Share with us... Your Best & Worst Collections of Haute Couture F/W 2025.26
models.comThe most directional show in Milan saw a big moment for Women Milan which landed 13 of their beauties on the Prada runway led by that sensational new face Natalia Chabanenko who opened and closed the lace laden proceedings. With Alana, Alyona, Amanda, Daiane, Georgina, Hanne, Isabeli, Jourdan, Kasia, Natasha, Suvi and Vlada reeling out look after look , it certainly cemented Women Milano’s status as a star-making destination!
Well someone on here wrote that he only hangs out with a booker from IMG, Women and DNA...it's very selective but those agencies do have some of the best girls. But it doesn't mean other agencies don't have a few gems either...
It was pretty telling that the "IT" girl of the season, Karlie Kloss was not at Prada and coincidentally she is not at any of those agencies. It speaks volumes...
Many "It" girls never make it into Prada. Caroline Trentini, Heather Marks, and Natasha Poly up until recently have never been in a Prada show before. I don't think that's anything to go by...
But Prada shows still feature 'exlusives' from other agencies.
2 seasons ago, Cate Chant exclusive with Prada is with New York Models. Sara Blomqvist is with DNA. And theres no doubt that the quality of girls at Women and IMG is superior to other agencies simply because they can attract and keep the best girls.
Not that i'm denying that these claims aren't possible.
But you're pitting it against Karlie's agency affliliation. Could it be simply that Miuccia does not feel she is right for Prada? Her opinion, your opinion, and my opinion can be completely different and that's why it's all subjective. Heather Marks is with Women and I feel that Karlie's career now could be compared to Heather's career when she started. If I remember correctly, Heather was on every single important runway and was the bride at several couture shows her first season. Sure she may have been overshadowed by Gemma, but isn't Karlie being overshadowed by Ali Stephens?
All i'm trying to say is that I don't think that Karlie isn't in Prada simply because of her agency.
This weekend, we received an official statement from IMG about the Russel Marsh rumor. Here's what it said:
"The allegation that Prada or Miu Miu have utilized models managed by IMG based on anything more than their talent is ridiculous and flatly untrue. We have the privilege of representing many of the most beautiful and sought after women in the industry and we are outraged that those model's hard work is being disparaged."
We welcome other feedback (and got a ton of it the past few days), but we can vouch for this: IMG is right, their models do work incredibly hard.
To say it simply, some very big agencies have enough power to gently ask to a client close from them, not to book some girls from other agencies...
lagerfeld, chanel, St laurent...no access for any top girls if they are not from "some" agencies....
that's what was posted in Egle Tvirbutaite thread (she is from Major)
