THIS DESERVES A MODEL

We are scouring the streets, and especially the shows, of New York with our cameraman Sacha. Now Sacha is a lot (handsome, sweet, and extremely good for example), but he has no understanding of the fashion world. We try to explain to him in football metaphors what someone's status is. Karlie Kloss is the Lionel Messi of the modeling world.

Meanwhile, Sacha does know that he always has to film ‘that lady with the bob’, but there are still many questions. Yesterday he asked me what such a model earns. This one is for you Sacha. And of course for you, because you probably also find it interesting to know. Here we go.

This question is asked of me so often. “Do those girls actually earn something?” The answer is yes. There was a time when brands preferred to pay models in clothing. But since you can't pay your rent with clothing, agencies raised the alarm. The New York modeling agency DNA, for example, stopped using their models for the Marc Jacobs show because they did not pay. And what happened? Now Marc Jacobs pays everyone, including the models who do not come from DNA.

What you earn depends on your status. Assume $500 for the youngest employees, $1000 for the bigger girls, and $10,000 for attractions like Naomi Campbell or Doutzen Kroes. There are also models who walk a show ‘exclusive’. Then a brand wants you to only appear for them and not walk any other show. Usually, such exclusivity applies for a specific fashion week. Then you will definitely be extremely happy with. you are bought out for New York, or for London, or for Milan, or for Paris.

She flew her mother in, had her buy an extra suitcase, and flew back home together

Rianne van Rompaey opened the show of Jason Wu and walked it exclusively. She was specially flown in (business class) and stayed at the Four Seasons, walked the show, and returned to the Netherlands with a full purse. Look, that's the better work.

Furthermore, the girls naturally receive a lot of goodies. After the Michael Kors show, I spoke to Maartje Verhoef and Julia Bergshoeff: the bag counter printed with seafood. Oh, how everything at five. Alexander Wang, Michael Kors, Jason Wu, and a few other designers they couldn't quite remember gave away bags. Furthermore, they receive sunglasses, clothing, shopping credits, and makeup. Yesterday the topic of conversation was how they were supposed to take all those items home. The most fun solution was suggested by Alexandra Elizabeth during fashion week in September. She flew her mother in, had her buy an extra suitcase, and flew back home together. With a suitcase full of goodies and a head full of memories. We are scouring the streets, and especially the shows, of New York with our cameraman Sacha.
