Models Switching Agencies

[foreverandnone]

What. ?

Its so strange they would drop Amanda Laine, I mean granted she wasn't a money making machine, but I mean minus a few girls, it seems the agency is mostly image (minus Behati, Rachel, etc as mentioned earlier, and Suvi/Iris who is both). Plus what kind of precedent are they making if they drop their contest "find" 2-3 seasons later (but now that I think about it they aren't even doing that anymore so that's irrelevant), she wasn't even doing badly (shot VI with Meisel, did good shows).. weird.

Maybe she had beef with MCB and MCB pushed her out .. that is all I can think of haha

maybe DNA poached her

DNA seems like an agency more likely to be poached than one who poaches.

I don't know more than anything mentioned on this page, but to me it's mostly speculation and I guess the reason of that change has more to do with Elmer Olsen than anything else. Maybe my own speculation on it but it seems more likely to be something like that to me.

 

[penny609]

^ and I don't mean it in any particular way. There are a few possibilties... if Supreme simply dropped her, DNA is a logical choice for Elmer Olsen as most of their major girls are signed there. But it's just one option, again.

absolutly.Each agencies has their own policies about that, and DNA is definitly in the few in NY who are always 100% clean about their way to get girls to them.

But in this case, i dont see any reason why Supreme would drop her, big money maker or not, an agency will always prefer the girl to bring even small money to them than to bring even small money to another agency...

Like Penny points it, the reason is probably to find more to Elmer Olsen side than anywhere else.

 

[foreverandnone]

Im surprised by DNA though. I can only see her on the Supreme board. Her look embodies Supreme tbh

*shrug* oh well

Charlotte Hoyer: IMG NY -> NEXT NY
Charlotte Hoyer: IMG London -> Models 1

Even if 2PM has ties to Models 1, wouldn't it be better to switch to Next worldwide? It's weird to have different agencies in every city like Agnete (Next/Ford/Women) when they're not partner agencies but rather competing networks. I guess we'll see where Charlotte ends up in Paris and Milan...

 

[nijuyanah]

^ Agreed. It would be a better choice for Charlotte (not only because I think she actually fits them pretty well, but also look at Karlie or Imogen - they defenitely did very well with Next worldwide) But yeah, let's wait and see

At least I'm happy for Amanda, ending up at DNA!

Is someone going to do an inventory at TRUMP, they just relaunched their website, but I don't really follow their agency that much, I just noticed...

Elena Lomkova - Trump --> ??? (rumour is she quit modeling)

Edythe Hughes - Elite NY --> Trump

 

[imagensfashions]

Martha Streck : Ten Model -> Zero Eleven

 

[Chatoyant]

Charlotte Hoyer: IMG NY -> NEXT NY
Charlotte Hoyer: IMG London -> Models 1

Pernille Møller switched mother agencies a while ago and has made the same moves as Charlotte...

I'm not sure how much Next can do for them, but they're in a very different situation compared to Agnete and I don't think they had any obligations towards IMG (contractually or otherwise)... can't blame them for leaving. Just think it's stupid of 2PM if they're killing other agency relations for some kind of semi-exclusive collaboration with Next...

Jessiann Gravel Beland : Ford NY ---> IMG NY

 

[modela]

its strange to see how next is becoming the to-go for agency lately , why is that?

besides having the nicest bookers ever it seems like they are gaining momentum and any model would be excited to end upthere as of late

It is really not the way i see the things...but i wont comment more in details

Same here. They have good bookers for sure but I think they are not the only ones to have good bookers and then I don't see this as the main reason. They're doing good work for their girls but not truly better than anyone else etc. It's more their current "strategy" that explains the move... but it's another story B)

 

[foreverandnone]

well its just from what I seen, the friendliest bunch of people which would most certainly lure girls to their agency


this sounds like some predator/prey thing

 

[model_mom]

Next scouts the money makers at other agencies then poaches some of them...so most of the girls were on the way up to begin with. Most of the time they develope them onto bigger and better things....but just like all agencies they can't make them all stars for various reasons. You always hear the success stories but there are hundreds of girls that have passed through their doors without achieving much besides ending up in debt to the agency.
