unfortunately seems like she's falling into that "too pretty" trap
Or maybe the "I'm too VS" trap. I feel like the girls who did VS this year are, for the most part, getting a thrashing this fashion week. I'm trying to come up with some exceptions but can't really think of any. Kate Grigoreva should have done a lot better given how well she did last season, but is noticeably absent from most of the blue chip shows. Is Irina Sharipova even doing fashion week? Maybe Yumi is holding out alright, but she was always such an odd choice for VS anyway so it's easy to forget that she was ever a part of that mess.
While Taylor is pretty, there are tons of really pretty girls doing well right now. Julia Bergshoeff and Maartje Verhoef are completely and jaw-droppingly stunning. I think the problem is more that Taylor's
type of pretty is a little more "commercial pretty," and it might be becoming increasingly associated with a "commercial pretty" now that she is doing more VS work.
It could also be a personality thing. Going by her old Tumblr, comments on Instagram, and VS preview show video, Taylor can present a pretty annoying and entitled persona. Maybe it rubbed some casting directors the wrong way?
All that said, there's a lot of Milan and Paris left to go. Maybe her Versace connection will work some magic? Who knows.
