    5. Hindi naman regular na work ang pagiging vs model, kung kelan lang may rampa. Mga kilalang supermodel lang naman ang nagsu survive sa pagiging vs model.

  5. Back to local kasi wala jobs abroad. Wala na VS. I see her on print ads for fast fashion sites na lang pati na Target. She didn't even get to land a major catwalk during any Fashion Week.

    1. Gurl, rumampa ang lola mo sa fashion week sa Italy before the lockdown. bago ka mangbash, make sure to do some research, okurrr?

    2. Saka she landed spreads in Sports Illustrated Magazine, kung hindi mo alam yun, search mo na lang.

    3. Grabe! She's still being represented by the Society sa US - Viva lang for local gigs. BTW, not all VS Angels gets to walk the runway during the Fashion Week esp in Europe. You have to be very known to land that gig (to open or close the show); they would give the other parts sa mga local models. And Kelsey is just starting her career. And she's doing well for a newcomer -shes still in VS websites, partners with Revolve, and has some other ads in the US. Bat ganon mga Pinoy? It takes a lot of work and luck to become very succesful in her field. Give her a break!

  7. Pursue na lang nya ang modelling sayang naman yung nasimulan na nya abroad

  8. Sadly, kahit as influencer di rin sya makita. Mostly kasi ng followers nya Pinoy, eh kahit marami raming likes ang post di ata nagrereflect sa sales ng ineendorse/advertise nya.

    1. Yup that is how it works sa sales.

      A good example is yung mga indian celebrities. very common yung 10-20 million followers online pero hirap parin makapenetrate sa US/western industry. Iilan lang talaga yung nakakahatak ng western followers.

      Pabugsobugso yung mga print ads nya sa mga local stores like target pero usually hindi yun high paying job and they are not using her dahil sa pangalan nya.

      Victoria Secret palang yung brand na kumuha sa kanya para makahatak ng asian/pinoy followers pero as you can see lubog na rin ang VS. VS tried to get influencer/ models instead of high fashion models para humatak ng followers pero sadly hindi enough at pabagsak na talaga ang VS. Since then Wala pa syang gig kung saan yung brand eh kinuha sya para humatak ng followers.

      She needs to reinvent herself. Solidfying her career locally is a good start.

  9. Bankrupt na ang VS. Slowly closing na mga stores nila.

    2. Actually di lang VS andaming brick and mortar stores ang nagsasara, forever 21 nagfile ng bankruptcy because of online shopping giants like amazon.

      Delete
    3. Gosh 9:04. Obviously, its not her or any VS models' fault. Sadya lng tlga nalaos ang VS since nagbago ang market (inclusion to every figure and gender which VS cant keep up due to their boss) and nasawa n ang tao

      Delete
  10. Halla? Eh maganda pa naman yung agency nya ngayon sa US, tsaka dami niya lagi shoots. Balik Pinas na sya? Parang dami nga nya print ads dun e. Bakit kaya

    ReplyDelete
  11. Baka naman VIVA ang mag hahandle ng projects nya when it comes to Ph endorsements. Sila mag aayos for her etc, basta mga projects sa pinas sila ang mag handle. Tapos yung agent nya sa US, for US projects. Kayo naman! bash kayo agad

    1. Yes, Viva is only for projects here in the Phil sayang din kung may offer sya dito. She is still based in the US and she has existing contract with a modeling agency there.

      Delete
    2. That’s what i thought too. Work is still work plus this is where she started anyways.

      Delete
    3. True kung pakapanghusga mga sizt parang kay puputi ng singit kaloka.

      Delete
    4. Hmmm wala naman masyadong nag.ba.bash. naiisip lang nila parang step downwards yung move kase international na ang gigs nya

    1. ano kinalaman ni Kylie dito..

  13. did she really pursue modeling? like pumupunta ba Shas sa mga gosees? I think she can get booking gigs if she's really passionate about esp di mo she macategorise kung anong race nya.

  14. Tapos na ang glory days ng VS.

  15. Db may mga Hollywood friends naman yung jowa nya? Bakit di sya manghingi ng tulong sa mga yun para magka-work doon?

    1. For local lang naman siguro.

    2. Kahit meron connection, kung wla k nman maibibigay, wla din mangyayari sayo.

  16. Seguro para yan sa mga projects nya sa PINAS. For her projects in the US, her management is The Society.

  17. naku bakit viva. Gagawin ka lang cheapangga nyan. Si kylie lang na dating ang class ng dating nung kinuha ng viva nawala ang class..

  18. Di sya bagay sa ad ng Lilly Pulitzer na nakita ko, di kasi mukhang sosyalera ang Lola mo, mas bagay sya sa hubadan like VS.

    1. No, you're just a hater. Bagay na bagay kaya sya dun... Versatile kasi mukha ni Kelsey. Pwedeng exotic vavavoom VS model tapos pwede din sweet debutante. Mas tumatatak nga sya kesa dun sa kasama nya sa lilly pulitzer na model.

      Delete
    2. She’s been doing their fashion ads for 2 years now, they shot in Bahamas and Miami so the people behind Lilly Pulitzer must like her. Tsaka di man ikaw market nila middle class to upperclass white ang consumers nila. Mahal ng damit nila kahit nakasale na.

      Delete
    3. I got lilly pulitzer clothes in my closet. Di lang middle class at upper class 'white' ang target market nila FYI. POC as well! @12:36

  19. Sinabi lang na Viva Artist sya- dami nyo nang haka haka. Gosh!

    ReplyDelete
  20. That’s smart for her to get an agency here while she has modeling agency in the US. She can come home for vacation and work at the same time.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Hindi ganun kadali mgkaron ng career sa US.wala syang talent for acting.kulang sa height kahit sa fashion week di sya kinukuha

    1. Baks, ang Viva para lang sa mga projects nya sa pinas. Her projects outside the Philippines will be managed by The Society.At marami syang raket ngayon...she does photo shootsfor brands like aritzia kahit nasa bahay lang sya. si Conor yong photographer nya dahil sa quarantine. Oh by the way, rumampa ang lola mo sa Fashion Week sa Italy.

  22. Nag-umpisa nang magsara ang mga branches ng V.S. dito sa America.

    1. Ning,hindi naman sya SALES LADY ng VS. she just walked the runway for VS... Nonetheless,an international modelling career is cut throat and she must be struggling

  23. Irrelevant pa din siya

    ReplyDelete
  24. ibig nya sabihin she will be represented by Viva in the Philippines

    ReplyDelete
  25. Maka-bash naman kayo, mas stable nga viva, guaranteed may work ka for twenty years 😂

    ReplyDelete
  26. Wala ng career sa u.s.?

    ReplyDelete
  27. Hindi siya babalik sa Pilipinas. Viva lang mag handle ng endorsements nya sa Pinas

    ReplyDelete
  28. She clarified your questions on her IG stories. She is not moving back to Phil and she’s still based in the US. She has work in the Phil so she needs an agency to represent her that’s why she signed with Viva. She has multiple agencies representing her in different cities( NY, LA, London, Milan, Paris )and now Philippines.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Hindi naman kasi sya VS angel talaga. She is one of the many nameless models who got to walk the runway. Then naging catalog model na. Nandun pa rin sya sa levels ng struggling models sa US. She's 23. In the US modeling world, gurang na yun. Napaglipasan na ng panahon. Anyway, Goodluck naman sa kanya sa viva. Sorry yassi ang Bela, may bagong fave na.

  30. Based on the “bakit balik Pinas trabaho” comments,
    matapobre at mapanglait talaga mga Failipinoise.
    Pero galit na galit kapag ibang lahi nangmamaliit sa kanila 🤷🏻‍♂️

  31. Parang demotion ang nangyari sa kanya.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Ano nyare balik local?

    ReplyDelete
  33. You probably don’t have a clue on how the fashion industry works. High fashion doesn't pay much unless you are the girl in demand for the shows or are lucky enough to land campaigns.....steady commercial/catalog work pays big bucks. Why do you think many of today's models choose to do this sort of work while they are waiting for their "Big Break"?.... and their agencies love their cut. It’s actually great that Kelsey is getting booked consistently with other brands for fashion ads or ecommerce besides VS. I saw her big aritzia billboard when I went to Mall of America in St paul last year. It is a cutthroat industry and she’s lucky she got signed with one of the top Agency in the US.

  34. Talangkang chismosa talaga ang mga Pinoy. Pag hindi A list sikat nilalait pero pag halfie na biglang sumikat doon makikicelebrate. Not a fan of viva kasi ang cheap Lang nitong pa welcome effect kasi.
