Wilhelmina New York F/W 10 Women Show Package
Try ignoring the Wilhelmina women’s board now! That seems to be the gauntlet thrown down by this agency FW 10 show package, an offering led by the bold statement “Do you lead?”. Of course daring to think of Wilhelmina as a fringe women’s agency would be extremely unwise, especially after the spectacular SS 10 runway performances posted by Keke and Marike. For Fall/Winter, Wilhelmina means to capitalize on that surge by signaling to clients that Spring’s explosion was no fluke especially when one gets a glimpse of gorgeous possibilities like Anais and Elena. Decking your suite of choice models out in leather fetish gear in images all shot by Wilfredo Alexander then wrapping the whole affair in black bandages and a leather neck harness is certainly a bold statement but it is one you admire because it has a welcome fearlessness. Most of all it demands your full attention and provokes the thing most needed in convening an identity around your agency as a brand.” Let others follow seems to be the challenge: “Wilhelmina is here to take control.”

Marilyn Model Mgmt F/W 10 Show Package
Flanked by two abstract illustrations , Marilyn’s FW 10 show package draws on the formal elegance of the design tradition forged by the likes of Brodovitch where a beautifully cropped photograph is everything in messaging your taste point. And what might that new message be? Frankly it is that the aesthetic intrinsic to Marilyn, one that celebrates the power of a woman’s beauty, stands as an even more vital aspect of the company’s identity than ever before. From the grace of Liu Wen to the piercing strength of Constance, the luxurious womanhood of Eniko to the individualistic cool of Lindsey Wixson these beautifully edited cards of the young ladies of Marilyn provide a modern ideal of classic beauty. Under the current guidance of Chris Gay, Marilyn has recontextualized itself in a very determined way to engage in direct dialogue with those power clients who want that classic ideal powering their runways, editorials and campaigns. Marilyn’s scouting has become a text-book case of dexterity and resourcefulness over the years and it is really intriguing to watch the way that great faculty has been converted into lucrative and consistent booking for those in demand faces. As such this new faces board is going to be a center of attention for all those directional casting directors hunting for a breakthrough and girls like Chantal, Alisa, Tetyana, Josefin and Christina will find themselves marked off for those blue chip assignments. At the end of the day it is the ability to draw that very directed attention that is the key imperative of all this beautiful imagery. That is something Marilyn masters this season.

Women Model Management F/W 10 Show Package
Well look at that! Women NY now has an identity and it is as decided as it is deeply sophisticated. The significance of that achievement is that one of the legendary agencies in New York, founded on a tradition of ultra-high fashion imaging, moves into a new decade with it legacy not only intact but fully burnished. Like any good brand that has established its taste point Women, for its FW10 packaging reprises the now signature gestures such as a beautifully produced fold-out box, this time in navy ultra-suede with a shock of hot pink interiors all the more to play off against the classic olive green of the card-holder. And the cards, in a style that has become indicative of Women, is that 4 panel fold out featuring images that render those Women models as the epitome of glossed out high glamor. The fact that in such a short period of time the agency has come to locate such a consistent and controlled visual identity testifies to Louie Chaban’s quiet faith in the power of taste to persuade all the variables…clients… models…mother agencies to fall under the spell of that Women Mgmt aesthetic. That power of persuasion stands ready to serve the talent at Women very well whether they are the iconic girls on offer this season (think Angela, Karen, Isabeli) or that vital new wave of current campaign queens (Nimue, Iselin, Jamie). And it seduces that wave of discerning clients to hunt rigorously through Women’s new board for that girl who will be this season’s Mirte. At the end of the day, this is what summons respect for the design work of Jason Duzansky . It is at one and synonymous with the management philosophy of Women and stands as a lesson to those younger agencies and managers that understand and crafting the image of your models according to the highest values of fashion is what gives an agency its ultimate credibility. That achievement is what will keep the name of Women historic.
