Model Casting S/S 2019

[Riseup]

Vanessa Axente showing up at Molly Goddard in London, what a weird choice for a "comeback".

 

[TheoG]

^ Odd but she was in good company with Edie & Adwoa. And not to mention Molly Goddard is London's "it girl"

 

[Vinciano]

Natalia opening JW Anderson has been the highlight so far. Only new-ish girl I've noticed this season. What a face!

Since nobody is talking male models guess I'll start. BOSS Men's was really weird for me as the cast (Peter Dupont, Kim Jones close friend, Sakua Kambong, also Kim Jones close friend, Luc Defont, Kim Jones close friend, Serge Sergeev, opened Louis Vuitton by Kim Jones and Anton Jaeger, closed Louis Vuitton by Kim Jones) was more of Shelley Durkan than Michelle Lee. While Michelle regulars were there (Oscar Kindelan, Callum Stoddart, Eli Epperson, Finnlay Davis, Quintin van Konkelenberg carried over from Valentino), the other new casts (Romaine, Noah Servi, Oumar Diouf all walked Dior by Kim Jones) overshadowed Michelle's DNA and made it very very Shelley.

For CK205W39NYC, the only somewhat new ones were Noah Servi, Justin Holman and the Prada carry-overs (also Prada Linea Rossa campaign holders) Daan Duez and Park Tae Min. Noah Servi again from Dior. Justin Holman and Kai Bomholtz look very similar and was casted together first in Feng Chen Wang by Arianna Pradarelli. Kai Bomholtz was pretty much guaranteed for this show as he walked Raf Simons, Saint Laurent, sacai and Ann Demeulemeester. All other male models are CK contract bound models with a few exceptions (Erik van Gils, he didn't do Paris Raf Simons so Ashley gave him this Raf show?) What baffles me is the absence of Jose-Luis Lucero (appeared for Coach but no longer for Raf/CK) and Mathieu Simoneau (CK mainline campaign and CK205 Prefall Lookbook but was given the Prada, Ann Demeulemeester, Balmain, Virgil LV). Dominic Augustin was also missing despite walking for Prada and given the CK Jeans campaign.

I'm gonna guess the majority of the top girls are Burberry exclusives?

JW always has a stunning and fresh cast, which I love. The opener was a standout.

Hyun Ji showing up at literally all the Brokaw shows so far makes me so happy!

Where's Adut? Burberry exclusive? We all know tisci loves an exclusive. I can see Leila, Vitto, Faretta, Lexi, Mica and Greta all doing the show exclusively.

Most of the top girls such as Vitto, Kiki and so on now skip London. Only new faces usually walk and only for a few shows (J.W. Anderson, Mary K, Simone Rocha). I believe that all the girls missing mentioned will walk for Burberry but it's not even necessary that they are exclusives, cause they probably wouldn't have walked for any other show anyway.

 

[Sensation]

Adut, Faretta, Rianne, Kris were at Victoria Beckham

 

[Valentine27]

Good cast at Victoria Beckham. Lovely to see Rosanna Georgiou close the show.

 

[lilgruner]

Loved the casting at VB!

 

[Vitamine W]

Good cast at Victoria Beckham. Lovely to see Rosanna Georgiou close the show.

Very well curated cast at VB, probably my favorite of the season sofar. Seeing Ros was a bonus indeed, I have always loved that greek face of hers. Such an underrated stunner.

Any idea on Burberry's casting director?

Any idea on Burberry's casting director?

Someone on the forum said it could be Adam Hindle

You're right. I saw him in Inside the Lift

 

[Riseup]

Newface Annibelis Baez is slaying London.

 

[SpeakThatJDunn]

Supermodels at Burberry that i spotted: Natalia Vodianova, Stella Tennant, Irina Shayk, Lily Donaldson, Mariacarla Boscono, Jourdan Dunn, Cat McNeil and Freja Beha (closed).

I feel like i saw others, but the rotation was too heavy.

 

[Zposen]

I feel like it was too much for both men and women collection... too many looks...

Was Vitto there?

 

[apple]

I liked Burberry's casting from what I could see and by "from what I could see" I mean that the models had to walk so close to each other that I literally had no time to look at their faces if I wanted to focus on the clothes.
It was really unexpected to see Jess PW back, but I'm not complaining: I have always found her perfect for the runway. However, the biggest surprise was that Vitto did not walk! (or maybe it's just me and I didnt spot her) I think she must be busy shooting something.

I didn't see her! But she might have been, with no camera time.

 

[Marc10]

Lily and Jourdan were a nice touch. No Natasha?

It was pretty much what I expecte, a regular Givenchy cast.
