Controversy

In February 2017, James Scully, an industry projecting chief — one of various experts who screen and select models for runway shows, promotion missions and magazine photo shoots, with and in the interest of designers — took to the stage to blame Maida Gregori Boina and Rami Fernandes, a noticeablepair of fellow casting directors, of abusing models and exposing them to what he called damaging conditions during  casting process for the fall Balenciaga show.[3]

Based on reports from what he depicted as "a number of girls," he said that Ms. Boina and Mr. Fernandes “made over 150 girls wait in a stairwell told them they would have to stay over 3 hours to be seen and not to leave. In their usual fashion they shut the door went to lunch and turned off the lights.” He additionally blamed the Creative Director for Balenciaga, Demna Gvasalia, and fashion house Lanvin of explicitly mentioning not “to be presented with women of color,”  which he said he had been told by “several agents.”[4]
