Top 5 New Faces
1. Marine Deleeuw - Can't argue with anyone here, she has the whole package. Youthful but not immature looking, regal one minute and down to earth the next. Her face is emblazoned into my mind.
2. Grace Mahary - I can't deny that it irritated me to no end that she was picked over every other black model/as a token by the time we got to Paris but ultimately she deserved it. She worked hard throughout Fashion Week, starting off a little selective through to her full-on breakthrough in Paris and became more confident on the runway in the process.
3. Kelly Gale - Beautiful face. Unfortunately didn't have a good time in Milan/Paris but I think she got noticed by enough important people (James Scully, Russell Marsh, Karl Templer) before then to start a very nice career and hopefully print season for herself!
4. Martha Hunt - Always love seeing a commercial girl succeed in HF. Martha caught my eye at Jason Wu and has been pretty impressive since then. I'm not quite sure if I will still be feeling her in a few months' time but for now I am.
5. Marikka Juhler - I think Marikka has a kind of early 00s vibe about her which is just what we need right now. She shone throughout NY, but I have to say that the hair cut kind of downgraded her beauty for me. So hopefully her agency encourage her to grow it back!

Top 5 Veterans

1. Ava Smith - kind of hard to avoid

.
2. Tian Yi
3. Monika Jagaciak - really grown up in the last season or so.
4. Jeneil Williams
5. Jasmine Tookes - she had a rough time in Paris but I'm hoping for a rebound next season.

Top Cast Overall
Oscar De La Renta - couldn't really fault any of their picks; very diverse and a solid mix of new and older faces.

Worst Cast Overall
Dior - I expected it for CK but really seeing an important international house like Dior suddenly wipe all colour from their runway (save a few Asian models) felt like a smack in the face.
