Top modeling agencies have a boney model or five to pick with Givenchy. The French fashion house booked girls for “exclusives” during Paris Fashion Week only to turn around and cancel on them less than 24 hours before the show.
An agent vents “They booked these girls and told them they weren’t allowed to walk for other designers. They don’t even offer an ‘exclusive’ fee – just 1,500 euros and press.”
The 5 canceled models received emails the night before saying they had “fit issues” with the girls.
The agent adds “It was total B.S. We had one girl who flew to Paris all the way from Argentina. It was too late for them to get new gigs, and they had to pay for their own hotels. I’ve never seen something so unprofessional and arrogant.”
While it sucks that Givenchy did this, shouldn’t their agents have gotten them a better deal?
Just sayin’.
