June 13, 201212 yr New LOreal She is perfect! L’Oreal Paris Miss Candy campaign full photos That last picture (of the 'full photos') is particularly gorgeous but isn't it from a different, older, L'Oreal shoot? I'm sure I've seen closer cropped versions of it before. On the VS debate, am I being naive here but isn't working for L'Oreal a much bigger thing than working for VS, as L'Oreal is a more 'global' brand? If that's the case then wouldn't L'Oreal's views on Barbara's appearance be more important to her than VS's?

If that's the case then wouldn't L'Oreal's views on Barbara's appearance be more important to her than VS's? yes a L'Oreal contract is way more important for a model because VS is one big thing but only in the US. Now if a model wants to be famous and known in the US she had to work with VS (or have one million views on youtube because she danced in bikini or was on the cover of SI swimsuit issue) Since she signed with L'Oreal she is so famous in Europe and even people that had nothing to do with fashion (my mom first! ) know who she is. Back in the 90's/00's working for VS for a model was just something aside their fashion work but now it's 90% of their time (especially the newbie or the Angels wanna be) Candice is working a bit more aside VS but I think she will work so much more for fashion magazines and doing fashion shows without VS. VS is like a golden prison for a model. Money & fame but prisoner for ever at doing the same thing over & over again.

Barbara's far too good a model to get stuck in the VS rut but I think she knows that.
June 13, 201212 yr VS is like a golden prison for a model. Money & fame but prisoner for ever at doing the same thing over & over again. I couldn't have said it better I've always wanted to know how Gisele became known as angel but also did other things asides. I think Miranda Kerr is trying too.. Why the other models of Vs don't do it?? Sorry about the off topic question... Love this pic... She looks incredible (minus the cigarette )

But somehow, all models of the world aspire to this golden prison. Btw,Barbara is just :wub2:
June 13, 201212 yr In terms of name recognition, VS offers that more than any other modeling contract, including L'Oreal. L'Oreal is a much bigger outside the US than VS, but VS imo is still more important to models. A model like Candice, is still more famous in europe than Barbara even with her L'Oreal contract. I don't know why people still say VS ruins the careers of models. Adriana, Alessandra, Miranda, Candice are doing just fine. And they are not only known in the US
June 13, 201212 yr Candice is absolutely not famous in Europe sorry.And VS is not ruining the careers of models, it's just slow all the things they could do outside VS and they are labeled as "VS models" everywhere.Andwhen u say VS is important to models, it's just a perspective. If you love VS and you are a fan of Candice or Adriana or Miranda or etc. You are inclined to think it's important. But in the fashion world perspective it is not. VS is big money & quick fame & yes, lazy models are tempted to take the easy way: to work for VS! (and i don't blame them)
June 13, 201212 yr But somehow, all models of the world aspire to this golden prison. :wub2: I don't think so.

June 13, 201212 yr But somehow, all models of the world aspire to this golden prison. :wub2: I don't think so. Why? Because it's like any person with a job. U have the choice to have a safe job that u love (long term contract & money) but always doing the same thing most of the time or u still can do the job that you love but u are taking more risks by working non stop with different brands/companies/magazines/etc. I don't know how to explain this to you... A lot of models aspire to more diversities in their career (and more excitement I guess) then get stuck in the same thing all the time.

I'm saying she's more famous than Barbara in Europe.VS puts the girls on the map. Look at Candice, she now has a flourishing hf career thanks to them. Bregje did a music video for Marron 5, and I'm sure she was spotted at the show. The list goes on
