MaraJoara and their ‘everyday’ models
Apparently doing something different isn’t always going to be received well by the Australian Fashion Week organisers. At least, that’s the way you’d perceive it if you opened today’s Herald Sun or listened to 3AW.
There’s a massive storm over MaraJoara’s decision to cast, with the help of Rogue Connect amongst others, their models without the assistance of any modelling agency. The result? Australian Fashion Week organisers reputedly saying models size 8 to 12 aren’t good enough for their event, and the whole of the Victorian media rallying on the side of MaraJoara. I’ve even received a phone call from 3AW today simply because I was involved in the casting.
Poor move by the organisers of fashion week.
