News about some past winners & runners-up

from ilovesecondhandsmoke.blogspot.com

2005 winner, Brazilian Camila Finn (who was 13 when she won), has done campaigns for Benetton and Emporio Armani. You know you're still going strong when you're doing shows like Balenciaga, Marc Jacobs, and Narciso Rodriguez. No news from first runner-up Otilia Aionesei from Romania. Second runner-up, Canadian Ingrid Schram, left Ford and switched over to Elite. She did a few SS07 shows like Ann Demeulemeester and Badgley Mischka.

Did you know? Eva Helene Skarvig (IMG) started out as Denmark's contestant in 2005. She's walked for MaxMara, Missoni, and Proenza Schouler in the SS07 shows.

Belarusian Katsia Damankova, 2006's winner, walked for Josh Goot and Dragana Ognjenovic this past season. I haven't seen much of first runner-up Bojana Reljic. I know second runner-up Charo Ronquillo from the Philippines (woot!) did Lacoste, Nanette Lepore, and Project Runway for Chloe Dao. Recently, she did Spanish Vogue and Teen Vogue.

Additional runners-up of 2006 include American Chanel Iman who channeled and manned her way through show after show after city after city. No doubt about that. Dutch runner-up Rosanne Doosje might've been a sign of the times, a predictor of the following year. She's such a beautiful girl but has such a gawd-awful walk.
