Loving this. Thanx H. Had to take some time to recuperate and evaluate. Its been a rocky season. And sorry I totally cheated in numbers and categories, there are more models than ever, sue me.
Top 5 new faces 1 Ashleigh Good
Just love the crap out of this girl. Cant really explain why, dont really think she is a stayer though. 2 Juliet Ingleby
Really classic old skool stunner, insane body. Baby Malgosia. Could possibly last. 3 Agne Konciute
Together with Lin Kjerulf & Mila Krasnoiarova representing a classical North East Euripede kind of beauty. Very expensive and addictive kind of look. Cant get enough of either one, hence I count them as 1. 4 Michon van As
Thanx for reminding me. My jaw literally dropped when I saw her at Pilotto in LNDN. Echoes of an immaculate young Ymre. I could be wrong though, few appearances, limited context. 5 Kristin Kragh Liljegren
That Balenciaga opening is etched in my retinas. Future star.
Many other faces made an impression, many of them named here in this thread and on MDC, but bonus love needs to go to Zoe Colivas, Romy Shönberger & Manon Leloup ( future brunette trinity). Also thanx to Givenchy for giving me Kadriana, and what about a bit of tlc for Stina Rapp Wastenson?
I had to split the next category in two, but I limited the damage.
Favorite Veterans Iselin, Kirsten, Magda. All convincing appearances, all of them. PRO's. Favorite Repeaters 1 Juliana Schurig
We all know we want to see more of her coming editorial season. Stunning blonde amazon. Came back in style. 2 Iris van Berne
Killed with a sizzling runway trail. Always liked her somewhat 'hautain' look, but maybe now with the exposure she's had this season some top photographers will awknowledge her amazing print potential. 3 Janice Seinen Alida & Bo Don
Both caught exclusive revived attention through a haircut even though we all know thats no guarantee whatsoever.
Best cast overall Theory by Oliver Theyskens Everyone worked well with the wig. Overall identity was strong, homogenous but individual at the same time. And Gaultier for the fun, exuberance and perfect typecasting that we need in a recession season. Bonus love for Marni, Missoni, Wang & MiuMiu. Worst cast overall Blumarine. I wanted tacky sluts, not 'me too' High Fashion. Calvin for the pretense and wobbly spectrum and more or less most casts that had Cara D. walking non-ironically.

For the castings, I don't know, I don't have anything striking in mind...
Hmm the only new faces I really cared about were Yumi Lambert Hedvig Palm
Aaaand I know she's not new, but Vanessa Axente finally caught my eye.
As for veterans, Iselin Steiro looked perfect in every show she did. Aymeline Valade killed it as usual Anais Mali looked beautiful as ever.
Sad to see Jac slowing down because she's never looked better.
Ooh and it was a pleasure seeing Anna Selezneva open Versace!
Miu Miu was, without a doubt, the best cast of the season!!
The worst casts were all those white bread casts with zero diversity, bleh

1. Yumi Lambert: She's just sooo stunning! Such a rare beauty that makes her stand out.
2. Mila Krasniorova: Beautiful blue eyes with amazing bone structure.
3.Nastya Kusakina: She has this innocent look and big dolly eyes which make her look more stunning.
Top 5 Veterans
1. Karlie Kloss: She was everywhere in NY. Opened and closed so many shows. You just can't not notice her. Hahaha
