Never mind the Pirelli calendar and the world’s top fashion models, United Bamboo is all about diversifying the modelling scene with cat calendars, and Talent Management is a big fan!

The women’s ready-to-wear label may have skipped 2012 – we’re not sure why – but, having shot 24 cats-in-clothes for their 2010 and 2011 editions, they’re now back on the search for 2013′s calendar cats…and thank God, we were starting to run low on cute cat pictures in the office!

Former Heroin Chic Model Jodie Kidd Is Proud Of Her Size 14 Figure

A celebrity mum we can relate to - Jodie Kidd

While many celebrity mums seem able and determined to spring back to their pre-pregnancy size within weeks of giving birth, Talent Management is refreshed to see that well-known model Jodie Kidd isn’t one of them. The 33-year-old mum of one clearly has a far more laid-back attitude about the extra pounds she gained while expecting than a lot of her peers, and ladies in the TM offices can’t help loving her just a little bit more for it.

Just a few years ago in the nineties, Jodie was associated with the bizarre ‘Heroin chic’ trend – so named due to its association with emaciated-looking, pale skinned models sporting dark circles under their eyes. The 33-year-old’s current, far softer and healthier look couldn’t be more different from this distant and not so treasured memory and her confidence shines through.

The last time America’s Next Top Model contestant Angelea Preston came to the attention of staff at modelling agency Models Direct, it was over her mysterious disqualification from the Top Model All Stars competition last year.

According to rumours the 25-year-old was heading for a win before she was disqualified, but broke her non-disclosure agreement, allowing Lisa D’Amato to claim the crown in her place.

Androgynous male model Andrej Pejic has become a firm favourite with Talent Management bloggers ever since he first came to our attention over a year ago. Now this beautiful model is once again back in the spotlight – this time due to an appearance in a bridal wear show at Barcelona Fashion Week, where he walked for Spanish designer Rosa Clara.

Pejic opened the show in a gorgeous, flowing white gown, which featured spaghetti straps and ribbon and lace detailing. Later he appeared in a more structured, textured dress and a matching, cap-sleeved jacket. But this isn’t the first time that Pejic has modelled bridal wear, last year he appeared in a more flamboyant bridal ensemble at the Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture Spring 2011 Fashion Show.

Talent Management has just been checking out the winners from the first ever Government-backed Body Confidence Awards in association with Bare Minerals. Presented by recognised body confidence advocate Jo Swinson MP, the pioneering awards ceremony saw many well-deserved awards handed out. But we felt the need to give a shout out to one of our favourite knitwear designers, Mark Fast, who was acknowledged for introducing a mix of realistically proportioned models within his catwalk shows at London Fashion Week with the The All Walks Beyond the Catwalk Fashion Visionary Award.

Caryn Franklin from All Walks Beyond the Catwalk said of Fast’s acknowledgement: “We are of course delighted and applaud Mark Fast as a creative genius and just as importantly, a thought leader. His desire to create inclusive fashion messaging was something we all celebrated, back in May 2009, when Mark was amongst the first to accept the All Walks challenge to design a sample garment for a curvy model.”

Natalia Vodianova Is The Easter Bunny On Tatler's May Cover

Last month, the bloggers here at Talent Management told you all about model Natalia Vodianova’s “it’s better to be skinny than to be fat!” comment. It was the 30 year old’s response to British Vogue’s Calgary Avansino’s question about what message thin models should be sending out, and ever since she made it, an influx of opinionated comments have ensued.

As has been the case across the net, on our modelling agency’s Facebook page, we saw mixed option and debate. One commenter wrote: “Surely it’s more important to be healthy you can be underweight which is just as dangerous as overweight!!!!!” While another wrote: “I totally agree it’s better to be skinny than to be fat. Most girls who potray a curvier image are still loosing weight to be thinner and promoting slim loss products like Kim Kardashian. So, I think Natalie’s just being real and every girl would like to be thinner because it makes you feel better.”
