A modeling agency that represents women of all sizes? In an industry that likes to categorize women--as "straight size" (0-2) or "plus size" (12-16)--it's a revolutionary concept. But that's just what former Ford agents Gary Dakin and Jaclyn Sarka, both of whom co-directed Ford's plus board for many years, have done in setting up their new agency JAG.

While waiting for the Alexander Wang show to start, I went over and introduced myself to the CEO of the CFDA, Steven Kolb. A truly gracious and nice guy, he thankfully had no hard feelings about us turning him into Kermit the Frog. With that behind us, I asked him about the issue du jour, underage models walking in New York fashion week, and the CFDA's latest stance. Last week in the wake of a New York Times article, Ford Models went on the record saying that they used underaged models on a "case-by-case basis alongside a prospective model’s parents."

Show Packages: think of them as baseball cards for the fashion set. For casting directors, they're pertinent to their jobs in the days leading up to Fashion Week, but for the rest of us... well, they're another excuse to ogle pretty faces, and take a look at who will be gracing the runways during the upcoming week.
