It is very disappointing that she has not booked any shows. Hopefully she will be booked for the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show next week, or else her career as a topmodel may be in a precarious state... grok_video_2025-10-07-00-45-51.mp4

Photoshoot + interview because Turkish people will surely be curious and it will definitely get media attention in Turkey. She didn't know how it was paid. Doutzen can't help it..she had the opportunity to do this and just did her job. I think if the Turkish economy did not look bad, there would not have been much/any fuss but because the Turkish economy has become so bad in recent years, there is now fuss. Momager Kris Jenner would have made the best of this situation by probably reaching out to Vogue Turkey herself and proposing a cover shoot and interview. She would have emphasized the potential publicity and sales boost for Vogue Turkey, as well as the opportunity for significant free media publicity all over the country. And it would be foolish for them not to take advantage of this opportunity. ☆ Mo Karadag is Doutzen's manager, and he is Turkish. He can surely try to arrange this. ____________________________________________ Hopefully she doesn't skip Paris Fashion Week! Wish she walked for S/S 2026 D&G in Milan and S/S 2026 YSL in Paris.

Ankara Metropolitan Mayor Mansur Yavaş claimed that Dutch top model Doutzen Kroes was paid 41 million lira to ring the gong at a festival during the term of Melih Gökçek in 2012. I don't know how much that was worth in 2012 because the Turkish lira has lost a lot in value over the past 13 years. I guess it's a lot back in 2012. According to GROK : In 2012, 41 million Turkish lira (TRY) was worth approximately 17.742.005 euros, based on the average exchange rate of that year. As of now (late September 2025), 41 million TRY is worth approximately 845.009 euros/1.086.682 dollars This news in Turkey appears to be trending and making headlines everywhere in Turkey. Hopefully, this media attention will finally get her a new Turkish Vogue cover! 😁 Haberler.comThe identity of the model who received 41 million lira by...Ankara Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Mansur Yavaş announced that 41 million lira was paid for a model to ring a gong during Melih Gökçek's term.

Doutzen Kroes
Yes and no. She's not getting good work. Now, after her comeback, she is only getting boring makeup-free + unkempt hair look for editorial work... plain boring editorial work. Not interesting to look at. (Except for the great shoot for D REPUBLICA in 2024/good team creating good looks with hair and makeup, good modeling and good photography) With good hair and makeup, the whole team can easily upgrade her editorial work. She can still look great...just look at VSFS 2024... Shame that stylist Emmanuelle Alt gave her just 1 bad/boring/weak outfit. But she looked flawless. She's just not getting good opportunities.

But they cannot do that because those collections from 2013 are no longer available. I'm a desperate fan. I don't mind any month. As long as it is good/impressive, because with a photoshoot like in Vogue USA 2024 or Double magazine in 2025, you really don't make an impressive impression on anyone in the industry. She needs something good/creative with her beauty, classy, sexy, or interesting but in a good way. With good hair and makeup and good photography. Some great editorial photoshoots.🩵 Vogue Paris by Mario Sorrenti GQ USA by Glen Luchford Vogue USA by Patrick Demarchelier Elle France by David Vasiljevic Vogue Hommes by Alasdair McLellan Numéro Tokyo by Alexi Lubomirski Turkish Vogue by Cuneyt Akeroglu Vogue USA by Craig McDean Vogue Brazil by Mario Testino Vogue Japan by Luigi & Iango W USA by Mert & Marcus Vogue Paris by Peter Lindbergh Allure USA by Testino V magazine USA by Sebastian Faena Vogue UK by Patrick Demarchelier Vogue Paris by I&V Vogue Italia by Meisel Madame Figaro by Satoshi Saikusa V magazine USA by Glen Luchford V Man USA magazine by Sebastian Faena POP magazine by Solve Sundsbo V magazine USA by I&V V magazine USA by I&V Harper's Bazaar USA by Sorrenti POP magazine by Willy Vanderperre Harper's Bazaar USA by Mario Sorrenti Elle France by Jan Welters Vogue Japan by Ellen von Unwerth Vogue Italia by Meisel Numéro France by Camilla Akrans Allure USA by Carter Smith Vogue USA by Peter Lindbergh Vogue UK by Josh Olins Vogue Spain by Mario Testino Interview magazine USA by Fabien Baron Vogue Paris by I&V Pics from BZ/TFS.

Ad with logo. Behind the scenes footage. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DO-njnKjG1j/?igsh=aGw3cHJ2Y3BvbzMz Hopefully she's going to Milan this week. MFW started today... UPDATE: Her Dutch agent/manager Mo Karadag is also in Milan. He may be able to speak with some casting directors so that Doutzen can book some shows in Milan. Hopefully, Doutzen is already with him in Milan! Vogue France has featured an old picture of Doutzen in their new October issue, with Kim Kardashian on the cover. The photo was originally taken in Greece for Vogue UK 2013 by Josh Olins. I can't believe it's been 12 years already. Time flies!!

These weak polaroid pics seem almost the same as those from 2 years ago and they didn't make a good impression back then either. The reflection of those windows blocks the pupils in the pics, making her eyes appear emotionless as you can not see the pupils. I would have photoshop out that reflection or make sure that it disappears while taking the pics. She might have visible roots here or her hair might be naturally sun-bleached in the Summer. I would have simply dyed or styled it better so that it makes a better impression on casting directors, stylists, and so on. But oh well ... I don't understand a lot of decisions made by her and her modeling agency because they don't put much energy in her career. Her comeback was very weak. 13 months ago in August 2024, she stated in a big interview for Vogue NL that she was open and available again. But the lack of campaigns/covers and the lack of interest from the modeling industry is disappointing... only 1 magazine shoot in 2025 is kinda shocking... (my opinion)

But I also hope she won't be exclusive again because it's pointless if she never gets the campaign!! So frustrating!! I believe it only happened once with Miu Miu, but I'm not even sure because she didn't even get it for that season. She walked exclusively for the F/W 2012 show in Paris but didn't get the F/W 2012 campaign.. she got the S/S 2013 campaign photographed by Inez & Vinoodh. She also walked exclusively for shows like Prada, Calvin Klein, Versace, Alaïa, Fendi, Max Mara, and the list goes on but she never got the campaign. So being exclusive for a show is completely pointless for Doutzen. It even hinders her chances of walking for other shows and potentially scoring a campaign. So I really hope for a few shows like models like Irina Shayk, Adriana Lima, Carolyn Murphy, Natasha Poly do. That's how you stay more relevant in the industry. Walking shows for brands that launch multiple campaigns is also a good choice, so walking for shows like Calvin Klein (Mainline, Jeans, Underwear, Swim, etc.) Ralph Lauren (Mainline, Fragrance and Polo) Miu Miu (Mainline, Accessories, Resort, Holiday, etc.) Carolina Herrera (Mainline, Eyewear, Makeup, etc.) is a smart move because it increases the chance of getting a campaign for that brand. Or/and focus on smaller brands where she can open/close the show and has a strong chance of booking the campaign, such as shows for Blumarine, Diesel and Sportmax.

Fashion Weeks are coming soon! Excited because there are many shows this season! She can make an impressive list of great shows this season with plenty of opportunities. NYFW is already this week! This is the schedule for the upcoming weeks with good shows/brands for top models. It has been over 5 years since she last walked at NYFW. It would be great to see her doing mulitiple shows this season to increase her chances of getting more campaigns and editorial work.

At first I thought it was from Hussein Chalayan's S/S 2007 show, but then I realized she's wearing makeup... It's probably from Tamsen's F/W 2005 show in New York. NYFW (Sept. 11 - 16) is less than 3 weeks away. It would be great if she finally walks a NYFW show after all these years!! For example, for Calvin Klein or Michael Kors. The more shows, the better, as it will give her higher chances of getting better opportunities such as bigger campaigns and better editorial work. I still feel a bit disappointed that she wasn't booked for the F/W 2025 Fendi campaign. She was one of the best standouts in that show. ed93a6182f36afd7485691cfe9e632cb.mp4 Doutzen needs a solo photoshoot with Steven Meisel to make her career big again. She would have been perfect for that Vogue FR September issue by Meisel. Then she could have shown everyone that she still has it... instead of the only and very boring editorial shoot (Double magazine) she booked this year.

Pff you again. You really can't handle criticism. LOL. Josh can do much better (💚his work with Doutzen and Vogue UK) but his photography for this shoot is just a bit disappointing in my opinion. But many top photographers have been disappointing lately in my opinion. Especially Mario Sorrenti for Vogue Paris covers. But like I said: Doutzen, the outfits and styling are good. But you can't handle criticism and only focus on my criticism. Every time I complain about something you suddenly appear again and start complaining that I have criticism about something.

Twinset Fall/Winter 2025.26 campaign Photography: Josh Olins Style: Clare Richardson Model: Doutzen Kroes Source: fashionpress I like Doutzen and the outfits and styling, but I feel that the photography is disappointing. It seems more like behind the scenes/making of the campaign shot by a basic smartphone. A better photographer, like Mert & Marcus, could have made these campaign photos much better and more captivating.
