Model Casting S/S 16

[gossiping]

it seems casting directors have a preference for girls with long faces in milan this season..i can't tell them apart

Pedjag posted on IG a picture with Natasha in a elevator. 20 min later posted another one with the Versace Logo "showtime"

I hope she either closed or open the show!

For instance, Liniesy is right now the number one walker with 34 shows.
The redhead with the most shows is Magdalena Jasek with 19 shows.
Between them are nine models of colour.

Fourteen models with red hair have walked during fashion week SS16 so far. including Karen Elson who is a super and Julia Hafstrom who I'm not sure what her hair actually is. Many of them walking as few as 1-4 shows.
There has been 122 booked models of colour during fashion week SS16 so far.
And there have been unusually many redheads the last few seasons.

Again, I still think models of colour have a bigger problem and represent a bigger number of cultures (mostly african and asian this season, a few from south america), but that doesen't make the other discrimination any better.

I can't believe you're comparing WOC to redheads. Like... wow.

Finally an exciting cast, although Gigi and Stella looked very out of place in my opinion.
Otherwise great, I was bored to tears by this season so far.

 

[Memnon77]

Looks like a whole army at this show.

 

[Memnon77]

Versace, I mean.

 

[dcmaike]

Ok Versace was great but I think it was a bad idea to let Gigi walk after Raquel, it made her walk looking even worse. She didn't fit in there at all...

I can't believe you're comparing WOC to redheads. Like... wow.

Like I tried to make clear, I don't think it's the same!
My point was only that some groups of models also face discrimination, like redheads and models with dark eyes, due to the ridiculous idea that caucasian beauty is better in some way. And that if some discrimination is getting better, it is still a good thing even if there are some other types of discrimination that is worse like that of models of colour!
And the comparison was only to point out the fact that redheads for instance in fact are discriminated against, even though in retrospect it would have been better to compare them to white models to avoid the confusion and offence.
I mean absolutely no disrespect or offence!

 

[GreyVetiver]

Why do you cast Stella Maxwell and Gigi when you could have Kate G and Sophia Ahrens?! Smh

 

[thatsfierce]

I don't care Gigi and Stella; Raquel, MCB, Natasha beat them!!!! What a great cast (the other two are the exception, of course). I'm glad Imaan walked the show too, she looked STUNNING.
