Model Casting S/S 13

Who's casting Saint Laurent anyway?

Still Barbara Nicoli

And who used to do Hedi's castings?

Erin Wasson wrote on twitter "Paris Fashion Week". Givenchy? I wish a stellar cast for tomorrow ;-)

Kudos to Jean Paul Gaultier for using so many black models. Overall I really liked the cast, most of the same faces as usual but they're always doing a good job with embodying his aesthetic.

Talking about the SUPERS i guess Givenchy, Saint Laurent Paris or Louis Vuitton can have some of them. I don't feel the same with the other designers, maybe also Chanel and Miu Miu.....

Will SLP have exclusives this season?

Yes and most of them are brand new!
They were actually also planning to show menswear but in the end they won't.
Maybe Hedi is overstrained since it's his first (?) womenswear line...

JPG had a great cast, and most other seasons, i normally don't care for JPG. but because i feel like this season has been so lackluster in castings, it was really refreshing to see a good mix of new rising stars (franzi mueller, ophelie rupp, chrystal copland), established girls (joan, karlie, liu, jourdan), to "experienced" gals like hannelore, yasmin, stam, and JPG fixtures like sessilee, alana, etc.

he's loyal and doesn't follow current trends in castings, and i respect him for that (his designs are another story ).

Hoping for a real strong cast at Givenchy tomorrow. I was disappointed with their cast last year, but they have done well at times in the past. Otherwise, we'll only have LV to look forward to in terms of potentially exciting cast. Chanel is typically just a sea of random models. I don't see YSL going with any kind of stunt casting and risking overshadowing the designer debut.

 

[anlabe32]

Iselin is going to be at YSL, so maybe that's a sign there will be more icons?
And yes, I was very disappointed with Givenchy and LV last season, hopefully they will rev it up.

JPG was fantastic in terms of casting. Great mix of generations, types, races but still true to the JPG aesthetics. A casting job very well done.

YSL or SLP as we have to say these days will be flooded with new faces as well im afraid. Its a little late in the season traditionally to tickle my senses with more newbies but Hedi is Hedi so I guess Im wrong and he's right. There's more or less going to be a coolness casting battle between Givenchy and SLP, mark my words. Im exhausted already.

 

[LucaNatashaFan]

Chanel is typically just a sea of random models.

Yes most of the times but for S/S 2011 there were Stella Tennant, Karolina Kurkova, Carmen Kass, Inès de la Fressange, Isabeli Fontana, Angela Lindvall, Coco Rocha, Jacquetta Wheeler, Erin Wasson and some others.
It happens few times but it's possible one day he'll do again a casting like that B)

 

[anlabe32]

I'm having a hard time recognizing the Givenchy girls so far...

 

[MyNameIs]

Yeah, not the kind of cast I was hoping for at Givenchy, but very much in line with last season so I can't say I'm surprised.

It's getting better already.

I liked Hedvig Palm, but it's so weird seeing her book every show, Givenchy? Really? REALLY?

I agree, she's not very Givenchy.
I really enjoyed Othilia and Mackenzie at Givenchy, but overall it was kind of disappointing. Only 37 looks? I remember when there were numbers close to 50

 

[Riseup]

To me it feels so a la Alexander Wang this season, meaning that they all fit the collection pretty well but stiil comes out looking very very underwhelming.

 

[Fiercification]

^ It was incredibly predictable and I disliked how the black models were all paraded out one after another. Why is Tisci so adverse to having Asian models in his show nowdays as well (since S/S 2012 at least)?

 

[MyNameIs]

I was most surprised at how new the whole cast was. I think Joan wast the only model who has more than like 3 years under her belt. Everyone else was new generation.

 

[LucaNatashaFan]

Givenchy cast was all about new girls... i was expecting a super cast but it wasn't at the end...
We still have Saint Laurent and Louis Vuitton.
I also hope to see Natalia Vodianova tomorrow at Stella McCartney, AN ICON
