The naked truth:
a body-colored thong, a black or white bra and high-heeled shoes - these are just some of the demands of a modeling agent, who asked his clients to send him a video for catalog photos for two big brands - who deny any connection to him.
This is Agent Eitan Sharon, who addressed the models and actresses in the following message: "This coming Thursday at the number 1 photographer in Israel ... Please send me an up-to-date photo with lingerie and a video for WhatsApp (so that I can send you to audition."
Regarding the reason for the appeal, Sharon stated that he "holds the audition and produces the catalog for the lingerie companies Bonita de Mas and Aphrodite."
Even before checking the facts, suspicion arose regarding the reliability of the announcement, since these are two competing companies, and it is not acceptable for the same agent to produce catalogs for them at the same time.
Following his bizarre announcement, the agent demanded from the women to whom he addressed the following: "I owe models with a 75C or 75D bra, no less."
And that's not all.
Sharon goes on to state more and more demands from his clients: "Please arrive according to the following explanation: Bottom: Body color thong; Bra: Body color or black or white; Shoes: Highest heel You have a heeled sandal; Hair: Wash clean and tidy; Face: Clean to be Basic makeup. "
It should be emphasized that factors in the fashion industry and leading modeling agents say that it is not at all acceptable to request a video as described in Sharon's announcement.
"Large companies like the ones mentioned want to meet the model first, and only then are the models of the brand measured on it," says a senior source.
As stated, Bonita de Mas denies any connection to this agent and states that "Naaman Group, the owner of the Bonita de Mas brand, has no connection with Eitan Sharon."
Aphrodite's company responded: "We deny any connection to this audition. It will not be done with the knowledge, approval and consent of the company."
It should be noted that despite Aphrodite's denial, Sharon presented us with a past collaboration and correspondence with the brand's VP of marketing from six months ago.
Sharon responded: "I have been working in the local and international industry for over 30 years. Auditions held all over the world for lingerie require you to come with high heels, a body-colored thong and a matching bra and sheer nail polish. I did not intend to hurt or write inappropriate or immodest words in proofreading the text. "And if there were words that hurt the same, I will represent compensation on the day of the photo shoot."
