Models Switching Agencies

[woemwoem]

What about girls from Women Direct? Any movement to Ford? Alla, Bregje, Alana?

I would give this whole tradeoff some months to settle. The sites are completely inaccurate. There are girls featured on both sites... Chrishell is on both the Ford site and the Supreme site. And a lot of the girls that have allegedly left Supreme for Ford, are still up on the Supreme site! I mean, Meghan Collison and Suvi are still up on the site, and they have been with Next for months now!

BTW, Lakshmi does not belong on the Supreme board. She should be with WOMEN.

And Alla should move from women-direct to supreme.

These shakeups are crazy...and if Chanel, Jacq & Lakshmi will indeed move to Supreme..it's kinda sad..those girls are loyal to their agents I guess in the 1st place, majority of former Ford agents shouldn't have been fired....now it's war...can't wait for S/S11

Lakshmi simply followed her agent (Caroline) to Supreme

Yep. It certainly doesn't mean anything if a model is still on her original agency's site lol: @ Suvi & Meghan still being there) - but if she's been added to a new site, that obviously says something...

Ok, can someone try to explain to me the rationale of this switch. To me it seems like Supreme is becoming Ford and Ford is becoming Supreme. Paul rowland seems to be a guy focused on HF, which we all know makes NO MONEY whatsoever. What makes the people at FORD think this would be beneficial to them. Wouldn't they be loosing money by going a more HF route, which seems to me is the route Paul Rowland is trying to go. I mean can you really see Hanne with a Victoria Secret contract?

The rationale is simply that this is a business. Paul Rowland must have been offered a great amount of money for him to leave his position. And from there the madness starts...
It is not necessarily that you can't make money as a high fashion model, but Supreme has always been centered around edgy beauty and although there is work for Vogue girls like Daiane, Hanne and Meghan, the money is very limited. I think it will be a whole different ball game with Paul Rowland & co at Ford because it's a different company with different goals. Think: influential high fashion agent working with models who have the potential to make money.

It seems like Chanel, Lakshmi & Chrishell are really leaving Ford the finally outcome might just be a switchup of girls...meaning Supreme models going to Ford vice versa..oh well, every action has its own consequences

I think/hope Supreme goes through a little rebranding. I've always felt that their aesthetic was far too trendy to last, even though I always like their girls. Basically it's just their website that annoys me

 

[CharlottefromCA]

^^ ok so its not just me..

I hope they change the website as well.

Maxine Schiff: Ford -> Supreme NY

 

[nijuyanah]

To be quite honest, I'm ready for Iris to take the leap and join one of the bigger agencies. I'd love to see her @ Women or IMG. Suxh a powerful girl deserves powerful representation. Not that the "new" agencies aren't powerful but Iris has longevity and I think her career is far too mature for this whole switcheroo ordeal.

Couldn't agree more!
Actually, Iris is the only reason I really care about all that Supreme//Ford//Women//whatever model & agent "trade"... I'm eagerly waiting to see where she goes.

 

[wannabemodelbook]

Maxine Schiff Next-> Ford-> Supreme

 

[1FashionVictim]

I hope Ford becomes what Supreme was before it went all indie.

 

[xerq]

lol WOMEN seems to be the only one benefiting from this whole thing so far.

Behati Prinsloo: Supreme -> Women

 

[la.vie.in.mode]

i think that's good for her

From fashionista.com

A source tells us Chanel Iman has indeed left Ford to follow her booker, Paulo, to Supreme. This makes sense, as veteran agents aren’t easily going to let the clients they’ve nurtured (and oftentimes, discovered) be handed over to other agents.

Jacquelyn Jablonski, however, is staying at Ford for the time being. Jablonski signed with Ford - more

 

[mainstay]

Alla Kostromicheva: Women Direct -> Supreme
Bregje Heinen: Women Direct -> Supreme
Ieva Laguna: Women Direct -> Supreme
Irina Vodolozova: Women Direct -> Supreme

Jacquelyn Jablonski: Ford -> Supreme
Lakshmi Menon: Ford -> Supreme
Chrishell Stubbs: Ford -> Supreme
"Kel": Ford -> Supreme

Looks like they're re-stocking and shifting in-house, too. Smart move!
