Model Casting F/W 08.09, Cruise 09

[oxymoron]

Who does the casting for Calvin Klein anyway?

I've always been curious on who does the casting for the shows. And, I guess this is the thread for it, as sometimes they change, but atleast for this season.

Russell Marsh: Generra, Philosophy, Prada, Miu Miu...any others?

Anna Sui is cast by Meisel, and does he do any other shows? Angus Munro does Preen, Narciso, Luella (I think?). Who cast for Jil Sanders or Marc Jacobs?

And Wayne is doing Rad.

I was under the impression that Russell Marsh casts Jil Sander actually. Also, he did cast the Christopher Kane show last season and will be doing so again this time around.

As far as I remember Angus Munro casts Calvin Klein.

Russell Marsh did Jonathan Saunders this season and I think will be doing Jaeger London too.

I think maybe it's Maida who casts Calvin. But I really have no clue, just remember reading something like that on TI or MDC.

I thought Karl Templer casts for CK? I honestly don't really know though..just throwing out my guess

 

[Rochas]

It's maeda for ck

 

[kristi_b]

Who's MIA this fall and why?

Ok, there's probably similar threads, but let's try something a little different. I've noticed several girls aren't appearing much, or at all so far and I'm curious as to why. I do not want this to be another, I hate_____because", or "I'm so glad_______isn't here". There's already way too much of that. Instead, maybe some of you in the know can shed some light on the subject and educate many of us that that are wondering.

But Balenciaga and Chanel are also common for giving cancellation with little warning.

really? i didn't know that. any names you can gives us?

who does casting for balenciaga & chanel i wonder. the thing i like about balenciaga (and chanel too i guess) is that they are usually quite loyal to their castings/models.

I think Karl has major input into his casting but I think he has people who help him out too. If I remember what smokebreak was saying from a while ago, he has a casting for new faces that he shows up to, then he has his casting for the 'known' girls which he does not attend. Also in an interview with Dovile V, Karl met her and told the woman casting to put her in the show.

Isn't that how Nicole Trunfio was casted for some of Karl's shows... Karl ran up to her and thought she was Mariacarla and then she met him and she got casted.

 

[MyNameIs]

Snejana's not in New York, but I don't know why. She did last season, but not the season before.

 

[TheGlassAngel]

Kim Noorda isn't in NY either but she'll apparently be in Europe. I got this from her thread

 

[*k.a.t.e*]

Rosie HW isn't in NY but I think she'll do London as she usually does. Also, Andi Muise did a couple of shows at the beginning of this week but then went to Jamaica to shoot, not sure if she'll be doing London or not.

 

[CharlottefromCA]

Edita V. skipped NY as well.

 

[tocceve]

Julia Stegner obviously skipped New York and might skip the whole season.
She isn't very much into fashion week and only walks for a few designers in the last seasons so it's not surprising that she doesn't appear at all.
and in an interview she talked about skipping the season .
Hopefully she is shooting something at least.

 

[youarearockstar]

This is odd, considering that Marc has used new girls to open his show for awhile now (Lera Sheremeta, Olga Sherer, Iekeliene Stange

Breathless excitement, ladies and gentlemen as the Marc Jacobs backstage crowd mills and spills around. Its the best VIP room in town . It's a battle of the status coats and the conspicious air kiss..Here are the latest newsflashes...No more classical strings weeping over everything. Marc has gone back to his rock roots for the music...Sonic Youth set to perform live...Opening girls, Irina K..closing girl..Alana Z. Stay tuned!

The Rad exclusive - or one of them anyway, the brand new girl - was Rena Donaldson at Mode. Now placed with NYMM.

I expected something/someone more exciting.

A Last Minute Coup!

New York is winding down, the fashion machine in London is gearing up but that doesn’t mean the new girl wars are done. Rena Donaldson sweep into NY the night before the Rad Hourani show to walk for him as her debut and OTM loves that her doll-like beauty fit into the cabine with perfection. Whatever is in that water in Canada?

 

[nyc_art_style]

wheres georgia frost and johanna stickland? those are two girls i was just starting to warm up to when suddenly they disappeared. i know johanna missed s/s 08 too because of school, but she was suppose to come back for this season.

 

[ysljunkie]

Other than Kim and Hilary and those^ the other's are played IMO. maybe thats why they skipped NY fashion week? idk.

 

[Mr-Dale]

I can't help but wonder, what power and effect does being cast or being an exclusive for Rad Hourani have anyway? The buzz and hype created around it by MDC and TI make it feel like it's a HUGE show, but honestly...does that show really have such impact on bookers?
