I've noticed in recent times that Marilyn has no problem with getting a girl to the top, but they haven't produced many models with high fashion longevity. I can only think of Caroline Trentini, who is now with Women. R'el Dade and Taylor Kraemer were bright stars for the S/S 2010 shows but this past season they weren't booking the same kind of shows. I really hope I'm wrong but Lindsey Wixson seems very hyped up and that often doesn't result in a long lasting career. We'll see what they can do with Eniko, Constance, and Liu because they seem to have a lot going for them.
Caroline Trentini and Lily Dondaldson were both developed from the ground up by the team at Marilyn, both leaving to IMG. Caroline has now moved to Women.
Taylor Kraemer has size 12 feet and isn't "worth it" for designers to custom make shoes to have her walk in their shows, hence her lack of runway appeal thus lack of editorial and campaign appearances. As for R'el, my impression was that she wasn't long for the high fashion modelling world, attitude wise. Gorgeous girl but far too aloof and uninterested to make anyone ELSE interested in her.
You can't discount Eniko, Liu Wen and Constance.. not to mention Adriana Lima, Ai Tominaga, Angelika, Anya K, Arlenis, Brooklyn Decker, Caroline Ribiero, Cinta Dicker, Emanuela De Paula, Erin Heatheron, Hanna Rundlof, Iekeleine, Irina Lazareneau, Lindsay Wixon, Julia Dunstall, Masha Novoselova and Tiiu. Chantal, Bo, Gwen, Josefin, Kristina, Renata, Simona, Tetyana and Yulia are all very promising new faces..
