TI's been putting his ears to the ground gathering the hiss on the newest of the new girls clients are scrambling for ( Sigrid, Pernille, Darya, Charlotte, Amanda Laine, Iris, Viktoriya, Cato ) The good news is after the constant tolling of the bells regarding the ability of the New York' s modeling culture to break a star onto the market, a strong group of directional casting directors are looking to do just that. The Calvin Klein will continue the tradition of being NYC's most coveted runway for a breaking face. To ensure that there are seriously coveted girls under consideration whose cards have gone to no other clients. Early signals indicate that Marc Jacobs and Marc by Marc will not break from a marked preference for newcomers. The best buzz reaching TI's ears is the determination on all fronts to cross Alexander Wang over to a inarguable blue chip status and a strong suite of never-before-seens is considered essential for that . Proenza will be directional and designers like Phi and Richard Chai will do their utmost to keep the cabine fresh and forward ....As for Ti's own strange, personal , peculiar POV...I've been looking at my notes for Rad Hourani and oddly enough I can't write any names down as being a show ideal. I just know that on an emotional level my note book is full of missives like "No more zombies", "No more flat girls, bored girls, tired girls" . Instead the search is on for ..."Much more of girls who LIKE fashion. Funny Girls. Hungry Girls. Mad Girls". But do my personal feelings about models have any place in a young designer's line-up? Maybe I should just do the obvious, which is to make a list of all the top girls at all the top agencies and negotiate time on them as best I can. It's an interesting conflict. For the first time since I've been at MDC my mind is starting to split between the personal and the political. Political means stability and status and money. Personal is what makes fashion...fashion. Out that conflict let's hope something creative and innovative will emerge.

girls who like fashion

I had the pleasure of working with Cato for an hour this week. This girl that arrived in gold flats with flawless skin, a tank top and cut-off denim skirt pulled a pair of Alaia and Mui Mui shoes out of her Chloe bag. She talked about what an amazing opportunity modeling was in flawless English and her post modeling dreams. I was captivated and enthralled! Right after she walked out my door I felt compelled to call IMG (not the other way around) and tell them that she was my new favorite person in the world. That's the feeling that I want from my models. I don't want to have to squint, imagine smoke and mirrors, and "get it." I want it to be inspirational and aspirational. You shouldn't need Steven or Russell to confirm that feeling in your stomach. If you – that's a general you – do, you probably need your own gut check and find something else to do for a living.

No more bored, tired, flat girls..

I agree. Something different would be nice. "girls who LIKE fashion. Funny Girls. Hungry Girls. Mad Girls" who are you thinking ?!?!
