Is Supreme Closing? Is Paul Rowland Set to Head Ford? Rumors Are Flying High

On March 9th, 2010 The Imagist posted, in a scoop de jour, the following:

"TI is forced to contemplate that astonishingly radical shift that rocked NYC this morning. In one fell swoop, three of the biggest modeling agencies in NYC have been thrown into realignment."

Since then the rumors have been flying high. And the following are but a few of the interesting bullet points, coming from the TI post, and now the Fashion Spot. If you know something solid, do share, or email me.

1- Paul Rowland might be moving to head Ford.

2- Supreme might shut down.

3- Mohammed, who heads up the Supreme Board, will be going to Ford as well.

4- If not shut down "Supreme will be managed by an Italian, the Major one on the Italian market"

5- Louis Chaban will continue to head Women.

6- "This new owner of Ford is brilliant! He basically buys Supreme for the cost of Paul, Mohammed and two other Supreme bookers and gets the money maker from Women Direct to boot!! Impressive! For someone not from the industry he is proving to be a brilliant player on the board. He and Mr. Fortsman at IMG, as agency owners from outside the industry, are true forces to be reckoned with."

7- "The newest is that a certain well known agent from the biggest agency on the block is being approached to jump ship to fill in those empty chairs now. This is a crazy time."

8- "As far as I know (got this from another agent), Supreme is not going to close down"

9- So we'll have Ford, Supreme, & Women as top agencies?

10- "The forth agency is non other than Elite. "the lady" should be running things over there and pulling it together."

11-  "Ford, Supreme and Elite.."!

12- "i am so confused. what does this mean? who bought who? ford is now on the womens team? paul rowland is now head of ford? i am soooo confused!"

-ya me too

13- "Hello No! Why? How is that going to work? Paul Rowland at Ford? Doing what???? How is that going to work? All those Supreme freaks at a money agency?


An Italian? The lady? Supreme freaks? As much fun as this is, I think we should stop here before it really gets out of hand!

As already noted, these are ALL rumors, so make what you may out of them. But a new decade might be bringing us new powers in the high end fashion & modeling worlds. Though my bet is that it's the unnamed here, who will be the ones to reckon with.

A shoulder & Four Calves

 

One must pay imminent attention to a woman's figure, through the division of the whole. Little whispers...comments...may ad up to more then one general compliment. To make her think of many moments, is more important than what she already knows: that she's an attractive lady; that is but obvious to her. But the why she is attractive, to you specifically, might be more of an interest to her. I may speak in vagueness, as vagueness is yet another secret to her satisfaction. It is somewhat a game, she adores to play; an adventure, she likes to be whisked upon.

The curves of your shoulder...the delicate strength of your calves...are but...(after a pause, and in little hush of a voice, reveal to her, why she's worth it).

Alexander McQueen F/W 10

 

“People always ask if I think about a concept or the show or the front row or whatever first. No! Fuck off! The client comes first! The collection is driven by what clients want in different parts of the world, so I want them to be able to see it straight away and to judge it for themselves. Well I just think that which celebrities are wearing it, what reviews say—none of it matters if it’s all there for people to make their own minds up. I’m 40 now, but I want this to be a company that lives way beyond me, and I believe that customers are more important to making that happen than press. When I’m dead, hopefully this house will still be going. On a spaceship. Hopping up and down above the earth.” -Alexander McQueen
