ANTMers in LA Fashion Week
Yesterday, I decided to look at some photos from LA Fashion Week Spring 2009 that was held October 12th-16th to see if I could spot any former ANTMers on the runway. I believe I looked at all of the collections, but if I have neglected to include a specific show then please tell me.
ETA Thanks to burningdarkblue for pointing out that Saleisha also walked for Beach Bunny.
Chantal (Cycle 9): Ed Hardy (Presents Street Fame by Christian Audigier) and Whitley Kros
Eugena (Cycle 7): Kevan Hall and Julia Clancey
Nicole (Cycle 5): Amelia Toro and Lana Fuchs
Saleisha (Cycle 9): Lana Fuchs and Beach Bunny
I must say that when I was browsing the collections most of the models walking looked quite rough and haggard. We may complain frequently about the caliber of many of the contestants on ANTM but they look phenomenal compared to most of the photos I saw of other models. I’m not trying to be cruel, I was just very surprised at some of the choices in models I viewed. I realize that New York and LA are very different markets but many of these models made them look like two completely different worlds, except for the fact that the LA Fashion Week models were also quite thin. One major difference I noticed was the large age gap (or at least what appeared as such). New York and foreign markets may like them fresh out of the womb (well, I’m sure they wouldn’t take kindly to baby fat or short stature) but there seems to be work for the “older” set in LA.
Anyway, take my opinions with a grain of salt and move on to the photos:

I had thought Saleisha looked the best but upon seeing her Beach Bunny photos I think Chantal won this one now.
