Model Casting F/W 16.17

[Lola701]

They don't have any creative direction so...she can fit in whatever they will show. I wonder if Carine will have anything to do with it.

I believe the only big show she will not do is Vuitton.

Oh god, what a nightmare...

The current state of the modeling world is so depressing. Most of the "cool girls" are straight up unattractive to me, & most of the "instagirls" are insufferable. We need to go back to an era where there were beautiful models who walked the big shows AND booked the campaigns without us scratching our heads wondering why they are successful. When the Pavlova twins are booking the most shows & Kendall is booking Dior you know it's time for a modeling intervention. Something has got to change.

^Excuse me? What's wrong with Pavlova sisters? They have this classic elegant runway model look which is exactly what we are missing in this industry right now. But I agree this cool girl trend has to stop immediately.

I don't care about Dior at the moment, when the new Designer is in we will see which Models he prefers, but whatever will happen it does not shock me anymore, she is already everywhere, I mean she was on the cover of Vogue Paris, she has a big cosmetic contract and it's only a question of time until she will make it to the "new supers" list. Everyone knows that she has absolutely no talent and is a complete joke. But she will get booked, we can't stop it anymore. The only thing that would really shock me would be her opening prada...

"Classic and elegant runway look" is not exactly what comes to my mind when I think about the Pavlova twins. On the other hand it's this quirky look that I like about them. They somewhat feel different but in another way than the other "cool girls".

About Dior, well, at least, we can expect to see some other big names there.

IDK, I'm just not seeing what is so special about them. They are very pedestrian imo. I don't understand a lot of the newer girls' success. Skylar Tartz is another one that baffles me. I don't see a model in her at all.

I'd rather have the Pavlova sisters than Lineisy for example.

But the ones that really make me angry girls like Celine Bouly or Heather Kemesky. That Celine girl is so incredibly plain. I could take a 30 minute stroll through my Dutch town and find at least 10 girls that are more suited to be a model than her.

Irene Hiemstra showing up at Loewe

 

[thatsfierce]

Cool to see Irene again!!! Such a surprise

 

[Elite13]

I'd rather Kendall at Dior than Gigi or Bella tbh

 

[MyNameIs]

Are there any A-list shows left that haven't had a "celebrity model" walking?

 

[saucer-like]

Gucci, I think.

I would still count Prada and Miu Miu. For now that is, considering who is casting + styling for Miu Miu this season.

 

[jj36]

Hermes doesn't do stunt casting. Maybe in JPG era but they haven't since then.

 

[Littleathquakes]

Kendall wasn't so bad at Dior, IMO. She fits in with the rest of that cast. in fact, I think she's an OK model. Gigi on the other hand I'm so over. She just isn't model material, she has such a dumpy walk on the runways. I wasn't even that impressed with her on the VS runway, and that's like hard to do since you have fellow awful walker Lily Albridge there.

 

[valliaddict]

I'd take Gigi over Kendall any day. Neither of them should be on the runway, but if Gigi wasn't a nep-girl she would still be a well-paid commercial model. Not as successful as she is now, but working at least. If anyone sticks out in a bad way, it's Kendall.

 

[Edie123]

If I had to chose, I prefer Gigi in print and Kendall on the runway.

I do think they've both improved, but are obviously still getting a disproportionate amount of work compared to their talent levels.

But that's just the era we live in!

 

[Mrs.Smith]

Yeah, I'd prefer Kendall on the runway, too, really don't like Gigi's walk. But to be fair, some of the new models seem to be walking a little like her - bending slightly forward instead of backwards, which makes their necks disappear. Is that supposed to be the new edgy?

 

[Fernini]

Kendall has the body proportions and height to be on the runway. :roll eyes: Bland face as other models specially white "canvas" models.

 

[YeohRocks]

You know who I don't get? JULIE HOOMANS. My goodness


Also Kendall > Gigi. Gigi just isnt a model for me. Kendall at least could pass as a filler and can walk if her life depended on it. Also I think Kendall has a presence about her already. Gigi, just makes my skin crawl.
