Cult Icon Posted March 11 Posted March 11 22 minutes ago, Hollander said: I also don't understand why she is not doing more shows. Possibly not enough interest from clients. Models who walk shows for brands have the best chance of booking campaigns. It is important to show that brands are still interested in you, which makes you more desirable as a model. However, her agency probably thinks that this doesn't matter or that she doesn't need to do that. Doutzen is an 'old model'/aging model, even age 34 is too old and she's 40. Quote
Hollander Posted March 11 Posted March 11 Age has become less important in recent 15 years. Models no longer need to retire at 30. Look at Natasha Poly, Irina Shayk, Lara Stone, Carolyn Murphy, Linda Evangelista, Karen Elson and so on. Even before her sabbatical at age 36, she booked many magazine covers and big campaigns for clothes, shoes, jewelry, cosmetica and so on. It's just a shame that she hasn't returned yet to the same level as before her sabbatical. She deserves a second chance. Some contacts, such as those with photographers Inez & Vinoodh, unfortunately have not (yet) been restored. But I still have hope that with good help from her agency she can return to the top and get important magazine covers/campaigns. If she had walked more shows this season, she would have had a better chance of getting higher quality work. Unfortunately, just one big show for Fendi will not make a difference. Quote

It doesn't make sense,Mariacarla is 44now,but she still can got lots of campaign and covers. That's because she walk as many shows as possible. She always remind people she is still a perfect choice for covers or campaign Quote
Mille Backer Posted March 12 Posted March 12 Age counts and will always count, obviously in recent years this has stopped having a greater weight and clients have been more flexible with models. The problem with Doutzen is that I think she herself doesn't want to work as much anymore or the second option is that clients don't want to work with her because of everything she said. Instagram would certainly help a lot, since it has millions of followers. She hasn't been working as much lately, I think it's ok for her to do 5 shows per season, I just wanted her to go back to how she was before the pandemic. Quote
Hollander Posted March 12 Posted March 12 She said in an interview with Dutch Vogue Sept. 2024 that she is open to it again. But I don't think she is willing to put in the effort herself. She doesn't attend any parties even though it is quite important for models. She does not want any contact with clients...her agent does all the work now. And she no longer uses Instagram, even though models with many followers posting work on Instagram are important for clients to receive extra attention. She is quite invincible now. She should start using Instagram again, walk more shows and go to a big party/events. PFW was perfect for that. Perfect to network with important people. But she skipped it. I hope she soon gets a major international magazine cover and agrees to promote it on her Instagram. That would be a good reason for her to come back on Instagram.

Hollander Posted March 16 Posted March 16 Moncler F/W 2025.26 Wmagazine.com Her facial expression looks weird here... She looks like she has seen a ghost.

Mille Backer Posted March 16 Posted March 16 Nice show. With the infernal heat here in Brazil I wish I was there! Quote
Hollander Posted March 17 Posted March 17 The show is very impressive! Amazing location! But she did not make a good impression on me at all. She looks so old here.... Aging has also affected her beauty, her lips are getting thinner, eyelids slightly drooping, cheeks losing volume and so many wrinkles right now. If I saw her walking down the street like this, I wouldn't turn around and think wow, she's flawless. I wish she had taken better care of her skin like Candice, Carolyn Murphy, Alessandra, and Adriana. Better quality. Quote
radolgc Posted March 17 Posted March 17 She looks the same!!! If Carolyn, Candice, Alessandra and Adriana stand next to Doutzen without any make-up, they will all look much worse! She is aging perfectly and looks flawless! Quote
radolgc Posted March 18 Posted March 18 These last 2 posts are backing up my opinion perfectly! She looks flawless indeed! Quote
Hollander Posted March 18 Posted March 18 Those pic/vid are backstage at Moncler show. Luckily it was just bad light and freezing cold outside. I saw a video on TikTok of the show featuring a few seconds of Amber Valletta, who looked terrible and was trembling slightly with her mouth, presumably due to the cold. Adriana Lima was the only one over 30 who didn't seem bothered and appeared unfazed. Fortunately, Doutzen was one of the many who seemed uncomfortable. Quote
radolgc Posted March 18 Posted March 18 This whole show looks shockingly awful. All models look horrible. The conditions were terrible and anyone would feel uncomfortable. Bad idea. They also used many old models, so no wonder why most look unflattering. Oh well...fashion lost its glamour many years ago, fashion shows as well! Quote
Hollander Posted March 18 Posted March 18 Why does it take forever to upload the whole show on YouTube? I want to see the whole show. cfe8148ed75a9f953332102bab3b1048.mp4 Quote
