Janice Dickinson Barred from Fashion Week


America’s Next Top Model former judge, Janice Dickinson, has been told to stay away from all the events of IMG, an international modeling agency with offices in New York, Paris, London, Milan and Singapore. Last week, she caused a commotion during the Los Angeles Fashion Week, which resulted to her embargo.


According to the San Francisco Chronicle, she refused to accept her designated seat at the ED Hardy fashion show at Smashbox Studios. Instead, she took a seat along the edge of the runway, which supposedly belonged to Fashion week organizer Fern Mallis. Following this, Davis Factor, co-creator of Smashbox personally confronted her which prompted Dickinson to vacate her seat.


Unfortunately, all the drama increased as she reportedly claimed she'd broken her toe. Later, Dickinson was caught backstage inserting her foot into a large tub of ice reserved for sponsored beverages.


Janice Dickinson, a 52-year old self-proclaimed first supermodel, is also known as an actress, fashion photographer, author and agent. As a writer, she launched several books like No Lifeguard On Duty, Everything About Me is Fake... And I'm Perfect, and Check Please!: Dating, Mating, and Extricating. As a model, she appeared on the cover of Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, Cosmopolitan and Playboy among others. Her popularity escalated with her stint on America’s Next Top Model. As a notorious judge on America’s Next Top Model, she straightforwardly expressed her judgment and bold remarks, which made her a distinct feature of the show.

Prior to the fifth season of America’s Next Top Model, it was made public that Dickinson was not coming back due to her pursuit of other ventures. After her stint on America’s Next Top Model, Dickinson became busy with her own modeling agency and she also launched her own reality series with the same title, The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency.
