Models that reside in their home town and not in a fashion capital city

[Mariann]

Does anyone know where Agyness Deyn lives, she's originally from Manchester in the UK, I wonder if she still lives there?

Freja doesn't live in Denmark anymore. She currently resides in Brooklyn, NY. And it's rumored she even applied for a Green Card.

ETA: also Snejana lives in Kyiv (or Kiev) with her hubby, no?

Yepp, that's correct. She was planning on moving to Paris back in 2010, even found an apartment I believe, but then she met her now husband and decided to remain in Kiev.

How is it possible to be a top model and reside somewhere other than NY, Paris, London or Milan? They must have to fly ALOT. I would rather just be close.

if you need a help...

wait, huh? I don't get you lol

Honestly any model can do it. You got the likes of Miranda living in LA and Lindsey Wixson living in Kansas and all these other models who live in their home towns. It doesn't matter if a model resides in a fashion capital cause they will still have to travel to the other capitals when they get work. Top end models make a lot of money for the jobs they get but there isn't enough work for everyday. I am hearing models such as Isabeli Fontana work like 4 times a month or something.

Tanya Dziahileva in San Francisco

Omg this is creepy of me but I need to meet her around sometime! I thought I as walking in downtown sf one time and I saw her with her mom both long blonde hair and tall. I'm not sure though, can anyone confirm she lives in SF besides her twitter?

That's exactly what I wanted to ask..

I think it only works with very well-developed models then, cause they don't need to go to castings.

Any info/idea on why Tanya chose San-Francisco as the place of her permanent residence? Husband/boyfriend living there?

The Queen Giselle Bundchen live in Boston,which i dont consider a "Fashion City"

 

[CharlottefromCA]

well it shouldn't be to hard for Giselle since she is a direct booking type.. but some of the girls listed in this thread I do find interesting.. such as Tanya D in SF. random. but interesting haha

^ I could be wrong but I don't think Tanya lives in SF anymore. When she was living there she wasn't really doing any modeling anyway.

For a top model.. totally possible. Most of their jobs would be made up of direct bookings anyway, but flying is just a part of the job. Sasha lives in NY, obviously a fashion capital, and I remember in "Les Filles en Vogue" documentary she talked about how she had flown something like 168 times in 2008. It doesn't matter where you live.
For models in development or even some 'established' models... I don't think many can afford that luxury of living at home while still having a career unless they are still in school and just doing the show season and possibly campaign season. It would be too hard with all the castings..

Well, I'm pretty sure Tanya is a direct booking too.
