Model Casting S/S 15

[jacquelineo]

Again.. Boring cast. One model does not make the cast.

This season really has been a slap in the face of all the diversity protests in the last year.

Balenciaga was quite underwhelming. I don't think Sasha fit this particular collection at all & it was odd that they didn't have her open or close.

They should've just brought back Gisele or maybe have Raquel as their big surprise. I would've understood that a little more.

I agree. The girls of colour that are walking this season are all amazing but the casting is nowhere near where it should be.

Only one particular girl stood out look #15, other than that I was disappointed. Cool seeing Sasha though!

Irina walk makes me laugh, love seeing a girl who tries but she just needs to scale it back a little. The girl that closed looked like was programmed to turn the covers.

^ Irina's walk is fine.. she toned it down.

Vionnet had a good cast. I enjoyed it way more than Balenciaga!

This season is all about a 00's comeback! GEMMA, Sasha, Jessica, Natasha, Snejana, Lara, Mariacarla...

 

[Mr-Dale]

Snejana had a comeback this season? Where?

Anyway, it's a very confusing season. No consistency, everyone is just doing their own thing. And most of the girls that rake in the most shows honestly just function as filler girls. I wish everyone who tries to make a top ten newcomer list all the best. I couldn't name one.

Unless Paris gives us a big shake (which I don't see), I can see it like this:

Alexandra Elizabeth
Anine van Velzen
Dylan Xue
Elena Peter
Emely Montero
Julia Bergshoeff
Kendall Jenner
Lina Berg
Sabina Lobova
Vanessa Moody

Though Kendall Jenner might be swapped for Morta Kontrimaite or Roxy Kiscinska, depending on how media wants to play it.

 

[lanvinray]

^ So Ra Choi & Issah Lish deserve to be included, but I won't be surprised if they'd be switched up in favor of Kendall

That would just about be thee most pitiful top ten newcomer list I've ever seen. I do like Alexandra Elizabeth but none of these girls really stood out to me at all I didn't even know who any of them were I had to just google all of them :/ pretty sad season. Too many newcomers which is a bittersweet thing. It gives more girls the opportunity to break into the industry and walk shows but makes it harder for them to actually STAY in the industry and build lasting careers.

How could I forget So Ra Yes, she's definitely included. Might put her instead Emely Montero or Dylan Xue (there's only so much room for diversity ). I'm not sure about Issa, as many would not consider her a newcomer (she's been making the rounds for about 3 years now!).

I can't say I disagree with you... Girls like Anine and Morta just bore me to tears.

 

[HeatherAnne]

Wow, that newcomer list is pathetic indeed. Not only the quality of the girls and the fact that I had to google over 1/2 of them, but the fact that some of them barely appeared in Milan and London... and yet, yes, they are still on the runways more than most girls this season.

 

[Style Savvy]

What a boring season. Gemma and Lara at Prada is the only exciting thing so far.

Hoping Julia B will last for a couple years.

This has been one hell of a messy season. It just shows how little care there is. After all the talk and name calling, I can't understand why designers still continue to see it as an obligation (if they do it) instead of just accepting that beauty comes in all forms and is not just limited to a certain demographic. Enough is enough.

I guess it has to do by how little is expected of models these days. Looks being the number one priority and any trace of personality is hindered (I feel on this regard MOC bring a lot and they aren't even allowed to prove it).

Also, all that stunt casting brands are doing, bringing celebrities and has-beens, is getting tiresome. Stop lurking in the past and nurture future talent instead.

Wait, Amanda Wellsh was NOT at Gucci...? Sorry to back track. Baffling.

 

[lukechapman]

The Gucci cast was terrible... so many regular girls like Amanda Wellsh, Karmen Pedaru, Suvi Koponen and Kasia Struss were not cast.

It was one of the few brands left that i actually looked forward because you could almost guarantee they would be loyal and have at least some of their usual girls, but this season that clearly went out the window
