Anja at Chanel <3

I won't watch Miu Miu tomorrow, I don't want to See any pictures of the show, I will wait with having a Look at the clothes until they are hanging in the stores. We have to deal with them everywhere, on the Covers of Vogue Paris and Vogue Italia on the Runway of nearly every big Fashion house, we have to See their faces in nearly every Fashion Magazine we are opening, but Miu Miu was something untouched, something safe for me, I just can't...

wow not even Cara got to do Miu Miu… and now that i look back at her HF times, seeing her at the major shows was waaay more bearable than those two.

loved seeing Magda at Chanel!

Am I actually the only one who's excited for this cast? Don't get me wrong, I don't think Kendall, Gigi and all the instamodels fit the aesthetic of the show.
Miu Miu is the kind of brand that won't cast girls who didn't start with them. It's like either you start with us or you're never walking for us and it's getting annoying because there are lots of girls out there who fit the show and will never get it just because of that (LV, CK and Prada do the same thing).
It will be interesting to see if Miuccia will stay loyal to some of her girls.

 

[Runabout]

Does this mean that fashion is totally ruined then?

I'm pretty sure that this is just the start of the days where the hard work of models will be overshadowed always by Kendall, Gigi and the press. If Vogue's reluctancy of crowning Lia Pavlova as the NYFW Queen over Gigi is an indication, then I'm sure the worst is about to come...

Really miss when fashion week is just fashion week

Very much agree with you on this point. Casting for LV, Prada and Miu Miu can mirror each other. Prada and Miu Miu, albeit different follow through most of the time with the same girls. It works for the most part but it does become uninteresting. LV, recycles and adds new faces each new season with the addition of established. So I guess a shake-up is warranted but Anita/Katie of all people? I normally like to reverse judge but its so easy to predict their motives.

 

[clayboy]

this is really upsetting

 

[artemovartem]

Kendall and Gigi should be banned from fashion industry. I always tried to ignore them, but it's not even funny right now.

 

[saucer-like]

If it were any other stylist or CD, maybe there would be a chance of something unexpected or different, but you could basically write out the cast list from the minute the news broke. What would Grand/Bitton bring to Miu Miu that we haven't already seen at Marc Jacobs or Balmain or any issue of Love magazine?

At least Brokaw would introduce new faces each season, whether they are everyone's taste or not. She uses the same girls for most of her shows too, but sometimes they fade (so we only have to put up with them for 1 or 2 seasons) or they become rising stars and actually appeal to other clients.

He's not a model, but Chris Brown sat FROW at Givenchy....

[anlabe32]

but Anita/Katie of all people?

Why not Michelle Lee & Joe McKenna/Karl Templer
Or Patrizia Piloti & Benjamin Bruno...

I guess MiuMiu just wants to draw attention to the brand. It's always been in the shadow of Prada. And who better to draw attention than the two biggest attention seekers in the industry. I mean, they would probably cast themselves to open and close if they could.

 

[Marc10]

^Miu Miu has been actually having stronger sales than Prada in the past years. And they do such a good job with the selected actresses they dress/have on the front row & campaigns.

And thing is, having Kendal, Gigi etc in show lost its shock value long time ago. They're all so terribly overexposed these days, so the whole thing feels so try-gard and lame.

 

[RedSmokeRise]

Charlotte Free at Chanel? Thought she stopped modeling.

 

[TheoG]

^^ Which is the point I don't necessarily understand. Miu Miu seems solid, its one of the most anticipated shows of the season. Bring along these two only seems to exacerbate things and certainly not in the best way.

I'd take Russell Marsh back, Joe McKenna styling. Patrizia Piloti & Benjamin Bruno seems very fitting. Casting director Shelley Durkan, given the opporunity would be great. Even Jonathan Kaye, the options are endless.

 

[fashunviktim]

I heard cara delivigne at Miu Miu too. It's all of them

 

[Warhol]

Just bring Bella and Hailey B. too, Cirque is complete at MiuMiu

 

[John Black]

I don't get what designers see in Ondria, let alone have her close the Chanel show. She's a runway filler at best.

I think the complete opposite. I love to see Ondria on the runway. Her look, her walk and her "attitude" is what makes her stand out. She started super young which is always tricky but 5years later she is still here and still in demand.

 

[gbam]

I hope Anita/Katie at least do a more diverse cast than Ashley's normally are

 

[thatsfierce]

I will hate this f*cking industry if this really happens. I can't wait for the show.

 

[Runabout]

Kendall and Gigi should be banned from fashion industry. I always tried to ignore them, but it's not even funny right now.

The fact is, we can not escape them.
