I dunno...perhaps first rights to a girl? Like Rachel Clark back then?

After a few days of fashion week I have to say that I am very happy with the trends I see on the runway. For instance, the diversity definetly seems to be kicking in. Girls like Jourdan Dunn and Yordanos Telhager seem to be doing great. And the sudden success of Pei Bei doesn't seize to amaze me...honestly I thought that her moment was over after her lack of real success after her Dior gig...

 

[oxymoron]

Taryn showed up at the GAP presentation, so I guess no CK exclusive. Odd that she wasn't at any of the prior shows though.

 

[knightley]

Taryn might've arrived late.

I mean being everywhere, but being everywhere for the big shows? The first weekend is always a lot of small, but all right shows, so it'll be fascinating to see who is doing what vis-a-vis Ralph Lauren, Oscar de la Renta, Marc Jacobs, Carolina Herrera: the big heavy hitters of New York. I'd imagine we'll see more Taryn there and less Abbey Lee. Just my opinion, of course!

But these shows, to me, don't carry as much weight as booking the top of the line blue-chip a-list shows later this week and then into Milan and Paris.

Add in the fact that Han is doing really well and Eugenia is doing decently so far and I hope we are on to something big. While I would prefer Ajuma to Jourdan (sad that Ajuma didn't even get a card), it's still nice to see this great diversity.

I very much agree. There hasn't been a major show in NY so far IMO so it's kind of early to tell who's hit or miss.

am agree totally with you,from Rag & Bone on Friday, today except Jessica Stam, Lily D, Trentini the rest tops haven't showed up so from tomorrow (10 AM Carolina Herrera) we can say who hit and who miss..... IMO

 

[harrietcamilla]

Preen last season had a top casting, some may show up at that. otherwise herrera is where it all begins in the way of top shows.
there are a few top models with showcards that haven't walked yet ie anja, raquel.

 

[VogueElle Addict]

When is Preen show?

 

[oxymoron]

2pm today, so it probably finished up. Preen is cast by Angus Munro right? And, I think he also does Narciso Rodriguez and maybe a few other shows.

 

[VogueElle Addict]

and any model casting news?

 

[knightley]

Ilze should be at Rad. She was confirmed for it; so she might be the whisked from foreign shores one, no idea, though!

Yeah, depending on Preen's bankroll. IMO, we're seeing a lot of Abbey Lee, Siri, Masha because they don't command the amount of money Natasha, Raquel, Stam, Lily, Trentini, Inguna (surprisingly she is worth as much as Tash), Olga, Vlada, Sasha all do. I do think Siri and Masha will carry on and have blockbuster seasons establishing themselves to their contemporaries, but I imagine quite a few of the girls we're seeing everywhere now will step drop off.

BUT PRAYING for Adina F to bust out!

 

[xPedro]

Crazy to see who will be Prada's exclusive!
