Trends in Modeling
There is a huge trend right now to cast real people
Gap
Rick Owens Runway in Paris
No, instead Owens went wildly left of center, creating a show where his designs were presented by a cast of American, mostly Black, female step dancers who were not size zero or two, not dainty, not demure, and not hyper sexualized as Black women on stage all too often are. These women, a significant number of whom are members of Zeta Phi Beta sorority at Howard University, descended from the top of a staircase, performed a step dance, then broke off to have a brief solo moment to showcase the pieces (loosely fitting tunics and shorts), before finally ending in an interlocked chain of stomping bodies.
While Owens will be the one called an innovative risk taker, it was the women and mother-daughter director/choreographer who deserved the accolades. Backstage, Owens, who had to custom fit the pieces to the non-sample size women, said it was a "f–k you to conventional beauty" that he loved. Others were less than pleased, saying the exaggerated mad faces made by some of the women played on stereotypes of the angry Black woman; as if even on a Paris runway all they can do is mean mug for the (mostly white) audience.
Langley Fox Hemingway
brian there is another trend thats been happening this last season which is not using the typical "model" for campaigns. its using interesting people- DJ's, artists, stylists, designers, philanthropists, photographers, bloggers etc. i represent langley fox hemingway who in addition to being a hemingway is gorgeous and an amazing artist www.langleyfox.com but people book her because shes a gorgeous illustrator. i feel like the brands are lookikng for something more…interesting people that consumers identify with. that people say- that could be me. its a more aspirational approach as opposed to using the typical model. its actually really inspiring.
you can see this in the gap holiday campaign, levis, uniqlo, sephora, redken etc.
