Model Casting F/W 08.09, Cruise 09

[knightley]

I don't think so Mr. Dale..

Yes, Balenciaga and Chanel are loyal to their girls, but a lot of new girls have to claw and fight. They both tend to schedule heaps of fittings (more girls than outfits!) and cut quite a few at, like, two am! Ha. No names. Dolce and Gabbana are pretty good about sticking true to their casting, which is nice! If I remember, they have a lot of input in casting, and I know Tomas Maier plays a pretty big part in his casting. He normally has a list of his 'go-girls' and then lets the rest go to agents.

 

[Fontenrose]

Sooo, which agencies [dominate] which shows Knightley?

 

[knightley]

Women/Supreme and IMG have huge cuts of runways that have 'buyable' percentages. But that should make sense! Next is getting aggressive and Elite and Marilyn do well in Paris, but Women owns the show in Milan.

 

[oxymoron]

So, do the designers have the final say on who is on their show and what not? Like, for example, if the casting directors cast certain people, and the designers don't like them, they cut them right?

Wasn't it Miuccia who supposedly called Trentini ugly during a fitting?

 

[knightley]

Yeah, the designers certainly do, but they often trust their casting agencies, so. It's why some girls get cut at fittings (the designer is sometimes present for the ones early in the night - some are present for all of them, some trust their teams), others get cut backstage sometimes (that's more a Prada thing, though!), and a few get put on hold and never move another step from it. It's a process where you have to nail it everytime the designer sees you.

ETA: Sometimes the only time a designer really sees you is at the show, which is why, you know, some girls never come back to a house! Ha!

Sadly I think Georgia's time is over

Hate to sound mean but she was nothing special at all.. especially without her peroxide blonde hair

 

[TheGlassAngel]

I think Georgia's main issue is that she got bored of the look that catapulted her into stardom and then changed her hair over and over again, none of which worked as well as the peroxide blonde.

Either way, I really liked her as a model. For such a young girl, she had the confidence but ahh...maybe a come back when she's a little older? Either way...C'est la vie? (at least in the fashion industry )

Bad girl!!!!!

Georgia was at the Rad H casting, so she was in NY - but I find it odd she didn't do one single show. I mean surely, she would have got cast for one?! But I guess we'll see her in London no doubt.

I think this season has been deprived of the "it" girls (who ever that is to you). Its all about new girls...and i really hope this trend does not catch on in Europe ...with the exceptions of a few new girls of course. Or it would be great to get a mixture of both new and established...like last season.

Yeah, agree girls such as Raquel, Hilary, Julia, Lily, Aggy.... with some new but not Abbey Lee!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Gaultier_Bandit]

I really hope that casting gets good in Europe...because if it does not..this season is going to be horrible

 

[VogueElle Addict]

U read my mind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[TheGlassAngel]

More and more I think NYFW isn't really the place to look for top notch casting anymore...with the amount of big girls that has been skipping...

I'm probably late on this thought

 

[Gaultier_Bandit]

I hope enough people complain, so casting directors get the clue!!!

 

[VogueElle Addict]

NOW only Julia & Co back and that Hilary Rhoda gets fit in time and all sort it out!!!!!!!!!!!
