Model Casting S/S 11

[Sam12]

^ Milan never is "friendly." Its always been like that.

On the contrary though Chanel Iman, Jourdan Dunn, Lais Ribiero and especially Joan Smalls seem to be having a better season there.

that melodie monrose (spelling?) has done some nice shows... and i like her too... lol

 

[oxymoron]

I'm also somewhat surprised Rose is doing as badly in Milan as she is. I didn't expect her to book as many shows with Melodie as the hot new thing, Jourdan coming back and Joan and Lais continuing to do well, but still. I think she's only done 2 or 3 shows so far.

I thought Ming was going to kill it in Milan as well.

 

[agee]

Lais Ribiero has really blossomed this season, not just in booking shows but in terms of standing out / oozing star power on the runway.

A few times that Melodie girl has looked scared crapless, of course I wish her well, but she really needs to learn how to fake the funk.

I would just like to know how much money did DolceGabbana spend on having all those girls walk for them. Not only did they have an army but some of the absolute best girls (who still do shows) walked for them, which couldn't have been cheap. Or do these big houses get away with paying very little for girls since it's so 'prestigious' to walk for them? Still, a lot of those girls walking don't need the "walked for Dolce" on their resume anymore, so what else is there in it for them?

^Is there a thread where we could discuss this? because I am vurrry curious as well. I really don't know how that process works.

Dolce would've been better with some KK, Isabeli and Bianca instead of say Egle, Mount, Irina K, Freja, etc.

Dolce did have Marija V. Which was suchhhhh a pleasant surprise.

There's a thread here for discussion about how much models are paid.

 

[Truman]

and is there a thread about news faces?

 

[Bamhutt]

^not as far as I'm aware, but there is: "Who will sweep up the S/S 2011 shows", "Predict style.com's top 10 newcomers" and this thread. Also the "Poloroid" thread. Maybe we need a thread specifically for newcomers?

 

[*Bianca*]

"Predict style.com's top 10 newcomers"

that thread is actually titled Top 10 New Faces S/S 11
so I think it's safe to assume that newcomer talk (for this show season) can also be discussed in there.

 

[Style Savvy]

Glad to see Erin Wasson, Laetitia and Natalia on Cavalli!

 

[agee]

You know who I missed terribly at Dolce, you would think it would be Maryna, but it was Kim Noorda.

 

[Mr-Dale]

Just a quick question: does Paris still not allow girls under 16 to walk? If so, that means our big winner of the season Daphne G won't walk. Who will replace her as the go-to new girl? Is Arizona fully available?

 

[Style Savvy]

Daphne is already 16. She said it on a backstage video posted on her thread.

 

[*Bianca*]

I don't think they have ever fully banned under 16 year olds. There are restrictions though.

They can't work after 8pm on weekdays and on Saturday. They can't work at all on Sundays.

 

[penny609]

^Yes, as far as I know we still have these rules, a model under 16 can walk but under some specific conditions (the ones you listed and I think a few other guidelines have to be respected as well). So, most girls under 16 don't walk Paris, except the ones that can really benefit from it... which could be Daphne's case I guess.

 

[*Bianca*]

^Yes, and, if I remember correctly, the agency must have a specific license regarding children (which means they sometimes go through a different agency).

 

[Truman]

^Yes, and, if I remember correctly, the agency must have a specific license regarding children (which means they sometimes go through a different agency).

you r totally right! Since I know SUCCESS and CITY have that license. I m sure IMG, Women, Viva, Silent, Next and Nathalie also have their ways to take the girl while being under 16!

 

[Riseup]

The established girl that's having an amazing season is Karmen Pedaru!!!

 

[fer19dog]

She really is and I dont get her appeal at all.

 

[xerq]

lol Karmen has been having an amazing season since FW09
