Maybe IMG wants to compete with Elite for "who's going to have the blankest show package of the season". 
Seriously this doesn't get me very excited about this upcoming season. All I see is new faces. I know most of them but many don't and this doesn't smell like long careers.
I'm glad to see Dovile has a card (let's see what it really means then) and NYMM did a good effort of creativity without overplaying, visually their cards are my favorites.
My favorite package is RE:QUEST's and it's not ironic even if it's easier to be flawless when it's only two models.

Paul Rowland is a super agent but he really needs to stop using fashion week showcards as vanity projects. His concepts for the cards going back to his days at Supreme are incredibly self-consciously arty to the point of being self-indulgent. It's like he's saying "Look at me, I'm an artist, not just a model agent. Aren't' I cool?"
This season's showcards and concept is just mediocre and uninspired. Beach shot polaroids? That's undergraduate art school stuff.

^True, it looks pretty strong at first sight. But not sure if really stronger than any other of the same level.
Three interesting points strike me when I look at their package, though.
1. I see Georgia Hilmer is back somehow and I wonder if that's a regular attempt to put her back on tracks ending in a tedious season or if something real will happen.
2. Interesting to see if something changes for Nimue.
3. Ehren. I don't care about hair length and all the hype around her hairdo but saw some pictures where her expressions and body language managed to impress me.
About Paul Rowland and his package... To be true I liked this one more than the previous two since he is at Ford. Of course it smells old-school Supreme and self-indulgence all the way. But if I have to be sincere, if I were him I would do the same. I would have fun where it's still possible to have fun in this business and obviously show card projects are something he keeps enjoying.
Looking at other packages freshly released, I'm happy One kept its direction and managed to built themselves a distinctive image. The models inside the pack are not my cup of tea for most of them thought it's nice to see Fanny got a showcard. Women Direct is Women Direct, nothing fancy but well done classical cards (same about Next, on the aesthetic side). Wilhemina's are more creative for sure, but so many new faces... Same about Supreme's. Gorgeous to look at but too many newbies that I can't imagine doing that well provided the competition is so tough nowadays.
