Joan Smalls

[LucyInTheSky]

I'm so happy for her.

 

[fadedcolours]

From the preview video her shots excite me the most. She looks absolutely gorgeous and I hope Meisel works with her again!

 

[fantastical]

she looks so dynamite in print! yay Joan. I agree with everyone that says she deserves this. I'm sure she can appreciate this so much more than girls who just become instant-favorites and blow up and then fizzle off in modeling.

Joan should've been on the cover can't wait to see what's next..Go Joan!

She looks amazing, loving the shot with her sitting down wearing the white dress, so looks great.

 

[xerq]

[dizzytacks]

Look who debut at MDC's Top 50 Ranking

43. Joan Smalls

This model has not moved in the past week
A massive show season...unmatched editorial demand and major campaign interest marks Ms Smalls as THE early breakout star of the FW 10 season.

Wow, that's so great for Joan!!! It's also great that MDC has supported her all the way through fashion week, starting from her debut at Givenchy couture! I especially love when it says "Unmatched editorial demand and major campaign interest" I litterally can't wait to know which campaigns she'll be the star of.
Oh, and, Riccardo..our eyes are on you

^C'mon, come thru Givenchy!! Would be phenomenal.

 

[Manuva]

^I'd love to see her in the Givenchy campaign too.

 

[Katnani]

So great to hear so many good news! Models.com finally got something right... I'm sure she'll blast editorial and campaigns! Can't wait to see what!!!

The VI pics are awesome!!! She looks really good... I knew she had something special the moment I saw her polaroids... Jeez, I was sooo right...

Someone wrote something alon the lines of " Joan was just on set with XXXX and XXXXXX shooting XXXXXXXX" which if u fill in the X's it could be " Joan was just on set with Mert and Marcus shooting GIVENCHY!!!! On the Imagist BTW

Shes just awesome! She reminds me of a combination of Naomi..Liya and Tyra..for some strange reason! Am pretty sure shes gonna become the next black vogue girl because of her classic look
I also see a similarity between her and this Nigerian model

This aint a 'moment', kids. This is the beginning of Joan's rise to the top where she will stay. Miss Smalls has all the right friends in all the right places right now and a shot at establishing herself as a high fashion classic for many years to come. And I agree w@Urban Styling that Joan looks like the love child of Liya and Tyra when she first started her career floating on a yacht with Naomi and Beverly for US Vogue. I digress tho...kudos to the team at IMG for lifting this brilliant girl out of the Elite catalogue shoot doldrums and seeing the very special star in her to cultivate and blossom. The results speak for themselves, no? AND this is just the start. This moment is going to be stretched into an epic career. Joan Smalls for MVP and for the win. This is a perfect example of great management + amazing model = $$$ Thrilled for all of them and of course for Joan. Sky's the limit for this girl. Supermodel. Period.

 

[Fiercification]

I am glad that the rumours were true, I think she has the face for editorials...she looks like she can pull off a lot of different looks based of of VI.
