Predict Style.com's Top Ten New Faces for F/W 08.09

[Trista]

See I'd put Alice in the dark horse list, she's done a few shows (Proenza being the largest) however if the Prada option comes through it's going to be insanity. Abbey Lee is an unknown to me in the sense that she's either going to sweep up a la McNeil a few seasons ago, or she'll fizzle out. Adina is pretty much a shoo-in for me, ditto on Kamila. These are the best predictions I can make for now, because many times NY's stars fizzle in the later weeks and Paris and Milan will make the new stars (a la Hilary Rhoda back in her first season, doing nothing really until Balenciaga). It is going to be one interesting season for me watching (and hoping for that Prada option...).

I wouldn't say your list impacts my decision but when I saw your list it was more or less the same as my list. Your hot list is the exact same as mine with the additions of Anna Gushina and Natalia Schueroff.

[Mr-Dale]

yaars, has Kasia Zych done any shows? I am not familiar with her...

[baddabling]

Georgina Stojilkovic - everywhere, all over the place
Abbey Lee - heavily promoted, and doing very well

[youarearockstar]

She did the Arthur Mendonca show...I honestly thought she would perform much better. Who knows, maybe they're saving her for Europe, but it could be that she was just not well received.

I have to update my list after the Marc show tonight; that above list of mine will be severely paired down.

Yes, something about 2, but it's not her time yet. It will come though

I'm 99% sure Eniko will appear on the list. She has the face and huge number of shows she took a part in + other lists love her [elle for example]

[youarearockstar]

Well, New York Fashion Week is over so I suppose it's time for me to rehash my original predictions and start to rethink where certain girls rank and how successful they've been.

The Hot List :
Abbey Lee Kershaw - Simply everywhere!
Kamila Filipcikova - Meisel/Marsh darling and Vogue Italia cover girl.
Diana Farkhullina - CK Exclusive.
Heloise Guerin - Fairly strong showing, best may be yet to come.
Malin Ones - Walking CK helped her stock in a big way.
Anna Gushina - Opened Proenza, walks CK, MxMJ, and Marc Jacobs.
Aline Weber - Walked CK, opened Johnathan Saunders.
Natalia Schueroff - Quite buzzworthy, walked CK, Philosophy, and MxMJ.
Alice Burdeu - Proenza, Rad Hourani, Marc Jacobs.
Kate Somers - Certainly has the potential to keep succeeding.

The Watch List :
Gantz Gilles, Iris Strubegger, Vika Kuropyatnikova, Adina Forizs, Karmen Pedaru, Natasha Belebrevik, Lovisa Ingman

The Dark Horse List :
Alana Kuznetsova, Austria Ullowa, Lyoka Tyagnereva, Skye Stacke, Georgina Stojilkovic, Daria Strokous, Lizelot Rippen

I suppose that's really just how I'm perceiving things at the moment, but I think we all know that Milan will really make or break some, as well as introduce us to quite a few new faces I'm sure. Still, London comes first, and I'll be keeping a watchful eye on the Christopher Kane show, which usually has incredibly casting.

[Common_1031]

Abbey Lee FOR SURE!!..and i think Jourdan might have a chance..if she does well in Malin and paris

[youarearockstar]

^Jourdan has had a superb season in NYC, but her success has never carried over into Milan or Paris, but we shall see. Regardless of how well she does, I just cannot see them adding her to the list as this is her third season now.

[alix*]

I'm going to have to add Malin Ones & Anna Gushina to my list. (I still stand by my other three models).

Also, quite naturally there will be some hype with Diana F. Have to see whether she had a city exclusive or a Toni exclusive...(Does anyone know?)

I'm crossing my fingers for Paul. Hopefully she'll be on the runway more in Europe. I don't think NY is really the place for her.

[Mr-Dale]

Let me compile a list as well...I usually don't after NYC because it's almost always pointless, but this time I have a feeling that it would be enormously weird if some of the NY successes wouldn't extend to Europe. So here are who are on my hotlist... In no particular order:

Abbey Lee Kershaw: Dirrrrty or not, your type or not, you can not deny her enormous success. A pre-hyped girl is always dangerous, but tell that to Marc, Oscar, Ralph or the entire New York fashion scene and I guarentee you that they won't listen. Can you say omnipresent?
Kamila Filipcikova: Her showlist might not be superhuge, but it's stille quite impressive. She knew how to get into the Max Azria casts and Anna Sui as one of the few new girls among the top of the notchers. Marc Jacobs is also appreciative and so is Steven Meisel...such timing to land a Vogue Italia cover.
Jourdan Dunn: Has indeed been around for several seasons, but she was hardly ever as succesful as she was this time. Whereas she only did Marc Jacobs as one of the big ones previously, this time around that coveted sho was just one of many. Oscar dela Renta, Michael Kors, Vera Wang, Proenza Schouler, Carolina Herrera...should I continue?
Georgina Stojilkovic: Perhaps not the most impressive season, but oh my sweet lord is this girl amazing! DKNY, Vera Wang, Max Azria, BCBG, you name it. To add to that, with a face and walk like that, you just know Europe should be melting over her already. Bring on the avalanche!
Margaryta Senchylo: I have a feeling she is gonna sneak up from behind and yell SURPRISE as she will concur Europe. Watch her, with all those campaigns, editorials and covers already under her belt. You cannot ignore her.
Adina Forizs: Flew under style.com's radar last season, but her Prada/MiuMiu exclusive certainly converted into a succesfull New York season. Pretty much everyone had to have her.
Malin Ones: Calvin Klein, Marc Jacobs, Proenza Schouler, all the castings that mattered. Plus many, many more...
Lovisa Ingman: She did lots of biggies (MxMJ, Zac Posen, Donna Karan) and we already know that a certain casting director with the magic hands loves her, so at this time she's a sure lock for me.
Anna Gushina: To open Proenza Schouler is one thing, but to then also stomp your way through the hyped runways of both the Marc shows and Calvin Klein is another. Put her on the Trans-Atlantic asap!
Alana Kuznetsova: Last seasons Marsh adoration continued into the Jonather Saunders show. The overall adoration founds its way onto the catwalks of Proenza Schouler, Vera Wang, Zac Posen and not to forget, the Givenchy couture runway last month.

Watchlist:
Diana Farkhulina, Skye Stracke, Iris Struberger, Claudia Seiler, Katrriina Okane, Heloise Guerin, Kate Somers, Pei Bei (!), Gantz Gilles, Daria Strokous and many more.

I would hardly call Jourdan Dunn a fresh face...she has been around for about 3 seasons. This is her breakout season, but not her debut

[Mr-Dale]

^I'm not denying that...but Olga Sherer wasn't new as well when she landed the spot on the style.com top 10...that was also her breakout season, so...

[youarearockstar]

^Actually, Olga was never on the list. The F/W 07.08 season where she finally came into her own, all Olga got was a mention in the blurb before the actual list. I think we were all a little shocked by her absence at the time, but looking back over career she had certainly been around for a few season.

[mikel]

I love this kind of speculation. I think Abby Lee, Kamilla F, Diana F will def. be in the list. Girls like Sky, Malin, Adina F and Aline W also have a good chance and maybe Jordan Dunn.
