Do models come in and out of fashion?
Models come in and out of fashion. I represented a girl called Bridgette Hall who has had a renaissance four times in her career, and no one can understand how this girl keeps coming back. She started out at 15, she did a Ralph Lauren contract when she was 16 and then died a death. Six months later, she cut her hair and she was on the cover of Vogue again. It's happened four times and it amazes everybody. I'm delighted for her because she can still buy houses because of it. In a way, the bigger splash a girl makes depends how long her career can last. Sometimes it's better to maintain a quiet career when a girl can have a 20 year career in the business, rather than, "Wow, she's the girl of the moment." There's a lot of pressure and even more competition at that point, and her career can then end within 6 months. In this day and age, with everything being so international and communications being so easy, models peak very fast and drop very fast.
