But what you’re saying doesn’t make much sense. People say the HF world is responsible for the anorexia epidemic so does that mean those girls shouldn’t be casted too? 

 

 

Fair point. I just feel like instagram influencers are not models. They don't go through the trials a HF model would go through it's completely different to how a HF model comes up. It's all about your followers and not what you have to offer as a model. Again, just an opinion ...

Maia C is mega lovely irl, know her through some other NZ girls who live in London and I like when nice people are successful so cheers to her on her callback, I believe she would also be the first person of Maori descent in the VSFS? Love! I hope Sofia Jamora makes it as well so the Polynesian rep can continue (and so I get to watch that body in high def). 

 

Place your bets, will Tako ever walk?

Not to be that person, but they still face trials, love. Just because they face different trials to 'HF' models doesn't invalidate their come up. It's literally always about being pretty, some people are a more marketable kind of pretty than others, hence, Instagram versus taking polas in the IMG offices. And anyway, save the incredibly famous like the Hadids and Kendall, and Hailey if Bieber's rock finally gets her in the door lmao, these girls are attending castings and going through the same shit as the 'HF' girls. Chill with the gatekeeping. It's bras and low rated telly.

I agree wholeheartedly. I guess just being someone who's suffered body image issues myself as a result of Insta girls has me feeling this way! You are so right though, its just bras and bad editing ahah

This can be applied to literally any type of model- it’s definitely not specific to Instagram models. I’m not saying your stuggle with body image isn’t valid but the exact same thing can be said about HF models and seems like a strange point when debating the two.

I do not like where VS is heading. Sounds like their marketing and production team have gotten so stale. They need new people and fresh ideas/outlooks. 

 

Instagram is the sole reason many girls struggle with body image and mental health. If VS casts a bunch of social media influencers THEY ARE CONDONING THIS BEHAVIOUR!

 

And I'm mentally preparing myself for all the recycled wings and look concepts on the runway this year. 

 

If it is terrible then people will get fired and a new creative team will come in. It's a double edged sword and learning lesson for everyone involved.

The models can be discovered in different ways, maybe a girl with the attitude and face to be a model, they did not even think about dedicating themselves to it. And thanks to accounts like IG, they can open up to the opportunity to work as a model. I do not see anything wrong while these girls have not been called thanks to the dirty nepotism that exists in VS and/or do not really have an appearance that startles among the rest of the women. Bella H. At least I think she has looked good walking these two years and with surgeries or not, it is a bomb. Unlike Kendull, who still with all the retouching does not even seem attractive to me at all.

I feel like the "Nepo" type of models are out now. Faded. They have proven not to be as profitable as they look so now they are trying IG girls with a high following whether they are real or not but I also don't believe social media influencers are as profitable either...unless you are talking makeup but who knows.. Kendall is out. She closed her own door with both hands and a key. Then lit the door on fire. You can't even find the ashes at this point.

Y'all better quit trash-talking Aube. She's done exceptional work in the modeling world. VS has clearly changed and (arguably) not for the better. She clearly did not recognize that until she attended castings. You can blame her agency for not informing her and I understand that what she wrote probably should have been kept to herself, but don't discredit the high standard of modeling she has held herself to in the high fashion world.

She’s a petty little girl whining and running her mouth because she didn’t get a job she apparently didn’t want in the first place. 

 

If she was so unbothered she wouldn’t be wasting her time lamenting to VS fan accounts about how downhill VS had gone and spent an entire day making passive aggressive Instagram posts. 

 

Edited to add on: She might be a decent model with good work behind her but that doesn’t excuse the fact she has a superiority complex and sense of entitlement that is frankly unappealing and unprofessional. This was her first year casting? And she’s throwing a fit that she didn’t make it, when there are models who have been rejected for years (including HF girls) who continue to preserve and try and she’s acting like she deserved the callback immediately.

You are perfection as always.

 

Additionally, respecting someone's modelling work and calling them out for being a rude, career jeopardising idiot are not mutually exclusive, but is her career really worthy of respect if she's so willing to be so cruel to other models and disrespect their careers because they're more successful through other avenues like instagram and youtube? 

 

Anyway. New topic to unite us all. I think most people would say Kendall is out, but what about Gigi and Bella?
And for that matter, Hailey and her wedding? Does anyone think she's not going to even try to do the show this year?

Gigi and Bella have earned their stripes at this point. They lost weight, made themselves over, and work very hard on their craft. Not here and there like other models but they actually work.

 

Hailey is not walking, it would be "so obvious" as Sophia would say....when she referenced Kate Upton....that could have been a moment. She is no different from Marissa Miller persona wise. She is just not a model. Pretty girl and nice body but nepo doesn't work for everybody.

I’m assuming that Lauren de Graaf got automatic callbacks because she’s in New York and she doesn’t have a showcard with her NY agency.
