MDC (Models.com) Rankings

[apriliciate]

Go Lily, Natasha, Jessica and Sasha. hang in there forever

i'm afraid if lily and jessica didn't get any big campaign/contract sooner or later their rank is going down.. and down.. and *poof* gone..

 

[lanvinray]

Yeay! Sess finally went down but I still think she shouldn't be on the list
Ming Xi needs to enter the Top 50 soon & Tao Okamoto should re-enter

 

[apriliciate]

^well, now models should put more asia to complete and compete the list!

i'm afraid if lily and jessica didn't get any big campaign/contract sooner or later their rank is going down.. and down.. and *poof* gone..

IF they can hang on for the nex 5 or 6 years they can be moved to an icon
among those Sasha has the biggest longevity

 

[alice]

Great to see Feifei on the list.
I guess Karmen will move to higher place after getting a Vogue(Italia/Paris/UK/US) cover.

^Kristen McMeany or Gisele Bündchen have received steady blue chip recognition for like 15yrs while Lara's career took off only 2-3 yrs ago. She's much-buzzed, but still has to prove if her success is long-lasting or not. And as for Miss Poly....To be honest, Natasha rather evolves into an ultra high-end-filler than a real icon.

You have got to be kidding me with this statement? A filler?

Girl has covers everywhere! With everyone!

Multi-season Gucci campaigns as OG and MG. As well as with many other designers. And is opening and closing the majorest major shows..

I'm not trying to come off as high-up-the-as$ model-fan.. But calling Natasha a filler is like saying Nimue is the next Gisele..

[Please read my text as a mere me saying it with a calm tone of voice.. Not ! Lol]

I think Poly has potential to become an icon.
She has done a lot of cool things and it's still working ,her booker have known how to manage her career and now she's only doing a-list shows ,etc.
She's also a favorite for many designers and editors.
I think that even though Gisele worked a lot early in her career,the main reason she became an icon is her Vs contract and the fact that she dated this very famous actor.
I personally wouldn't consider McMenamy as an icon and I do no think her career has been long lasting,she just had a very strong comeback.She wasn't half as requested as she is now when she first started.in fact she was suggested to quit modeling.

Jamie Bochert is too High, her place belongs to Karmen Pedaru

Couldn't agree with you more. I don't really like Jamie. Also, I feel like Dree Hemingway is higher than she should be.

Daphne (#30) and Arizona (#23) should be closer together in the rankings, based on the industry buzz and obsession with them both. Fairly equal, I'd say. Although, Arizona has Anna's attention, so that played a major role.

Also, I'm proud of Arlenis @ #25! Get it, girl. Jourdan will be (back?) within the top twenty before we know it.

Were you already following fashion back in the early 90's or how do you get that impression? I was obviously too young at the time to care about models but looking at Rado's Kristen Mcmenamy website it does seem like she was in a lot of blue chip campaigns and had tons of Vogue covers and eds. Maybe I'm biased but I think she defeinitely is an icon because she is quite famous not only for her modelling but also her rebellious character and her comeback is indeed very strong B)


I think Arizona should make a huge jump in the list already because no one's working as much as her at the moment. She should be in the top 10, IMO

OMG. Though I love Natasha sooooo much, unfortunately, I feel the same.

 

[rockangel]

^I also second that!

I think the problem with Natasha is that she should have combined her high fashion career with more commercial work and the company of a major beauty contract (you know,maybelline,estee lauder or lancome....)...That would have catapulted her as a icon already!.... unfortunately and ultimately her career seems to stop at times.
She needs a consistent work.

Actually Jamie is overrated by models.com...and yes indeed, Karmen needs more eds and covers...then, her carrer will take a major hit.

imo, Anja is an example of how to get build a consistent career in fashion. campaigns, editorials, covers, beauty-perfume contracts, commercial brands, VS, etc ....personally, never a fan but she is incredible.

 

[LiranYana]

Add Sasha to that, constantly getting Campaigns , eds and cover and still popular, doesnt give her justice they always pull her down every year

bring Sasha back to No. 3

 

[rockangel]

^lately, her repertoire of campaigns is not as big as Anja

personally, i think Sasha at some point in her carrer should have reached #1 but unfortunately that will not happen => idem Natasha

 

[Gabriel29]

Kinda sad to see Trentini get the boot

 

[LiranYana]

^

Sasha's peak was 2008 and she deserved No.1 at that time
Sasha was always underrated on the rankings pulling her down every year
Natasha's peak was 2009 and lf Freja will not be No.1 this year, she will never be No.1 too since 2011 is Freja's peak.

Lara was lucky she was at her peak and she got No.1

 

[rockangel]

^
Freja needs more individual work (OG campaigns, covers, eds ...)... She always seems to dazzle in the darkness .... more visibility!.... plus beauty contracts previously discussed...

and yes, Lara was lucky (hype around), but then,now, her work speaks for itself!

 

[LiranYana]

^

I dont see Freja getting Beauty Campaigns anytime soon though
which leaves me in a puzzle who will take over Lara's top spot

Karlie ?

 

[TheChosen1]

I don't really think she "dazzle in the darkness". She's everywhere to the point that some are even getting sick of her.

anja?
abbey?

 

[LiranYana]

Anja is like Mariacarla or Isabeli getting many campaigns but doesnt have public figure appeal, I dont see her getting No.1 at all.

same as Abbey, for some reason, she's gorgeous
but in print ads, doesnt do well especially editorials, explains why she rarely gets featured on Vogue in contrast to Sasha etc.

I only see Karlie

so when will Lara moved to the icons list ?
its been 2 years, hello
