How do you feel about the recent exodus of a lot of the major campaigns (Gucci, YSL, and Valentino) to LA locales?

I think it's great that the major campaigns are shooting on the West Coast. The beauty and climate makes it a perfect year round location to shoot in. I think everyone is looking for another South Beach and LA has endless potential for space, environment, and talent. From the mountains to the beaches, from the deserts to Hollywood, California the beautiful!

Soon people will also realize that the models living in LA are as good as any in the world. It just doesn't make sense to me to fly a model all the way from New York to shoot in LA.

How has MODELS.com's on-line scouting been working for you?

The MODELS.com on-line scouting system works very nicely for me because I'm able to target the geographical areas that are conducive to bringing talent into the LA market. I'm not really interested in getting a girl from the East Coast and developing her, when it would make much more sense for her to go to New York. The people that have contacted me through the scouting system have been very good about getting me what I need to further their careers. I'm really looking forward to using it in the future.
