FMD (Fashion Model Directory) Rankings (IFDAQ)

[Style Savvy]

Launching soon.
"The IFDAQ is the first automated quotation system for the fashion modeling industry, calculated from decisive factors which guarantee an accurate and precise rating of a professional fashion model"

Should be interesting.

 

[wangster]

this is going to be interesting. I hope it keeps its promises

 

[MyNameIs]

Sounds interesting but will probably end up being a complete disaster. I just don't think you can have 'objective' rankings really. There are just too many variables to take into account and they don't all serve to be translated to some sort of point system.

 

[theomessico]

I was lucky to have the chance to beta test the IFDAQ and can't wait to see it online. It's unlike the other paid rankings, based on the performance of the model. No Lara Stone at N°1 at all!

 

[alonsoJonathan]

hmmmmm?cant wait. when will we know?

Not sure how long ago this was put into place, but the Fashion Model Directory now has rankings for models on their site. The rankings are generated by IFDAQ, which stands for International Fashion Digital Automated Quantification, “a powerful AI-system that provides infinite insight into the real market and benchmark value of the fashion industry and its professionals.“

I believe the rankings change slightly on a daily basis. I’ll try to update the top 50 models on their list’s rankings as often as possible - each week should come with quite a few changes.

44. Anne Vyalitsyna

46. Imaan Hammam
47. Fei Fei Sun
48. Sara Sampaio
49. Blanca Padilla
50. Kris Grikaite

(Candice Swanepoel is currently ranked at 51.)

I’d say the list is equally comprised of longevity, star power, versatility and relevance in the industry, so I wouldn’t find it an inaccurate depiction. However, it’s not as current and in-touch with today as the rankings we have here, which I ideally like to see model rankings based off of.

 

[modela]

This list doesn't make any sense , Andreea is above Doutzen Daria has left the game , Anne V is more relevant than Candice I could go on and on.....

 

[mathiaskatz]

I'm surprised there's no Naomi.

 

[littlekiki]

This list looks like it was made in 2015. Vanessa Moody? Arizona Muse? Lindsey Wixson?

 

[Armani]

Quite a few changes for one day. Figured I’d update.

[bluebanter]

What a strange list....

 

[wendylorene]

How is Adut at 30?

 

[dsamg]

Where is their data even coming from?

 

[littlekiki]

They must weigh longevity in the industry pretty heavily. Many of these models haven't done relevant work in a few years.

 

[helmutnotdead]

this is a joke.

No Julia Nobis? haha

 

[dsamg]

This list looks like it was made in 2015. Vanessa Moody? Arizona Muse? Lindsey Wixson?

Lily Aldridge lol!

 

[Armani]

These changes are so odd. Why such a drastic drop for Adut and Anok....

[bluebanter]

Is Fei Fei the only asian model they are ranking?
What about Liu Wen, Cong He, Sora Choi, Hyunji Shin??

 

[Maico]

27. Lindsey Wixton (+2)

38. Adut Akech Bior (-6)

????
Strange list...

 

[apple]

I would like to understand what parameters they consider in order to make the list. I think they consider longevity and earnings a lot, that's why there are models who don't work so much these days but are pretty established.
