The World's Highest-Paid Models Of 2013 (FORBES)

No. 8: Joan Smalls
$3.5 million
Smalls is a newcomer to FORBES’ list this year, but the Puerto Rican model found stardom in the industry long before that. She already topped Models.com’s rankings back in September, and she’s also the first Latina ambassador for Estee Lauder.

Smalls’ career kicked off in 2010 when she was handpicked to walk exclusively for Givenchy, and since then she’s posed for Chanel, Lacoste, Calvin Klein Jeans and covered Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar and GQ. Agency: IMG

The Puerto Rican model Smalls (No. 8) became the first Latina ambassador for Estée Lauder in 2010 and has since filled her client list with big names: Victoria’s Secret, H&M, Fendi and Givenchy. “A model of color selling luxury products makes a huge statement. Increasingly, brands are trying to connect with consumers by incorporating diversity into their image, and someone like Joan relates well to the key demographics that advertisers really want to reach,” said Bart, whose agency also represents Smalls.

I'd love for her to show up at New York for the shows this season, even if it's just 3 or 4 big ones. Fingers crossed.
 
Love the new Tiffany shot!

and I don't want to be a downer but it's a shame Joan is already on Special Arrangement :( I want to see her at all the shows! Is it because she's too expensive now or because she's not getting casted?

She said in a recent article that she can't book shows anymore because she is too famous

:doh: I really wish Joan & Karlie wouldn't have said that. They're definitely not at the level of fame that Linda or Naomi were in their heyday, but in this begrudging time of bland newbies popping up every 2.5 seconds, they really are too big for most shows. It's just odd to put them in the middle of shows, without opening or closing, like any other common model. I bet Joan will only walk shows in New York that she can open/close or is guaranteed a campaign. Like, walking in the middle of a Michael Kors show is a waste of time for Joan. We all know Karmen will get MK, so there's no point in doing that. :lol: Hopefully she can surprise us with something like Proenza Schouler. I could totally see her in a campaign for them, depending on the mood of the collection. Possibly DVF.

I'm expecting bigger & better things from her this season! She was completely robbed in F/W 13!!!

I wished they hadn't seen it when I read it too. It was on a lot of mainstream news sites and as expected, most of the comments were just 'who?' They're huge in fashion but not mainstream enough yet
 
They should walk shows still, doing runway has NEVER hurt a model's career, heck even someone as big as Gisele, or the "comeback" of Doutzen, Alessandra and Karolina while back doing runway brought/brings in hype. Karlie and Joan are big but not at that level, they can still do some runway but a bit more selective to other models of their heyday if they wanted. That would show the industry they can play and are accessible but with some terms, as time goes on tighten it up a bit more and more.

Right now to make better plays.... heck walk the Micheal Kors show for free, make an impact and snatch the campaign from Karmen, do these other "little" known houses a "favor" and build up even more prestige while you're on a roll. What do they have to lose? Unless they have a big project lined up I can understand but if you are free during fashion week, why not?
