I found this on Forbes.

Edward Razek
Razek has been hand-selecting Victoria's Secret models for 15 years. He's helped launch the careers of household names Daniela Pestova, Laetitia Costa, Tyra Banks and Heidi Klum. The brand's highest-paid face, Gisele Bundchen, was already one of the world's best-known models when she joined roster.
Anna Wintour
The queen of Vogue has final say over every model who appears in the highly influential magazine. She launched the career of Victoria's Secret model Karolina Kurkova by putting her on the cover at 16. Recent editorial darlings Doutzen Kroues and Hilary Rhoda have turned Wintour's favor into lucrative contracts with L'Oreal and Estée Lauder.
Ivan Bart
A manager with top model firm IMG, Bart has been scouting faces since 1986. "I have kind of a third eye," says Bart, who furthered the careers of Bridget Hall, Carolyn Murphy, Stephanie Seymour, Shalom Harlow, Mischa Barton and Liya Kebede. He spotted his latest discovery, Prada model Irina K., in a Moscow restaurant having dinner with her mother.
Aerin Lauder
Lauder has proved as adept at launching new faces as her grandmother, company founder Estée. She brought Carolyn Murphy in to replace Elizabeth Hurley as the main face of the brand and oversaw the selection of the company's first black model, Liya Kebede. Then she went against the fashion grain and chose athletic American Hilary Rhoda over the waifish Eastern Europeans dominating the industry.
Steven Meisel
Meisel is one of the few photographers in the world who can launch the career of a model. His photographs regularly appear on the cover of Vogue, and he is credited with having discovered new sensation DKNY model Jessica Stam, as well as supermodel legends Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington and Naomi Campbell.
