Who will sweep up at the S/S 2012 shows?

So happy to see the girls I love at BCBG
Emily ofcourse xx and Krystal , and Daga who was the other standout from cards but I don't know her personally but she jumped out at me from the show packages! I realy like her.. Has Kelly m walked yet?
Also glad to see Dempsey back xx:)
 
I think the fact neither mother agencies nor agencies from NY, Paris or wherever are losing money plays a big role in this rather ugly system. It has become a well-oiled industrial scheme where everyone seem to get his money back.

Therein lies the problem. Everything you mentioned can be solved if agencies have to take on a level of risk when they come up with a new product (a new model). In the current system, agencies only need to front up a little bit of money, with near guarantees of getting it back and then some in terms of return. It's practically loan sharking.

It's also why you see this assembly line of new faces. There's minimal risk to the agency if their model doesn't go anywhere. They could sign as many people as they can fit on their bulletin board. Meanwhile, none of the agencies want to be caught with their pants down when a new star is born, so they throw the widest nets they can into the ocean and hope to find one pearl among the fish. This system benefits everybody except for the most disenfranchised group (the models themselves).

The second you introduce more legitimate financial risks to the agency for mismanaging their models, then you'll see these agencies start to cut back and really try to find and push very specific faces. That's when you'll see models actually develop more lasting and legitimate careers because the agencies have more at stake if they are to fall by the wayside. However, short of models unionizing, this doesn't seem very likely. No one speaks for the girls, and agents and designers are allowed to do whatever they like.

Very well put and valid points. And that makes quite an obnoxious atmosphere for the models but also for anyone really passionate about these things. Seeing all these new faces over and over again who will get replaced in less time than you need to remember their names. And it's pretty true the situation isn't likely to change since nothing pushes agency to change their policy (why would they? after all). It's such a pity but they'll all tell you business is business etc. But if they'd put more efforts in really "making" long lasting names again, trying to find and push real talents (and stop flooding the scene with bland newcomers restyled from head to toes), that would be business too. And who knows if it wouldn't be more sustainable as well. More risks but worth taking, in my opinion at least.
 
Is Josifine Rodermanns still considered new enough? I think she will have her breakthrough this season (I think I just butchered her name :lol:)

I guess?? Didn't do a RTW fashion week before (bc she was dropped from prada where she was a ww excl.) So my bet is on Josefien Rodermans (maybe ck excl.?) and I hope Annemara post also will sweep up (isn't really new either but still..).
Also
* Kelly M.
* Juliane G,
* Karo
And not new: I really do hope Ymre (if she even shows up) and Bette will smash us all.

^ Her cornfirmation apparently didn't get through in the end. Same to Daphne the season before.
 
if Josefien doesn't show up today or tomorrow she's probably a CK excl. especially considering she opened and closed the resort show
 
I wonder where Julia Zimmer and Beegee are up to. Beegee would make a great fit for CK.
 
Josefien is a shoo-in for a CK exclusive after opening CK resort, Im thinking Morgan Warnier as well, but it's all a guess.

@Forrest; Ymre will not walk this season, 100%.
 
No Kelly Mittendorf ? exclusive ?

also

Corinna Ingenluf
Antonia Wesseloh

these two will sweep all the ay to Milan - Paris

Maud Welzen this time not making that many shows not expecting that
but we'll see in Milana and Paris

Morgan showed up at Lacoste, so no CK excl. there.
No sight yet of Kelly M & Blanca. Cant see the first at CK, the latter yes.

Sofar a bit underwhelmed by Jess Gold and the two Liranyana mentioned.
Impressive debuts sofar Alice C, Ilse de Boer & Valerija C

Think the last one, Valerija will kill it in Milano.
 
Disappointed with Jess Gold too, she looked phenomenal on print. But she's done only 1 show so far so I'm still watching out for her. Valerija is my favorite newcomer so far!
 
Neither a sign of the much hyped Sojourner Morrell so far. And I still wonder where Ehren Dorsey and Julia Zimmer are. And that IMG tomboy Court something.
Oh, Beegee apparently is off to NY so I assume she's excl for someone.

As of Blanca.... Just saw some digitals of her... I don't expect too much...

It hasn't even been three days of shows yet, but I'm already getting sick of seeing Antonia everywhere.

Nice to see Morgane making her debut though. I like Karolina Mrozkova this season, she looks really good on the runway.
 
^Yeah, I'm getting sick of Antonia too. And glad to hear about Beegee, Calvin Klein here we go. :D
