Elite. It hasn't had the mutual support and benefit of a consistent sister agency in NYC like IMG until recently with the creation of Society. IMG Paris is a terrific agency by Elite Paris has found and developed so many top models and landed their girls in countless top runways and magazines. Oui is a good agency but really isn't in the mix for best agency in Paris. I would rank Women Paris and Next Paris ahead of Oui.
If a model would like to change agencies, can she herself contact other agencies to meet? the mother agent has no follow thru and rarely returns calls. Would like to drop mother agent but afraid they are needed to set up meetings. Would this violate the models contract or just put her in jeopardy if the agency she is signed to found out?

You can drop any agency you're with if they're not doing their job, granted you don't have a binding agreement or it has expired. You can go into agencies yourself, but agencies are not always easy to get appointments with (especially the good ones). Also a good mother agent has good relationship with certain agencies and can get a girl meetings one on one, none of that open call cattle thing where there are 50 other girls meeting the same agent.
My suggestion is to find a new mother agent in your area first.
Could someone post which ny agencies link with which paris agencies? Obviously img, next, women link to their paris counterpart and Society with Elite, but who does, Ford, Nymm, DNA and Elite us link up with?

I'm pretty sure Ford has no official ties with Paris Elite any longer. The Ford girls with Paris Elite have been with them from the days when P Rowland was still at Ford and before Paris Elite started Society in NY and took so many of Ford's girls. Will be interesting to see where Kate Goodling and Lexi Boling land in Paris. Might give a clue as to whom Ford is aligning with there.
Also, DNA seems to do quite a bit of swapping with Nathalie now as well as with Viva. Marilyn NY apparently is allied with Ford Europe now.
I'm a bit curious as to the difference between an exclusive for a show in the territory and a worldwide exclusive. How hard it is for girls to get these and do the designers only use new faces for these exclusives? It just seems like these exclusives can be rather unpredictable. Cant imagine how the agencies don't kill each other to get them, if a girl books one and cant go on for other shows. If anyone could explain this please!
City exclusives usually do not walk other shows but in many cases especially in Paris and Milan some will walk another prestige show which makes them a semi-exclusive. i.e. Scoop's strategy for Juliane Gruner and Kirstin Liljegren.
Girls that are up for a worldwide exclusive are the ones making their debut there and they will not be walking any other shows in other cities.
For models of high caliber to appear at Prada or Miu Miu only that would be a special request.

No one I can think of at the moment but then again Ford Europe isn't brimming with top girls that NYC agencies are clamoring for, even an agency as downtrodden as Marilyn is these days.

Thanks for the info. I'm curious, I have not seen any world wide exclusives this show season. Unless I'm wrong. I thought every major designer had at least one world wide exclusive no?
Also, do the city exclusives, worldwide exclusives, and semi exclusives pay better than average? I'm assuming worldwide exclusive being a more lucrative booking.
That's difficult to say, considering there are so many. I would say Success in Paris and I Love Milan. In London I'm not too sure who is strongest for men?
Guys, does any of you know anything about YES RIGHT modeling agency from London? They don't have much info (not even an address) on their website, only on their facebook page. There aren't many models either, but they say they are newly opened agency. Do you think it's worth going on the casting?

They have a few strong new guys, but their board is SO LOADED, there are like 500 guys, it's pretty insane. I honestly think they would benefit by cutting out more than half of those guys and keeping the real stars.
