What has Joan even booked lately?! Not one FW campaign if I remember correctly. Makes no sense

Hugo Boss Something and she has her EL contract which is awesome of course, but still. Karlie is the only model with super model tendencies and you don't put someone like her so low.

But maybe we are giving the list too much credit. There are more messed up things in there and we all know Karlie is an awesome model and we will see/hear a lot from her.

 

[Clipse]

It's a complete joke that she dropped to 9. She's one of the biggest models out there and is the closest we have to a modern day supermodel. Just google her name and see. Yes she hasn't done well this campaign season but neither has Joan. And it was only last season she got Lanvin and Donna Karan plus the Louis Vuitton Alma campaign so I don't know why she droppped so low. Most people saw her and Joan as joint number ones so they should have stayed number 1 and 2. Plus Anja and Sasha stayed at 3 and 4 for ages with barely anything major before they moved off the list or to Icons. She has 5 Vogue covers this year and is still a regular in US Vogue. And she has more Vogue covers then every other girl on the list as well as most of the models on the Icons list.

The money girls ranking is a joke too, how is Arizona and Karmen ranked above her? With her own denim line, Karlie's Kookies, VS, plus her catalogue work, she should be ranked way higher.

This list is a complete joke. Everybody KNOWS Karlie is the No.1 model right now. When Arizona Muse got the EL contract, they quickly moved up her rank. Karlie was No.2 before she got the VS contract and after she got it she's still No.2, WTH?.

No.1 is a completely bull****. Aside from the EL contract, Joan has nothing big under her belt. Campaigns-wise, cover-wise, celebrity status-wise she's behind Karlie. I can see Karlie will soon become an Industry icon, but Joan? not so much.

To be honest, i am not the biggest Karlie fan but her work is mind blowing beautiful. Joan is overrated because of her ethnicity of being the first colored women to do a chanel campaign since Kimora Lee (i believe) etc.

Joan is not to blame

Joan is not to blame

I don't blame Joan. I just say that if she's deserved to stay at the top then so is Karlie

 

[loladonna]

Joan is deservedly rated high because of her cosmetics contract with Estee Lauder. The cosmetics contracts are even more lucrative than something like Victoria Secret. Carolyn Murphy was able to stay one of the highest paid models for a decade just because of her Estee Lauder contract. When you consider Joan has covers and campaigns on top of EL her ranking makes more sense.

 

[congacon]

karlie was robbed of that number 1 title when she was #2 behind joan. her drop to 9 place is a huge and shocking drop. I still think karlie has good works that keep her in the top 5.

im kinda surprise that karlie didn't get many blue chip campaigns after dior.

no chanel, prada, lv, ck, rb, Gucci, Armani, celine, givenchy and so many more.

saskia on the other hand got almost all the blue chip campaigns. now, as an angel, karlie will not get many more hf campaigns.

at least she's bringing in big dough which matters most at the end of the day.

 

[Trends]

I'm surprised that Karlie dropped to 9th place. I don't keep up with Models.com rankings as much as used to but I thought she was at least in the top 3. Some people are blaming Joan because Karlie isn't #1 but there's 7 other models ahead of her. I will have to do some research to see why Karlie is in 9th place.

How Accurate Is Models.com's Top 50 List?

April 16,2011


I might be a bit ignorant, but can someone explain to me how Models.com's Top 50 List:

1- Is tabulated?
2- Accurate it is?


Models.com:

From the daily call sheets of photographers like Steven Meisel, Mario Testino, Mert n Marcus, Craig McDean, David Sims,Inez and Vinoodh and Steven Klein for clients like US, Italian, French and British Vogue, W, V, i-D, Numero, Bazaar, Pop and Another can be culled a clear message about who are the most wanted models of the moment.

It is also brands like Prada, Vuitton, Chanel, Dior, Calvin Klein, Estee Lauder, Lancome and Maybelline among others who provide the platform that makes stars of models. In an increasingly competitive market, flooded with hundreds of "cool editorial girls", its the campaigns and contracts that are the final index of how crucial a model is at any given moment.

Consequently here are the faces of the future, MODELS.com's Top 50 Working Models listing.
​

From my understanding, the Models.com team is quiet small (5-10 people). So I find it hard that their database is up to date, with accurate information on the hundreds of models in the industry, with their campaigns and contracts. It's got to be quite hard to keep a tab on all this happening.

As one The Fashion Spot member puts it:

Models.com are always wrong about a lot of things so it doesn't mean anything.
​

I concur with that, as I my self have seen wrong or un-updated information on the site. And this would reflect the list its self.

For example, currently Catherine McNeil is #24 on the list, while Daphne Groeneveld is at #27. If you have been paying any attention you'll know that Groeneveld has been a whole lot busier over the past year than McNeil. And got more [presumed] prestigious spots.

Also how far into the models time line do they go, to figure this out? Is it monthly, quarterly, yearly?

They do not clarify it.

But let's assume everything is 100% accurate. The next question is how do they tabulate this Top 50 List?

Is it a points system?

- Do campaigns, editorials, covers get a certain amount of points?
- Is one designer worth more than another?
- Is a cover worth more than an editorial?
- Is a campaign worth more than a cover?
- Is one magazine worth more than another?
- Does one photographer get more points than another?
- Is a lookbook worth more than a catalog, or the other way around?
- If so why is one designer or photographer or magazine etc... worth more than another? And how do they decide this?

You get my drift. How things are rated is also not clarified.

Models.com again:

Let's face it. The clients, especially the blue chip ones are the stars of fashion now and it's their choices, selections and bookings that make and break models today.
​

I can somewhat go along with this opening paragraph. But the top 50 list is questionable as far as I can tell. Mainly because this contest does not seem to have any rules, to judge things by.

I'm really just curious about this list, which some in the industry seem to take so seriously. Maybe you can help me understand it better.
