Envoy_spcial



ACCUEIL > Reportages & Documentaires
A la recherche de la beauté noire
Envoyé spécial, France 2  - Diffusion à compter de septembre 2008

En plein cœur d’Addis Abeba........ Sur grand écran, un clip annonce un événement national... Le premier grand concours de mannequins jamais organisé dans le pays.... Les filles sont belles, elles sont Ethiopiennes... Demain, elles seront peut-être les stars des podiums, les beautés qui feront la Une des plus grands magazines de mode...

Le casting démarre...

85 candidates. 2 minutes pour convaincre, un seul passage....

Elles ont entre 16 et 24 ans et partagent le même rêve...

Suivre les pas de Naomi Campbell ou de Liya Kebede, leur grande sœur éthiopienne, leur modèle...

Alors, elles s’appliquent sous l’œil attentif de Lionel Dejean, un Français. C’est un chasseur de mannequins ; dans le jargon de la mode : un scout...

Et trouver la prochaine princesse noire ferait de lui un scout en vogue. Celui qui a su chercher là où personne ne va jamais, en Afrique...

Va-t-il découvrir ce nouveau talent ?..... Cette beauté noire...

Fiche Technique : Un film de Laurence Delpoux et Claire-Lise Fossat Pour "Envoyé spécial", France 2 Durée : 32 mn Production : Lpbv ! Année : 2008

PBS Television TRANSFORMATION AGE DOCUMENTARY on 360Fashion Network

Television

YOU CAN WATCH THE 360FASHION SEGMENT HERE! Tremendous databases, wireless communications and the miniaturization of electronics provide opportunities to make major changes in the way people work and live. The Transformation Age explores the office, the marketplace, media, finances and our digital lives as they take new forms and remove the barriers of time, distance, wealth, education and even age. THE OFFICE The way an office looks and operates has changed dramatically in the past 50 years, and information technology - for better or for worse - has made a lot of those changes possible. Offices contain people who oversee or design products and services, market them and handle finances. I.T. continues to reduce the role of people in some of these functions while simultaneously reducing the importance of location. Anina Trepte is a high tech globe-trotting fashion model who practically runs her 360 Fashion company and web site with her cell phones. BROADCAST TIMES ON PBS ARE HERE

50% kans op oplichting

Door : Tiny op 16/10/2007 om 23:18:51

Wie droomt er niet van, het gezicht worden van een groot kledingmerk zoals D&G, of het meespelen in een commercial van Ralph Lauren of L'oreal Paris? Dat iedereen tegenwoordig zijn best doet om beroemd te worden blijkt wel aan de toename van aanmeldingen voor programma als Idols, So You Wannebe a Popstar, Hollands Next Topmodel maar ook bij modellen- en castingbureaus, ooit de bewezen weg naar werk, loopt het storm. Er is dus markt, en waar markt is, komen misstanden voor.

Voor inschrijving bij een modellen- of castingbureau worden tegenwoordig veelal inschrijfgelden gevraagd, of zijn zogeheten test shoots (uiteraard tegen soms forse betaling) verplicht. Maar is het eigenlijk wel nodig, geld betalen voor inschrijving of foto's?

Voor dit artikel spraken we met bekende en onbekende modellen, acteurs en professionals uit de industrie. De verhalen over wat de (vaak minderjarige) 'cliënten' overkomen is zijn vaak stuitend en werpen het beeld op van een sector waar 50% van de bureaus er voornamelijk is om geld te verdienen aan de modellen en acteurs, in plaats van andersom.

Om te beginnen bij het begin: hoe werkt een goed bureau? Een goed bureau wordt betaald door opdrachtgevers zoals producenten, grotere bedrijven en instellingen en reclamebureaus. Die bureaus zijn voornamelijk bezig met het winnen van opdrachten en het uitvoeren van opdrachten (met het modellenbestand). Zulke bureaus verdienen hun geld doordat zij een percentage berekenen bovenop de tarieven van de mensen in hun bestand. De goede bureaus werken met een beperkt bestand van 'vaste' krachten waarvoor zij regelmatig werk hebben.

Slechte bureaus daarentegen verdienen geld aan de modellen, door het rekenen van inschrijfgeld en door verplichte betaalde 'test shoots'. Om deze stelling te onderbouwen reisden wij begin dit jaar af naar Parijs, het mekka van de fashion industry, voor de Paris Model and Talent Convention Conference. Wij bezochten daar de workshop over 'scams' (oplichting, red.). De bekende modellenscout Lionel Dejean van WS2M uit Parijs nam deel aan het panel en was bereid het ons nog een keer uit te leggen.

We vroegen Lionel Dejean of het nodig is inschrijfgeld te betalen, of het nodig is te betalen voor 'test shoots' en of het nodig is geld te betalen voor castings. Lionel Dejean vertelde ons: "Blijkbaar, ondanks alle waarschuwingen in de media, zijn er vandaag nog steeds honderden modellen hier aanwezig (in Parijs, red.) die bereid zijn te betalen voor 'diensten' zoals testshoots, portfolio's, inschrijfgeld en castingoproepen. Ik herhaal de stelregel nog maar eens : betaal nooit voor werk of om opdrachten te krijgen. Het is vrijwel altijd oplichting. Je hebt geen betaalde foto's nodig, stuur gewoon zelfgenomen 'kiekjes' zonder make-up en elke professional kan zien of je het in je hebt om succesvol te worden".

Terug in Nederland bezochten wij The Artist Advice, een adviesbureau dat gerund wordt door Jennifer Delano, zelf model en docente aan de Modelacademy. We vroegen haar hoe een goed bureau te werk gaat. Zij vertelde ons dat goede bureaus voldoende hebben aan 'snapshots', eenvoudige foto's zonder make-up. Als een goed bureau in je gelooft, sturen ze je naar een gerenommeerde fotograaf voor (gratis) testshoots. Met 6 tot 8 verschillende foto's heb je een set-card en zo bouw je een portfolio op van gevarieerde en goede foto's. Jennifer Delano : "Een goed bureau verdient geld, door werk en dus geld voor je te regelen. Elk goed bureau heeft een eigen specifieke groep waarvoor zij werk kan leveren, deze bureaus selecteren dan ook streng en hebben een vast bestand. Immers, zoveel werk is er ook weer niet. Slechte bureaus schrijven vrijwel iedereen in, rekenen hier geld voor aan het model of de acteur, en omdat ze vaak geen werk hebben voor iedereen verdienen ze meer aan het bestand dan aan echte opdrachten. Daarom zie je ook dat slechte bureaus proberen het bestand zoveel mogelijk te 'plukken', met inschrijfgeld hier, verplichte en dure fotoshoots daar, vergoedingen voor plaatsing op de website en ga zo maar door. Ik durf rustig te zeggen, 50% van de bureaus zijn oplichters."

Modeling in Germany - Être mannequin en Allemagne

The arrival of Jelena in Munich is an opportunity to underline the importance of the german market in modeling.

Jelena_java_munich

Not only it is a country many famous designers are originated from ( Boss, Jil Sander, ...), it is also a country which offers many opportunities to do very well paid catalogs or advertising campaigns for models, new faces or already confirmed and over 25 years old.

For all our models we always arrange a representation for them in this major country, which mostly work on direct bookings basis.
