Rejected by Gucci in 2006 I think

After Gucci changed team .. that new team (designer or casting director) said she's too fat for Gucci

 

Doutzen started modeling at a crazy time in fashion

From around 2003 - 2010 models had to choose between high fashion or commercial modeling 

They were not aloud to do both

Even when Doutzen signed with Loreal in 2006 some people said her high fashion career is over /she's not high fashion anymore ... blablabla

 

Doutzen and her team rejected some big commercial campaigns in the beginning of her career ... for brands like Nivea & Guess because it was too commercial and it could ruin her high fashion career

Someone said if u do Guess u will never be able to work with Steven Meisel

So they rejected the Guess campaign ... and Ellen von Unwerth was furious about it! Yelling at her manager who the hell do u think you are!? You lost your mind? I made Claudia schiffer famous! 

 

After Doutzen signed with VS in 2008 her high fashion career kind of ended/very low key with B list jobs in high fashion & she gained weight

But in 2010 when Prada booked some VS angels to walk the Prada show things changed in high fashion

Models are able to do commercial work + high fashion work & didnt have to be size 0 anymore  

 

Especially last few years with commercial tabloid models like Jenner/Hadid/VS angels/etc. Doing commercial work for Guess, Nike, Pepsi & High fashion work for Vogue Italia, Fendi..  (working with Steven Meisel)

 

Now it's even better/ important to be famous/commercial model to score major high fashion jobs

What a pity... But that explains why models like Adriana Lima and Alessandra Ambrosio didn't have their moment at this time! But I believe that there were exceptions like Karoline Kurkova and Gisele Bundchen, or were they not escalated at this time?

 

And you know why she never walked for Chanel?

Gisele started working in the 90's ....she had her first Vogue cover back in 1997

 

Karolina Kurkova's started in 2000 or 2001 but high fashion career died after becoming Angel

 

 

Doutzen's high fashion career didnt die but it was low key between 2008-2010 (0 fashion shows, no A list Vogue covers...just A list editorials & B list Vogue covers like Spain/Germany/Australia etc & good B list campaigns like GAP/DeBeers/7 For All Mankind/Pronovias, etc.)

Back in early 2010 she got A list work for Blumarine and Tiffany & Co, Prada show...but she got pregnant

 

No idea why she never worked for Chanel

She walked lots of shows for Fendi & Karl Lagerfeld own line ... but never Chanel
