Joan Smalls

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?

I somewhat agree with you, but chances are they're never just "free". Companies like Neiman Marcus, H&M & Saks are always asking Joan to shoot for them, & most catalogue work is shot in New York. Estee Lauder also likes to hog up their girls during NY fashion week. It's happened quite a few times already. I think the general consensus now is that NY & London fashion week aren't't as important as they once were for top models. Milan & Paris are the big ones. If Joan does all the big European shows & a few important American ones, I'll be happy. She doesn't have that many clients in New York, but she has quite a few in Milan & Paris (Gucci, Fendi, Chanel, etc).

She is giving great face at the VMAs. For real.

^ Agreed. I'm also obsessed with every single part of her look, especially the lipstick. She looks awesome.

She looks amazing at VMA

She's in the September issue of Interview magazine, with all the supermodels shot by M&M! It's on her instagram, but I can't find it anywhere else yet. Can anyone post it on here?

M&M always work wonders with Joan. They're one of the best model/photographer combos ever.

V magazine's September issue hits stands tomorrow, and we already know that the magazine will include a shot of Miranda Kerr posing with an exposed nipple as she channels adult film star Ciccionlina. But to further up the top-model ante, Joan Smalls will also get her own spread in which, we can exclusively share here, she takes on the persona of Tina Turner. Take a first look at the editorial shot by Tom Munro, which was styled by Carlyne Cerf de Dudzeele (she's making the rounds!). Did Smalls, sporting a funky bleached cut and white-and-gold outfits, succeed in capturing Tina Turner's electrifying presence?

She did a great job channeling Tina Turner in that second shot. I could totally see Tina doing a move like that at one of her shows.
