Model Casting F/W 2021.22

[FiveEasyPieces]

Hermès was like a parade of the industries most undervalued models past and present.

 

[Armani]

Meadow Walker opened Givenchy. She doesn’t look out of place at all! Definitely has the allure of a model, despite her last name.

 

[tapenerd]

She’s the only celebrity-related model I’ll accept!

I don’t know who she is. Miriam Sanchez on the other hand... absolutely terrific. The girl of the season.

 

[FiveEasyPieces]

I’m kind of baffled by the volume of models and staging at some of these shows, particularly Valentino where they had about 40 models standing in close proximity to each other by the end of the show. I’d have thought there’d be more scrutiny, especially in Europe where the vaccine campaign has been rather slow.

 

[Armani]

Adam Hindle -> Giulia Massullo at Balmain. I was wondering where that good of a casting came from… seemed to be thin air for a hot minute

 

[FiveEasyPieces]

The casting at Gucci x Balenciaga was actually decent? Maybe I’m just pleased that they cast models who could realistically work for other designers rather than booking the most modelesque students/lecturers at any European art college.

 

[Riseup]

Michael Kors was AMAZING, finally an exciting cast in NY

 

[bluestar]

^ Agreed! It was so amazing to see Shalom, Naomi, Helena, Carolyn, Liya, Karen...

 

[FiveEasyPieces]

They must have been happy for an opportunity to get out of the house.

Anyone know what’s been going on with this round of casting-director-musical-chairs I’ve been seeing lately? Bitton’s out from Miu Miu and has been replaced with Brokaw… and Fendi’s been using Dior’s Shelley Durkan ever since Kim Jones got appointed, but Dior also just switched from Durkan over to Michelle Lee.

Michelle Lee was always the casting director for Dior. Shelley Durkan still does the casting for menswear as far as I know.

That makes much more sense; thank you!

Marc Jacobs (FW21) - Anita Bitton -> Piergiorgio del Moro
Paco Rabanne (SS22) - Ashley Brokaw -> Piergiorgio del Moro

 

[ICONICA26]

I'm not liking these PG switches...

 

[MagFan]

Some Erin O'Connors and Jade Parfitts of the past would have looked fantastic at Balenciaga Couture and ALT walking in one of those oversized coats in front of Wintour and her new black boytoy bestie would have been epic haha

YAS, was thinking of ALT when those coats where floating about. Such a missed iconic moment but honestly I don't think ALT could have made it through through one room let alone the whole salon.
