Her work seems to have really slowed down this year, it really sucks.

 I agree.

Especially in an age conscious career like modelling.

I doubt it was her choice to work less, you don't sign onto a behemoth like IMG if you wanna slow down.

But I wonder if them dropping her has made things more difficult.

Let's face it it's not like Nina is the face of 10 brands - which is where the coins are really made.

If anything its Karlie who is leaving VS behind, not the other way around. VS would love to have her, especially now how popular Karlie has become with being Taylor's "BFF" and all. But its Karlie who does not need VS anymore. VS seemed like a stepping stone for her and she seems to be moving on. She is not like those angels whose career depends on VS. She has established herself quite well in the US media as well. No need for VS anymore.

Agreed!

Speaking as Brit, Karlie Kloss, Gisele and Kate Upton are 3 'international' models who maintain a presence in the usually insular UK Vogue and in our pop culture.  (Doutzen Kroes is a close one too)

Karlie at this point can open any show for our LFW and no one will think "How Sway"?

I think Bar wanted to do certain things, she accomplished those things and she's done  

 

To be honest Go Daddy adverts or attending mall openings in Canada are hardly prestigious ventures.

And interviews Bar gave alluded to hoping to being big name in America and/or creating a future empire Heidi Klum style.

Post her SI cover, if the big name brands or Vogue, W called I'm quite sure she would have answered

I'm sure she's happy now but I disagree that her career being where its at, was her choice.

$$$ in the bank

But that hasn't stopped Gisele and Kate Moss (the two highest paid for several years now)   

Or Doutzen, Adriana et al who are all Forbes regulars   

And Bar has said in he past that she wants to emulate Cindy Crawford and Heidi Klum's careers who still work well into their 40s.

so does anyone have info about Leo and Blake's fling?Why they broke up?At least they both agree at the privacy thing

Oh God not this again!

No one knows. Neither of them have ever spoken about it and this has just opened up for another bout of lets s*it on the ex girlfriend haterade.  

Not  you  Ox,  Kat and Fash   

Anyway I think Sick is right. They wanted different things in life, and it was 2 years ago.

On Topic -

Just logged on to say the BAFTA committe allegedly met and Gatsby is a front runner for costume design.

Its very early yes, but its good news for Leo and co. and bodes well for the Oscars in that department

Fash - Sent you a pm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@slacker

That's a legitimate point. I think Candice is beautiful but as a British observer I have to be honest I see Candice in swimsuit/beach wear more than I see Kate Upton!

I expected her to be more versatile in that she would at 25 had made more inroads into HF getting more Vogue, W, Harpers Bazzar covers editorials e.t.c

2 years ago I would have sworn she would be the next big thing

But her career appears to have taken a step back IMO to the shrine of VS.

Doutzen and Karlie bury her when it comes to prestige projects and versatility. Even Anne V has a broader range of work/contracts

I understand VS pays well but more and more it appears to strangulate models' careers rather than make them.

For all the hype/potential attached to Adriana Lima she's just a VS lingerie model with some side projects and a strong fanatical following rather than a truly great model it looks like this will be where Candice is headed.

Agreed with you all time will tell...........but toni seems like a sweet girl, and honestly thats all I want in a gf for leo. To see leo with a girl that (at least seems to be) genuine. Also not to add shes always been a top model of mine, so it makes it extra awesome

so I'm just gonna sit back and enjoy weather it lasts 6 months, 6 years or forevs.

Oh and if he happens to get toni preggo, I wouldn't mind

@ If anything that just shows how ridiculous America is, because the rest of the world seems to know exactly how amazing Karlie is. Kate Upton's one cover for Vogue US does not trump Karlie's nineteen Vogue covers around the world, not to mention all the times she has been in Vogue, just not on the cover.

Erm Kate Upton has not only had the "one cover for Vogue US"

She's covered Vogue Italia as well as UK Vogue

These are not the lesser Vogues. Upton's covered 3 of the big US, Italy, UK - only Vogue Paris left for a home run

Kate's also had various Vogue editorials not only in US vogue but also Vogue Espana, and Vogue Germany

Not taking anything away from Karlie.

In fact Upton and Kloss are the only two non English models who have covered British Vogue in a while.

Good for two of them

It has zilch to do with image rights.

Of course VS has ownership and can use the pics to wipe their butts if they so choose.

The question is surely they must have viable models for their catalogue whom they have not publically dissed right?

I mean VS has what 15 models on rota; 6-7 Angels representing them; not to mention the 20 or so models that have walked their runway since 2011

They couldn't use any of them????? C'mon now.

@Doutzen Talked about her H&M contract: “I’m so happy. When I met them, it was already like a second family. It was was so much fun, nice weather, relaxing.. And also with Terry Richardson, to work with him, so much fun. Other angels aren’t allowed to have big other contracts, but I’m an exception. We changed the contract a little bit. I just said: ‘I want to be able to work with H&M, or it’s over’. It was a little scary to say that, but it worked out. And I’m really happy with it, I know that they wanted to work with me for a long time but it wasn’t possible because of Victoria’s Secret.”

If this is true particularly the bolded part I understand why the careers of VS models are now what they seem.

I'm legit surprised that Candice is not bigger right now. It appears she's the de facto head angel in Adriana's absence and considering how high profile she was last year (Paris & NY Fashion Week), VS promo tours and some campaigns.

I expected her to be on course for superstardom about now.

I read on some other blog and I concur that her career seems stagnated.

Almost every picture I see of Candice she's contorting in a bikini someplace for VS. That seems to be 95% of all she does now

She's appears to be more of a lingerie/swimwear model than the maligned Kate Upton!!!!!!!!!!!!!

True she's covered Vogue Espana this year but I honestly would have expected her career to have hit another level by now.

No one signs with IMG - home of Le Moss, Gisele et al - unless they are hungry!

Candice is with them, but her fellow IMG stable mates - Karlie Kloss, Jaon Smalls and Kate Upton seem to be shitting on her work wise right now. As is Doutzen. Doutzen has had Vogue editorials in UK Vogue and is now repping H & M along with Beyonce, Gisele

Colour me very surprised

I believe now that Candice'll likely have a career more like Adriana and Alessandra which is primarily working for VS and do some aside stuff rather than Gisele-like which was working for VS along with other stuff.

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

People seem to think the term Supermodel is a term used for the fashion community, and the fashion world, it's not really. It was a term coined for the households of America, where a model had gained enough recognition that your average layman could recognize the name and/or face.

The term supermodel (also spelled super-model and super model refers to a highly-paid fashion model who usually has a worldwide reputation and often a background in haute couture and commercial modeling. The term became prominent in the popular culture of the 1980s. Supermodels usually work for top fashion designers and famous clothing brands. They have multi-million dollar contracts, endorsements and campaigns. They have branded themselves as household names and worldwide recognition is associated with their modeling careers. They have been on the covers of prestigious magazines such as French, British and Italian Vogue.

She's worked for Gillete, Samsung, Skull Candy, Sobe, Guess, Beach Bunny, been featured on the cover of SI back to back two years running, and been on the cover of Vogue more then once including British, Italian and American Vogue. She may not walk on the runway, but in the end how many average joe's pay attention to who the hell walks on what catwalk? No one, unless you're either buying what the girl is wearing, or you're a member of the fashion community.

It's all about public recognition and I'd say she has that in spades.

@natanel

FAKE! (N)

Same with the facebook page - FAKE (N)

Leighton Meester,Jessica Szcor and Taylor Momsen are the ONLY ones with legit twitter accounts.

Not Blake, Not Penn, Not Chace Not Ed. <_<

Hover over the ticker of https://twitter.com/iam_blakelively/ and it does NOT say 'verified account' as real twitter/instagram ones do

That account is one of many false celeb accounts created with a copied and pasted check mark

Kinda creepy that people go through that much trouble to co-opt someones life

Glad to help

Think it was smart of her.

Go more under the radar and have your fun.

I suspect she would have been torn to shreds by the usual suspects - - if she even attempted to punk it up.

Let them save their hysteria for her upcoming Vogue Cover :brows:

Like it.

She looks so much like Elaine Irwin

People's Best Dressed - http://stylenews.peoplestylewatch.com/2013/05/06/met-gala-2013-best-dresses/

Maybe Kylie realized that modeling wasn't what she thought. Maybe she didn't think she would be as uncomfortable shooting lingerie in front of a dozen of people as she thought. Maybe she changed and decided that modelling wasn't her calling.

VS is obviously pissed that she shat in their cornflakes as well and she has done at least one more job than they said, she was at the Swim launch party thingy in 2010. I don't think that it's that unbelievable either that VS would ask her to be a flirt, play down her marriage and the likes. It's really a shame, they could have done a much better job with Jamie Lee considering she is at least married to a somewhat relevant athlete. I never got why they didn't try to book her again.

But then why would she ask for more work from them if it was not her thing? <_<

Why would she subsequently pose for FHM if she discovered that line of work made her uncomfortable? <_<

Why would she cling to a tenuous a link with VS - her twitter is apparently VSKylie and her blog is "I'm No Angel" - if it was such a horrendous experience that de-humanised her

And the most prominent Angels are married or have kids and VS have not stopped working with the company or thrown them into the Tyber River

Me thinks she's full of BS :baronlamesign:

^^It's amazing how Maxim still hasn't been able to convince her to do a cover for them. Maybe she's all bitter that they gave last year's Hottest Woman title to that Superbowl has-been, Bar Refaeli.

Ha Ha.

I think its smart of her to stay away from man-wanking-tool publications right now.

Sure Kate oozes sex and has traded off on it, :brows: but most of her men's mag shoots have been for the 'thinking man' variety - GQ, Esquire

She's gone for the female friendly market - Cosmopolitan, Elle

And high fashion - UK Vogue, Italian Vogue

With the big one coming - US Vogue. She'll solidify herself as a big player A list

I doubt she'll need to cover the likes of Maxim, FHM unlike others

I can't wait for that US Vogue spread. No work that day for me.

I'm going to be camped on here; TFS; red carpet fashion; with my bag of popcorn savouring the outrage & f*ckery!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LMAO

Kate Moss Vanity Fair cover was the worst selling of 2012. Vanity Fair readers can clearly give a rats a** about models.

http://www.fabsugar....8509749?slide=6

I always wondered why they put models on VF. The typical reader is older, much older,males who mostly care about history and politics.

I don't think there's official sale numbers, i was looking for those but had no luck. The only things i know related to sales: Kathy Ireland's was the best selling issue ever, Kate Upton's 2012 issue is the #2 and Beyonce sales were super low and then Marisa Miller's sales were pretty good the next tooo

Thanks MissLimaVzla,

Wow Kate U is second of all time!! That's top!

With Marissa Miller being up there as well, it probably confirms the appeal of All Americana.

A girl who can sell in NY and La is good. But one who can also shift numbers from keg- houses in Kansas to mechanics in Minnesota is big bucks!!!!!!!

Question-

Does anyone know/have the actual sales figures of SI swimsuit issue? Maybe the last 7 editions?

I've been searching and apart from the oft quoted Kathy Ireland 25th best selling issue there is not much info on selling power/numbers of other models

We get the sale numbers for fashion monthlies and celeb weeklies but nil on SI? Is there a reason?

Anyone have any figures?

(This is specific to PhenoBarbie & Prettyphile ) you guys seem to have the heads up on everything!!!!!!!

Thanx

Please God. Please. Let Kate make it a trifecta

I'm a Brit and loooovvve the girl

Upton is the first SI girl I've heard of sans a famous man attached to her name. There is no "---" girlfriend in the by line of her mag covers.

I also can't wait till she makes another record and becomes an SI girl that covers US Vogue and the mass hara-kiri that will surely follow :evil:

Go KATE!

Congrats to Kate.

I guess she's now in the exclusive company of Christie, Paulina, Elle, Kathy and Tyra to have back to back SI covers. Hasn't been done in over 10 years!

Considering in her Vogue covers , HF editorials along with women friendly publications (Elle, Cosmopolitan) she's deffo making a mark

Rolling Stone next??? Hasn't been done by a model since Gisele I think

Happy New Year Ox, Fash, Kat, Nanda

Just to let you know Leo was in the fourth cut in the list of best dressed of 2012 by the London Telegraph panel. So thanks for your help.

Sad to see Posey, Geegine, Spanish Lover have checked out.

Sent you a PM Fash girl! Peace Out.

Sorry to bother you ladies. Checking on some more Leo info for that red carpet style base tip as I mentioned earlier in June, he made the quarter cut.

@Katchitup, @Oxford, @Posey, @Geegine and @Fash!! (thank goodness you popped in though I'm sure briefly ), could you please tell me if Leo has ever repped a fashion house or alluded to it now or in the future. Only ONE person need respond, I lurk and am often in agreement with what you 5 write and opine vis a vis Leo, his girlfriends, la di dah. Thanks and Appreciate the heads up.

@AnnaBBarrosFan :wub2:

Candice did appear in SI South Africa in 2005

I stand corrected but SI South Africa is likely a 'lesser' version of SI. and there are many SI models who starred in their local pages before graduating to the biggie that is SI USA

If anything Candice appearing in the South African version confirms my theory. It was a stepping stone / exposure niche.

As she appears to be head VS angel - I said 'appears' , - right now with the most exposure, name recognition and bankability, she would be a natural to grace the pages of SI USA. Instead we are seeing her doing runway for Jason Wu and ad campaigns for Versace, Atwood and Oscar De La Renta.

She seems to be emulating peeps like Gisele, Doutzen and Karlie who successfully segued HF with their VS work

With other beauties Adriana, Rosie, Erin, Miranda e.t.c (forgive me if I've left anyone out) still doing working the books & runways (e.g Rosie for San Paolo) I simply do not believe for a moment that it is a coincidence that high profile VS reps/angels are running in the other direction when it comes to doing stuff like SI.

Also, Sophia Neophitou's controversial remarks on Kate Upton suggests to me it is a philosophy ingrained.
