miss Kate Moss eat them all

Why no Gisele, Yasmeen Ghauri and Shalom ?

 

[JeanAvril]

It's nothing new, but the casting is really bad.

Amelia has a very hard face, Paloma isn't a good model and people need to be honest about these things.

 

[Gonzalo]

Mostly, They are Meisel' s fetish models to the point of indigestion.

 

[GivenchyHomme]

I’m curious, are we going to get some photos or just a video of them awkwardly piled on top of each other? So far, I’ve found this to be quite uninteresting and more hype than substance.

 

[Fiercification]

Yes, very underwhelming, as I expected to be with the number of models cast. I'm not sure that invididual or smaller group pictures alongside the main photo would help though, given that the backdrop is very basic.

I don't want to turn this thread into a casting grumble, so I will say that the highlights for me are seeing Twiggy, Penelope and Paulina through to true Meisel girls like Iselin and Meghan, as well as newer, less expected faces like Precious, Maty and Rosalieke (I think we can say the latter two seem to be some of his favourite newer faces). I'm going to guess Anok will never want to work for Zara, given her previous experience. She's one of the top 5 models in the world and has a good enough rapport with Meisel and Templer to have been given plenty of opportunities to work for the brand in the past 6 - 7 years, so there's clearly still bad feelings (no judgement from me!)

As basic as this all is, I can't help but be lured in by Meisel merch . Bet I'll get a T-Shirt or poster (or both ).

Not sure why people keep on mentioning Giselle, she is on another league. Kate, Giselle and Daria are rarely do group shots.

Abbey and Trentini are Meisel's favorite but it's a shame he never put them on vogue italia cover (same with Natasha)

Natasha and Abbey were never really Meisel girls.

But they were on the same final cover as Edward Enninful and I don't think they inserted her in post-production.

Her misuse of charity funds took a big hit to her reputation amongst the general public. Maybe Zara thought it would be best to separate her from the other models, especially when she is known to still act like a diva.

^Yes Toni, that's what I'm saying that will happen to Rianne. She won't work (if she doesn't regret) as full time model, but I can see her doing these kind of projects with Meisel or another Bazaar cover styled by Alt.

^Caroline was also part of the 50 models cover for the 2014 anniversary of VI. She appeared in other eds from 2004 (like "Be my baby") as part of the cast. And 2 American Vogue covers, May 2007 and May 2009 (and she doesn't look small or hide on that one, ha). Caroline, Abbey, Anja and Natasha never made VI solo covers with him, but they did other projects with Steven.

Is this Paulina's first time shooting with Meisel in 30 years?

I wish Gisele, Shalom, Kate, Raquel, Freja Beha, Hilary, Gemma, Agyness, Lily, Stam & Coco were a part of this hot mess
