This fit model for Jil Sander is Ekaterina Matantceva, not Petkova!

Thana Kuhnen may also be a fit model for Jean Paul Gaultier.

Fendi - Andreea Stancu

Alexander McQueen - Polina Kasina

Louis Vuitton - Ekat Kiseleva

Dior & John Galliano - Viviane Orth (I think she may also be one for Alexis Mabille)

Marc Jacobs' fit model is called Shelly, or was, but I can't find anything about her...

 

[StoneSkipper]

Bill Gaytten's could very well be Hedvig-Marie Maigre...her sudden runway appearance makes me think so.
And if I'm not mistaken, Alexis Mabille's sister Myrthe was a fit model for quite some time.

if Vivianne Orth is fit model for Dior/Galliano, what about Michaela Kocianova? she also walked almost all recent shows for both brands.

 

[TREVOFASHIONISTO]

Viviane I knew was a fit model from the September issue, she's been doing it for quite some time. Michaela is just a favorite of Galliano's I believe

who become a fit model/ what is the point of it? these models have the best, most perfect body in the opinion of designers?

fit models are actually paid quite well usually because they have to maintain a certain body standard for the designer's looks. They are the body measurements that each collection will be based off of. I am assuming models who necessarily are not popular on the runways or in editorials will take the job because it guarantees them a paycheck every season. It is time consuming as well so they cannot always do a million and one shows.

Is she still fit-modeling for Versace?

Teri-Ann Frencken was Rick Owens' fit model for quite some time, too, right?

Yes, Hedvig was Dior's fitting model for the last two years and from June 2012 she'll become the fit model for John Galliano brand.

Veronika Vranova is new the new Lanvin fit model, too.

Yes. I think she was replaced by Asia Bugajska.

Yes. Shelly Zander is her name. She's in the Marc Jacobs x Louis Vuitton documentary.

She also walked several times for Rick Owens and Dries van Noten.

Some of these girls have extraordinary looks to them, im surprised they limit themselves really to one designer and nothing else.
