May 10, 200817 yr James Scully has many a man’s dream job: He determines which long-legged beauties score a spot on top runways. His first major casting was for Todd Oldham in 1993. Since then, he's also helped cast Gucci and YSL shows during Tom Ford era. And from 1999 to 2001, Scully was the bookings editor at Harper’s Bazaar, picking which models, hairstylists, and makeup artists get hired for shoots. After a recent two-year hiatus, Scully is back with his own runway-show production company. We followed him during fall castings for Look, and somehow managed to make him list his all-time favorite girls. Considering how many resort castings he’s set to work on (Carolina Herrera, Stella McCartney, Derek Lam, Zac Posen, and Jason Wu), you can probably bank on many of these faces popping up in New York soon. Liya Kebede: An all-time eternal favorite for me — she's an exotic Grace Kelly. Models work for years to develop the poise, grace, and style that she came to the business already equipped with! It still shocks me that I sometimes have to sell her to a client, but every time she walks in the room, she always proves me right.
