Models Switching Agencies

[penny609]

and agent of Women told me that Women Direct have more commercial and editorial girls
i guess that's the difference...

Yes, basically that's it. They also seem to use it to launch girls with Women Direct who might not be as ready as the ones they put at Women. It also a good way not to overload Women's board and keep it selective...

As for the connections between Women and Supreme, sure they exist as parts of the same network. But they remain two different brands with their own aesthetic. And knowing Paul's taste for venture and extremely creative mind, we should always expect some possible surprises for the future

Someone explained the Women & Women direct relationship perfectly earlier in the thread...I'll see if i can find it.

img to wilhelmina?

 

[penny609]

First of all she left AL Models (along with her sister Grazhyna) and leaving them she also left IMG.

Then Wilhelmina is not the old Wilhelmina any longer. They have a revamped editorial team and the results of girls like Marike or Keke are more than excellent so... even if I think IMG would have done really well for them, Wilhelmina can do as much.

 

[Miss-V]

just wondering, do agencies get angry if you leave to go to another? what would you do in that situation?

 

[FRANCY ITALY]

Morwenna Cobbold : Tess -> Premier, London
Veranika Antsipava : IMG -> Supreme
Damaris Lewis : WN -> Angels Paris
Dree Hemingway : Ford -> Elite Paris

Meow.
I was just surprised. Don't put words in my mouth saying I think they suck or something. :\

Hmm is Elite USA and Elite Europe trying to mend relationships, lots of the top Elite US girls are heading to Elite (Hannah, and now Dreee)

 

[*Bianca*]

Seems that way. Elite Paris girls are also signing with Elite NY.

No worries It's just that the way you put it was leaving room for people to think Wilhelmina was crappy not that you especially mean it this way. I just wanted to clear up the fact there is a huge evolution at this agency and that Irena's switch hasn't much to do with the management one agency or the other provided her with
