Models Switching Agencies

[MaraPiovani]

what about Mc2? Do you have a link I'd like to read.

Victoria's Secret reportedly continued to work with a modeling agency after it was accused of supplying underage girls to Jeffrey Epstein

Apparenly the directof of a French modeling agency is linked to Jeffrey Epstein. He denied but there is a case open. It is the (former?) director of Karin Model Agency

Jean Luc Brunel has been in trouble before. Can’t remember whether the last time had to do with drugs or exploitation of young girls. Or both.

This seems to be what you're referring to?
Jean-Luc Brunel: three former models say they were sexually assaulted by Jeffrey Epstein friend

^Reading this is so disturbing. I can't believe mother agencies from abroad also knew about Brunel and still flew their models to Paris to meet him ...
So disgusting. Those agencies should also be prosecuted for allowing this

Alicia Burke (LOL i guess the articles were true and she didn’t want the info leaked early ), Alana Zimmer, Matthew Noszka switched to Elite NYC.

 

[Armani]

This may not be a lead... but Giselle Norman, Felice Noordhoff, Emm Arruda, Julia Stegner, Regan Kemper and Jena Goldsack are now following Elite NYC’s Instagram.

UPDATE: Felice, Julia and Jena represented by Elite NYC

UPDATE: Iselin Steiro now following Elite NYC

Julia van Os has recently followed Julia Haart, Elite NYC and IMG Models, so I don’t know much of what’s going on.

Josefine Lynderup seems to have followed the account a while back - so I doubt it has anything to do with the switches.

Fei Fei Sun has Elite NYC in her IG bio now Big switch!

Anna de Rijk: Wilhelmina NY -> DNA. Good switch. I wonder what they'll do for her career.

Eftagine Fevilien has now just put Elite NYC in her bio as well. And Steph Smith!

 

[Phannavongsar]

Felice left also

 

[Armani]

Eftagine was officially announced just now.

I wonder if they’ll announce one more model today... they seem to be announcing in spurts of three.

Julia Stegner now with Elite NYC

^ very sad for Women. Almost all (or maybe all, but not announced yet) of the big names have switched. Will they just end up combining with Women 360 and/or Supreme?

 

[Armani]

Fei Fei officially confirmed to be switching to Elite NYC.

I believe Elite’s counterargument to the lawsuit, seems a lot more plausible than Women’s argument - and the switches seem to be proving that. Crazy that W360 and Supreme girls (Alicia Burke & Sadie Newman) are switching too.

Elite NYC is in Jena Goldsack’s Instagram bio.

Anja Leuenberger: Elite NYC --> New York Model Management

 

[Armani]

Joline Braun: Supreme NY -> Elite NYC. Another Supreme switch, I need to start taking a closer look and dissecting the Supreme models Women Management style

 

[woemwoem]

Even with all the defections, Women still has a pretty strong roster and they have a strong network of sister agencies throughout the world, so in time they'll replenish their board. Unless Elite NYC has established some partner agencies, the girls they've poached from Women will still be their only stars a year, two years, three years from now. Their pipeline of new models has been nil for years.

 

[modelfanamber]

I still find it very confusing how Women/Supreme/Society in NY are part of the Elite Worldwide umbrella, but Elite NY is not.

If Women was/is having so many problems, why does Society seem to be okay? Is it all about the bookers and how their individual agencies are run?

 

[marsnoop2]

Natasha Poly is at Elite too, at this point all they need is Isabeli and Women is essentially done.

 

[Armani]

I wonder if Isabeli, Jourdan, Kasia or Carmen will switch.
