it's official now:
Caroline Trentini: IMG NY -> Women
girl needs to make up her mind

When she did not move when all the other models were doing the swappity do between Ford and Supreme, my guess was that she was going to Women, since I am not an insider on this particular matter, I didn't want to post idle speculation.

I just saw Iris in Women site 
Great!
Great!
Seems like all the top Women Direct and Supreme girls from Rowland's days are being moved to Women as a way to keep them from bolting. Honestly Supreme is now populated with the former top Ford girls, original Supreme girls that weren't doing especially well and Women/Women Direct girls who also didn't do especially well.
I don't know but I'm not getting a good vibe that his bodes especially well for Supreme or Women Direct...If the trend continues, I wouldn't be surprised to see Chanel, Lakshmi, and Jacquelyn J moved to Women soon.

Snejana followed her career-long manager, Louis Chabon, from DNA to Women (like Agyness, Karen Elson). The agency change means nothing to either of them except a change of agency name on books & comps (what I am saying is that the agency switch is 100% surface and not integral to her career). I'm sure Snejana not working has more to do with clients not wanting her / photographers no longer inspired by her / Louis being extremely selective with her jobs / her personal choice, then which agency she is with.
As for the reinvention happening at Supreme, I think it is too early to say for certain what the final outcome will be. They have a lot of girls in the mix now that can be pushed further. The bookers/agents from Ford were joined by the girls they worked hard to develop, like Flavia, Chanel, Jacquelyn, Lakshmi -- it only makes sense to follow the agents who have built your careers from the ground up. For a girl like Iris, it only made sense for her to take the next step to a major power player, like Women or IMG. Women is being very selective with who they are taking on in all of these changes. It would seem that New York Models is benefiting as well, making them an interesting player to watch in the whole switch up. Marlena Szoska was just building momentum at Ford, and they also landed Evelina Membetova who was released from her contract at Supreme during the shifts.
As for Women Direct, it was never meant to have ANY sort of high fashion/editorial appeal. Duncan Ord, the original agency director "wrongly" attempted to make more of a statement than was intended with girls like Alla and Dorothea (first season breakthroughs.) It was rumored Alla would switch to Supreme a season or two ago and Dorothea was relocated to Women. It is only natural that a girl like Alla or Ieva be moved to a more "fashion" agency. Women Direct was created to compete with the likes of Next Direct, Q, Ford Direct/Women, New York Models commercial/women board, MC2, etc, not to rule the runways and high fashion bible pages. I do know that the agency director/owners/scouts at Women were keen on keeping Supreme afloat so this restructuring makes sense-- bring the girls not succeeding at Women to Women standards though still viable models to beef up Supreme (Mina, Georgina, Sheila Marquez) and move girls with Fashion appeal from Women-Direct to Supreme (Ieva, Alla, Dioni, Irina, Lina).
I don't understand why some people are thinking Supreme is somehow worse off now that Paul and crew are gone. Agents can only do so much when it comes to pushing models, and Ford's bookers (now at Supreme) are just as capable of introducing models to clients as the former bookers. No matter how influential or powerful an agent is, if the client or photographer are not interested in a model, they cannot be forced upon them. Sure, Paul & his team had close ties to Givenchy (hence all the recent Supreme exclusives/campaigns) among other select clients and editorial powerhouses, but otherwise the general relations are the same. Caroline and her team (now at Supreme) have built the careers of many top models and will continue to do the same. Lakshmi, Jacquelyn, Chanel Iman, Agnete Hegelund... etc.
I'm excited to see Supreme update the model list, get back on their feet and make a few stars of their own..
