Wow! Olga Sherer started in 2004???!!!!!

Btw Angela Lindvall signed with IMG in 1993 (nymag) so I think she walked for many designers from the mid 90's..

Alison Nix - Tommy Hilfiger S/S 2006 New York (debut) Where is she now??!

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley - Vivienne Tam S/S 2005 New York (or Esteban Cortazar, Nicole Miller etc don't know the calendar of that season plus small shows in London the seasons before)

Romina Lanaro - Prada F/W 2004.05 Milan (debut) so many girls started with Miuccia!!!

thanks everyone, especially AlbertNoir for all the updates!
its sooo interetsing to see all of the models careers and to look back in the old fashion times. a lot of suprises here!
unfortunately the longer you go back the harder is it to find the correct datas, since the model threads weren't so updated like nowadays. I tried to find Anna Js first show but gave up.. I just dont know the exact dates and the schedule of that time and that makes it alle more difficult. I only know it must've been the FW04 season... does anybody know?

 

[papa_levante]

^ Just because they're the earliest photos on style.com, does that necessarily mean it's a model's first "big" show?

 

[LiranYana]

what i find interesting is how some of these models haven't ever made it "big" or started a couple of years ago (some even seasons...) and they have already been dropped..

Modeling is by far the most fickled industry there is
that's why I commend those who have the lasting power

opening a show is your debut, campaign for a year you are a new Face,
2 years you are established, 4 years you are a top model, 7-10 years you are a Supermodel and more than 10 years of lasting power you are an Icon
aka the peak Miss Kate Moss

Vika's first show ever was actually Issey Miyake S/S 07

She then did Albino F/W 07.08.

Her first "big" show was probably Gianfranco Ferre S/S 08.
