Well, i dont agree with you at all..she's is "it girl" or girl of the moment,however and everybody knows that but she's definitely not with the big leagues which includes topmodels like daria,raquel,natasha, anja, sasha etc...she's more with girls like karlie, daria s.,arizona or lindsey w and i think they are all topmodels in the making...btw i have nothing against her and to be honest shes not my favorite girl but i respect her recently work even more because she's ethnic and if shes going to continue her work in next few years shes on a good way to become a big one

I agree with you.
Joan is definitely THE IT GIRL of the moment, no doubt about it. And although she already done many (big) campaigns, she just started with her first vogue cover and her first og campaign. She is no where near Lara, Sasha, Natasha, Anja, Daria W, Raquel YET who have done many og campaigns, covers.
She is indeed in the NEW league that comes next to the models mentioned above: the new league includes Karlie, Arizona, Saskia, Daphne, Lindsey, Daria S and yes there she is gonna for a win. Wouldn't be suprised if she will be the next number 1 (if mdc EVER decide to change it) and I think she is here for a longterm stay.
But Joan is a lovely girl, with perfect skin and i don't really like the fendi campaign, but her beauty is obvious in it.

Curious if Meisel tapped her also for a campaign with him.

Joan Smalls Birthday: Supermodel Turns 24, Answers 20 Questions


1. How does it feel to have been chosen to cover W and be called "The New Face of Fashion?"

It feels fantastic; I'm so honored. Its my birth month so it was a pleasant coincidence. Hopefully the title of “The New Face of Fashion” is very inspiring to those who can identify with being multi-cultural and representing such a beautiful culture. It demonstrates that the world is not one dimensional and that all beauty matters.

2. Describe your perfect day off.

It starts waking up next to my boyfriend on a sunny day and going on a road trip.

3. What are your must-have, can't-live-without beauty products?

Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair, Daily moisturizer with SPF 15, and Sumptuous Mascara

4. What is the best fashion advice you've ever been given?

To give it your all and live for fashion, as advised by Edward Enninful [the on stylist, fashion and style director of W].

5. Who is/are your style inspirations?

The everyday individual that roams the New York, London and Paris city streets.

6. How would you describe your personal style?

Comfortable chic, boyish sexy and classically elegant, depending my mood.

7. Who is your favorite photographer?

That's a tough question because I enjoy working with all of them. At my top are Steven Meisel, Mario Sorrenti, Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott.

8. What is your favorite place you've traveled to?

Tanzania, Africa. It's such a magical place. There is beauty everywhere.

9. Lipstick or lip gloss?

Estee Lauder Nude Rose Lipgloss.

10. Do you have a pet?

Yes, my cat Mr. Grey. I left him in Puerto Rico with my parents.

11. Who are your favorite fashion designers?

Riccardo Tisci, Frida Giannini, Alexander Wang, Prabal Gurung and Rag & Bone.

12. Do you have a signature scent/favorite perfume?

I love sweet smells -- Tom Ford Black Orchid.

14. Favorite food and favorite restaurant?

Spanish (Puerto Rican). My kitchen.

15. What is your favorite TV show?

"Secret Millionaire" on ABC. I think this is such an inspiring show in the sense that you get to see rather affluent people give back to a community out of their own pockets to make a difference in someone else's life.

16. Who makes your favorite jeans?

Rag & Bone and Earnest Sewn.

17. Which designer would you want to create your wedding dress?

Riccardo Tisci from Givenchy -- it will be phenomenal!

18. Who is your favorite shoe designer?

Christian Louboutin (as a safe choice) and Tabitha Simmons.

19. Do you have any celebrity crushes?

Not at all.

20. What are the best and worst parts of being a model?

Best part is that its unpredictable and every day is different (no routine) with all of the traveling and working with the greatest creative entities in the world. The worst is traveling to amazing places and not getting to enjoy them with someone you love, or not seeing your destination 'cause the trip is so short.

I've never seen this shot before. I think it's a forgotten pic from V July 2010:

[justaguy]

^Love!

 

[fashionlover2001]

Lovely shot! Have all the shots for the Givenchy campaign been released yet?

 

[Modelo]

Joan has been working nonstop. I can't wait for all her work to be released! Imma go crazy!!!

VS

[nrllaless]

It's so weird seeing her shoot VS now. Love the versatility though. A Givenchy campaign photo, and VS shots in the same thread. Must be nice, LOL.

 

[Modelo]

I think these are her best pics for VS yet. i never really liked her previous ones but this is sexy and fun. I remember it was such a big thing when Karolina Kurkova worked for 23 weeks straight without a break, Joan might just be heading down that road. She's working non stop!

 

[valliaddict]

^ Yeah, and hopefully she's taking care of herself . We don't want her to run herself into the ground. I hope she takes a nice break before S/S 13 fashion week.

 

[Modelo]

Joan is all over the H&M store on Lexington in some stunning black and white ads. I can't find the images online tho and it's driving me bananas...
