IMG Models Management Show Package for Spring 2009

Du Juan is back for her 4th year at the New York Fashion Week. Her last season in NY, Milan and Paris were showing signs of waning but with three major ad campaigns in the pocket this Fall, expect to see her bounce back to the top of the heap.

Notable absence this season on the IMG roster is Emma Pei who did remarkably well in S/S 2007 and F/W 2007/2008. Taking her place is a new Chinese girl (6' tall), Zhu Lin who recently defected from Women to IMG, and was promptly added to the agency's show package.

Trump Models Agency Show Package for Spring 2009

Top model, Hye Park is back for another season in New York City. The recently married model has been appearing on the runways since Fall 2005/Winter 2006 and is not showing any sign of slowing down. In fact, her star is only getting brigher with multiple ad campaigns and Krean Vogue covers in the last year alone.

The other girl on Trump's card is Manchurian/Russian model, Eugenia Mandzhieva. This is her fifth season in New York City (seventh season in Europe) and expect to see her walk for some of the top designers this season.
