when were models powerhouses (except in the early 90's and for Gisele) to begin with?

I think what is referred to are the big models of the moment and there are big models of the moment in 2018 who have had sucess for more than just a season or two and would fit doing VS at the same time like Amilna, Anna Ewers, Andreea, Birgit Kos, Cara Taylor, Charlee Fraser, Farretta, Giedre, Grace Elizabeth, Imaan, Kris Grikaite, Luna Bijl, RIanne van Rompaey, Tami Williams, Taylor Hill, Vittoria Ceretti. They are like the it-girls from the 2005 era like Morgane, Bianca, Doutzen, Caroline Winberg, Caroline Trentini, Natasha Poly, Inguna, Julia Stegner etc.

About the "debate" that started here after Aube's post and people wonder why social media-models don't qualify equally as hf models is that VS hires fashion models, not glamour models and social media models are pretty much today's glamour models. So I understand when models like Aube feel upset that social media models are doing the casting because they don't have a legit modeling career in fashion modeling but yet get invited to go to the casting for the biggest runway job in fashion modeling.
PS: By social media models I don't mean fashion models who are popular in social media but the ones who gained success through "social media modeling".

 

On another note, I'M VERY SHOCKED that Tako didn't even pass the pre-casting process. She stood out so much from the other models who went to the casting but then again who knows how she actually performed inside the casting room. I also thought that I-Hua could be VS material but she messed it up for herself with that hideous hair cut. I knew she wouldn't make it after seeing her with that hair cut.

I mean I wasn’t the one who described them as powerhouses. Almost all the people you listed have either attended castings or walked the show lol . They’re still very much there. VS is just now incorporating a different method to get sales. Times change. At the end of the day it is a lingiere show not a fashion show, so hiring.fashion models only shouldn’t even be an option at this point.

Please, Xiao made the castings with short hair too. I-Hua looked spectacular, I suspect she got dropped because she wasn't Asian looking enough. Or maybe she's got a bad walk. VS had always wanted girls who looked unique, that hair cut might have given her the bump that she needed.

I-Hua with long hair looks like any generic IG model who made it famous. I'm not a fan of short hairs, but its I-Hua's pan-Asian looks that stood out really. 

 

A lot of people have been comparing her to the looks of Fan Bing Bing and I agree. With that short hair, she also looks like Chinese actress Jing Tian. It was VS' mistake for letting her off the game. That girl might just be the Asian angel VS never asked for.

I think Shanina, Hannah and Nadine may walk this year, they have the new Model Squad show coming out pretty sure and VS could really use that free PR of the girls during the show prep and all that. Devon and Daniela are for sure walking but I think the other three could benefit from it

But it’s not reality tv until one of the girls doesn’t make it and she has to be fake happy for all her friends.

I predict it will be Ping because I just watched the first episode again yesterday and the previews for the season showed her being upset at Hannah. I think it was 

Hannah.

Olivia Culpo won't make it, she's bound to be the one crying because no one takes her as seriously.

I-Hua with short hair looks way way better, she's one of the girls I'm bitter that didn't make it. However, this was her first time trying and maybe her walk wasn't the greatest? I'm hoping she'll make it kast year. It's not too often that girls book the show on their first year, I doubt her "not being Asian enough" was the reason.

+1 to this.

 

Times have changed and VS been really struggling lately, so I completely understand why they would go for commercial girls who will reach more clients. I would also not compare the instagirls (or most of them) to glamour models. These women all have good agencies and work for other brands, sure you won't find them doing Dior shows and campaigns but they have worked with other commercial companies and magazines in the same ranks as VS. VS ain't no HF brand, their target audience are average american women so they need models who will reach them and sell those brans and panties, I don't really understand why some people talk about VS as if it was holier than thou when it's really in the same rank as Forever 21, American Eagle and all those other american brands, all they want from us is to pay $55 for a bra and $10 for panties.

Isn't it nepotism when John's HF favourites are getting invited straight to the callbacks that supposed to be for previous walkers and girls who made it through pre castings?

It’s John not wanting to waste his time seeing girls he already knows can walk and are what VS wants, and can spend his limited time seeing new girls.

She’s a petty little girl whining and running her mouth because she didn’t get a job she apparently didn’t want in the first place. 

 

If she was so unbothered she wouldn’t be wasting her time lamenting to VS fan accounts about how downhill VS had gone and spent an entire day making passive aggressive Instagram posts. 

 

Edited to add on: She might be a decent model with good work behind her but that doesn’t excuse the fact she has a superiority complex and sense of entitlement that is frankly unappealing and unprofessional. This was her first year casting? And she’s throwing a fit that she didn’t make it, when there are models who have been rejected for years (including HF girls) who continue to preserve and try and she’s acting like she deserved the callback immediately. 

 

I guess the point is, back then the competition was between strictly hf models and fashion models who also did catalogue (Erin Heatherton types). Not Instagram models making it to the call-backs over Vogue models.

Reading this post got me wondering if special invitations are a thing for VS lol.

 

Does this mean if we don't see any vets at callbacks, that means they're all automatically walking the show? 

 

They are a thing. Bella and Gigi didn't do castings last year, Alexina is not going to castings this year I think because she's currently in Slovenia and I highly doubt she'll make it back to NYC before the 5th and there is absolutely no way in hell that she won't walk this year.

 

We also know Sui didn't do castings last year (we saw her in the fittings doing her bodysuit way earlier in the year) and I expect her and Ming to not do castings this year tbh.

 

However, these are rare, I expect to see most of vets this week
