Finally ! Daphne Groeneveld is apparently now represented by Women Paris according to the blog of Women Paris.
Daphne, darling of Mert & Marcus, already did a Miu Miu ad campaign and is in the new Givenchy ad campaign.
Daphne is also represented by Union in London and Women in Milan.

It had to be NY first because the switch of Paul Rowland had an impact across the Whole Europe ! Why Paris for the Part 2 ? Because Paris saw a well established agency taking over its position of leader and the creation of new agency poaching a troop of supermodels and highly promising new faces from other established agencies...

January 
Masha Kirsanova switched from Viva to Elite and is now in the new Spring 11 Marc Jacobs ad campaign. A smart move with real effect one year after...Hopefully Masha will now be everywhere.

February
Flo Gennaro moved from Women to Viva and was in French ELLE with Mondino and in the FW 10 ad campaign of Guy Laroche a few months later. Better than with Women... Chanel Iman left Viva for Elite before moving later for IMG.

March
Caroline Trentini moved from IMG to Women... Lovely but nothing great happened for her in France in 2010.

April
Anabela Belikova switched from IMG to Silent, was on the cover of Vogue Russia and poached the M Missoni FW 10 ad campaign but more recently where is she ? Yulia Kharlapanova moved from Women to Elite Paris. And ?
First side effects of the Paul Rowland's earthquake with Rose Cordero and Ranya Mordanova switching from Women to Elite . Snejana moved from Women to Silent... No surprise as Women NY and Silent shared already Isabeli, Carmen and more recently Madisyn. Will she back in Vogue Paris one day ?

May
Kristy Kaurova moved from Major to Women and Samantha Gradoville also moved from Major to IMG later in 2010. Not always funny to belong to a network. Of course Anna Jagodsinka switched from Next to Elite... Antonella Maria Graef, Dafne Cejas, Hanne Gaby Odiele, Alana Zimmer, Karolin Wolter, Tao Okamoto, Daiane Conterato moved from Women to Elite. A gift from Paul ! Tough for Women as they really did a great job for all these girls... I think of Alana and her first major editorial story in Numéro...
Ariel Meredith left Elite (too crowded...) for IMG. And ?

June
Karmen Pedaru also left Next for Elite but it took ages to see her name on the Elite website... Legal aspect ? Reina Montero left Women for Elite... Elite needed to hire bookers ! Desperately actually... So many new girls coming and so few girls leaving. Nothing to complain about...

Summer
Valerija Kelava left Next Paris and was nowhere... Agnete Hegelund left Ford for Next and Noemie Lenoir left also Ford but for Elite.

September
Chanel Iman left Elite for IMG and Jessica Miller left Next for IMG (even if she is not credited yet for legal reason). International moves of networks... 

October
Querelle Jansen is back and not with City models she left (like many other models recently. Sad actually) for Nathalie. She did the Giles Deacon fashion show and is strongly rumored to be in the new Miu Miu Spring 2011 ad campaign for our big big big pleasure. Smart move. Nicola Haffmans moved discreetly from Next to Silent. Results expected soon like for Ymre Stiekema who left Elite for Viva ealier this year and who is supposed to be back soon in the French publications... Viva where Elsa Sylvan left for a new agency still unknown... Same story for Tara Gill, Fabiana Semprebom and Marcelina Sowa more recently. Olga Kurylenko, Ex James Bond girl, left Women to go back to Next...

November
Big Surprise...... Suddenly we heard a rumor that a new agency was born in October for the fashion shows. An agency called "Oui". It means Yes in French and therefore conveys a very positive message well heard by many supermodels especially Valerija Kelava who was expected to arrive at Elite Paris like Anna and Karmen... In a few weeks, Valerija was followed by Eden Clark and Rie Rasmussen leaving Elite, Tasha Tilberg and Kirsten Owen leaving Marilyn, Liliana Dominguez leaving City, Linda Vojtova leaving Nathalie, Inguna Butane and Ana-Claudia Michels leaving Women, Lizzy Jagger leaving IMG... All the well established French agencies were "contibuting" to the immediate success of Oui management... It became quite obvious that One management and Ford in NY (Paul...) and Tess in London were strongly sponsoring the project... One management even offered to Oui the Parisian representation of the Iconic Tanga Moreau and Ford NY offered to Oui the golden gemstone Mayara Rubik Marchi ! Will Tess will do the same in 2011 with the also iconic Georgia May Jagger ?
Addison Gill moved from Women to Marilyn but Hyun Yi Lee left Major for Women and Lily Cole & Ines Sastre left Marilyn for IMG (Storm's influence ?) while Ekat Kiseleva left Silent for IMG... Do you still follow all these moves ?

December
Anaïs Pouliot, the French girl in W (Paolo Roversi) and Vogue Japan (Dan Jackson) said bye bye to Women for Elite. Darya Kurovska left Women for Elite (did we tell you that Ford NY does not like to work with the Women or Next European networks)... Vanessa Lorenzo left City for IMG... Hilary Rhoda and Caroline Trentini were not on the websites of IMG Paris and Women Paris when I closed this article... Only maintenance ?

2010 was THE year for Elite (many thanks Paul !) and was the year of the start of new promising agency called Oui management. 2010 was probably a bad year for Women and Next (both victims of the Ford NY/Supreme episode), Major, City, Ford and Marilyn for the number of girls poached by other agencies.

2010 was THE year of new blood with Game models in March and Oui management in October.

2010 was also THE year when the brilliant Frederika Levy, the late founder and Director of City models (1980), decided to move from this planet to Heaven in April. Carla Bruni, Helena Christensen, Anastasia Barbieri, Chandra North, Carolyn Murphy, Carmen Kaas, Teresa Lourenco, Ines Sastre, Ana Claudia Michels, Nina Brosch, Emma Balfour, Jamie Bochert, Chrystele Saint-Louis Augustin, Kim Inglinsky, the relooked Eva Herzigova, An Oost, Christina Kruse, Querelle Janssen, Hye Park and Polina Kuklina... They all participated to the success of the City agency of rue Jean Mermoz, the "Think different" City of Frederika. RIP Frederika. Hopefully City will make a strong come back in 2011. Top of my wish list for 2011 actually. 
Which French model agency will be the first one to credit on its website, blog or facebook wall a "new" model freshly poached ? Waiting for your best bets ! Happy Xmas

Sources: thefashionspot.com and many hours spent on the websites of the agencies...

The switches of Ford NY girls in Europe are still happening... Darya Kurovska has just moved from Women to Elite Paris.
Darya is already with Elite Milan (where she had moved from Women), Premier in London and Ford in NY. 

Although Janaina is not listed yet on the website of Marilyn Paris, she has an editorial story in the January 2011 issue of French BIBA magazine where she is credited as a model of Marilyn...

Mistake of BIBA. Janaina never joined Marilyn after Viva... (Dec 25, 2012).

Janaina Reis is also represented by NY models and Select in London. I can't find her tonight on the website of Why Not in Milan...

Spanish supermodel Vanessa Lorenzo just switched from City and is back to IMG Paris. Vanessa is also with IMG in NY and London.

City models lost recently Chiara Baschetti, Liliana Dominguez and Querelle Jansen. 2010 is a tough year for the agency.
