^good for her. I really like Natasha, but I still don't think she has a shot at #1
Posted via Mobile Device

Oh yes, i agree with u! Her peak was 2/3 years ago, now she's doing great but for the #1 spot i will see Arizona, Karlie or Joan. The new generation.
Natasha and Anja are too old for that

 

[valliaddict]

I think the new string of top models are Arizona(ugh), Joan, Karlie, Saskia, Karmen & Daphne. The last string of top models were Lara, Anja, Freja & Natasha. I think only one of the the newer top models will become #1, just like only Lara became #1 out of all the other three girls. Its just the nature of the business. One girl rises to the top of the pack, and the other girls trail behind her. The girls during Lara's reign are still very successful in their own right, but they just never has the credentials to hold the #1 title. The same will happen with the next pack.

i really,really hope what freja n Arizona are shooting is a collections editorial n not the Campign!

 

[Forrest]

^Yes, we don't know if it is the campaign yet for Chloe..

However i doubt if Arizona will already be number 1..?
How do they count? From which season? How does it work?

 

[Lee MG Tisci]

wait, how is Arizona a contender for #1 now???
for the possible Chloé campaign? i think that could put her in the top 5 but no further than that,
Arizona will probably have a chance when they'll have to replace the no. 1 after Lara, not before..

.

if u think about the amount of covers she has had in the past few seasons: vogue paris, vogue italia, vogue australia, vogue russia.....etc and her eds are everywhere and in every magazine u could name of.

campaigns: ysl, prada, lv, alberta ferretti, jil sander, david yurman, etc and she will get only girl fendi campaign.

her resume is just impressive for the past 12 months. i think arizona has a stronger resume than karlie, joan and freja's if you just think about works for the past 12 months.

^Yeah I don't know how and why but Joan, Arizona and Saskia are being fast-tracked to supermodel-dom. Whilst a lot of girls who have been in the game much longer haven't had this kind of success. I'm not even talking about girls like Irina Kulikova or Anabela Belikova, these three have surpassed girls like Magdalena, Edita and Maryna in a couple of seasons. They're now in the same league as Freja and Anja, and keep in mind it took Anja and Freja 11+ seasons to get where they are now.

 

[alonsoJonathan]

im not really that shock to be honest.we have seen this before. Karlie,Tanya D, Catherine. they have this huge brake. we have to wait how this new models do after all the fuzz about them is over.
Specially Arizona she is Everywhere n when u less expected everyone is Over her. if u take a look not many of the top 5 or top ten have had this much of a succes in their early yrs. they were always getting good amount of work but were never over exposure like Arizana has been soo i guess we have to wait n see.

 

[WerbowyStegner]

Joan IMO has a clasic beauty that will never get old/boring

people see her at the streets n be OMG she is gorgeous. n still manage to look adgy in HF(campaign,eds,cover)

models like Lara,freja,abbey/sasha look good in print n in HF,but if u see them in any day in the street they are not pretty,in fact ppl might find them ugly/weird looking.

i dont know that is just what i think
classic beauty IMO always beat those looks that might last 3/4 season jsut look at the Icon list most of the models are GORGEOUS! n they are really you typical beauty. n joan has that. n beside Joan CAN DO more than just High Fashion as Freja can NOT! i mean let be real

I'm sorry but Abbey is/was very conventionally pretty before her whole bleach blonde hair dye etc etc. She has a very 'baby face' that is commercially appealing WHEN STYLED RIGHT.. From where I live all the girls I know (who dont follow hf) idolize Abbey Lee and she so can do commercial and high fashion

 

[alonsoJonathan]

^
SOOO agree just look at this Picture she is GERGEOUS.but now,not soo much :l

style.com

 

[congacon]

abbey's beauty is definitely not conventional by any mean. the eyes, the mouth, the bone structure are very different compared to average people's.

 

[alonsoJonathan]

^

yeah agree too,but wa cant deny how gorgeous she was. like a really unique/exotic beauty.IMO

 

[j.cruz146]

^And right now who is more "established"? Karlie has done OG work for mostly every high fashion magazine and brand out there!

Just answer me this question and I'll leave it alone.. How many other girls in this industry have done what Karlie has done..

1) Done great multiple blue chip OG campaigns back to back..
2) Dior, Donna Karan and Oscar De La Renta campaigns back to back.. All OG except for Donna Karan..
3) She has support from many magazine editors..
4) Doesn't seem to be slowing down.. People said she doesn't have any support in Europe but rumor has it that she is doing the Etro campaign
5) She does have a good amount of international Vogue Covers
6) Every show season she opens and/or closes half of the shows that she walks in
7) She might not have had the best walk when she started, but nobody else in this industry from her generation right now actually has a signature walk.. NOBODY!
8) She dipped her foot in the commercial industry and started doing more work and this girl is honestly a chamilion in millions of ways! The camera just loves her!
9) She has fragrance contracts up the as*


I might love Natasha, but I do agreee that she'll just bypass the number one spot and go straight to icons because the girl is iconic.. She died her hair for one show and everybody was talking about it.. Girls like Iris Strubegger who died her hair like a million times during the same season and not even a single buzz about it.. I feel like Natasha is just nearing celebrety status in the industry now..

To me it just feels like Karlie is next up to be number one, Joan just started and so has Saskia and Arizona.. And neither of those three girls honestly have what it takes to stay in the business for so long.. But who knows.. As of this point, the only girl who has the resume, time and ability to back her sh*t up is Karlie.

 

[LucaNatashaFan]

I'm not fan of Arizona but Arizona is a strong candidate, for me the new N°1
In only 3 Seasons she did

Yves Saint Laurent (OG)
Prada (MG)
YSL Beauty (MG)
Alberta Ferretti (OG)
Chloe (MG)
Rag & Bone (MG)
Louis Vuitton Cruise (OG)
David Yurman (MG)
and now Fendi as an OG


About Big Covers:
Vogue Italia (MG)
Vogue Paris (OG)
Vogue Russia (OG)
Also she's always in Vogue US

She's in the industry for not so long. . & from what i see she's more strong than Karlie!
Karlie is too much commercial for me!
The N°1 (Daria, Raquel, Gemma) were especially high fashion models, but doing also commercial thing, but Karlie 4 me is more commercial than high fashion

If not Arizona i think Joan will be good as well, the only problem about her are the covers!!

 

[carmen_kass]

Just answer me this question and I'll leave it alone.. How many other girls in this industry have done what Karlie has done..

I'll tell you what she hasn't done: About 10+ career making campaigns. She has not done Chanel, Fendi, Balenciaga, YSL, Prada, Calvin Klein, Versace, Gucci, Lanvin, Giorgio Armani, Louis Vuitton, Valentino, Givenchy, Hugo Boss, etc. Yes she has done brands like Donna Karen, Pringle of Scotland, Etro, ODLR, Marc Jacobs fragrance ads, but these are all B list to A- list campaigns. She needs to do 6-7 of the big names that I mentioned before she can be considered number 1. Karlie has a lot of industry backing, but not a lot of campaign love. She's everywhere in a sense, but her only real A+ blue chip campaign work in my opinion is Dior. She needs to do more campaigns for the big French and Italian brands.

Also she no beauty contract, Dior cosmetics doesn't count as lots of models have 1-2 season cosmetic campaigns, which is not the same as a contract such as Estee Lauder, L'oreal or Maybelline. Also, almost every girl who has been number 1 has had a US vogue cover, which she still needs to get, I don't doubt that she will in the future.

Karlie is established, but there's still so much she hasn't done. That is the distinction between girls like Karlie and Joan/Arizona. Joan and Arizona are getting the BIGGEST campaigns and doing them only girl. Less so with Joan, but Joan has EL.

 

[j.cruz146]

^You want A+ campaigns from Karlie? There's Hermes, Dole & Gabbana, Chloe and Alexander McQueen.. And you have got to be kidding me with this.. When was the last time Lara fronted YSL? Versace? Gucci? Lanvin? Even Valentino..

And don't try to tell me that Chloe and Alexander McQueen aren't blue chip campaigns because then you have got to tell people that not all the campaigns that Raquel Zimmermann and Sigrid Agren got last season are blue chip! People have got to remember that ODLR did not use new girls before Karlie's chance there..

And do you really need a cosmetics contract? Because if so, you have to got to count Anja and Natasha out of the running then for sure! But do you really need one when you can more than likely get a Victoria's Secret Angel contract? I doubt there would be any persicussion on Karlie and being able to do HF and VS considering all the support that she has..

 

[franki]

^ i agree. besides, if that is true about needing 6-7 different brands blue chip campaigns before being number 1, lara stone wouldn't be where she is today.

and joan is definitely not getting THE biggest campaigns as OG. yes, EL helps. but karlie's campaign and editorial records far outweigh joan's. if she were to get a VS contract, even as a Pink angel, or whatever their level below 'Angel' is, the discussion should be over...

but i think until all SS campaigns are announced this discussion will go in cirlces.

Agree. Not to mention forget about Freja then also.
I do think Chloe isn't that bluechip, but hey Karlie did Dior, Alexander mcQueen etc. etc.

Also.. Joan doesn't have a SINGLE OG campaign and not even ONE vogue cover.
Although Arizona does have a very impressive list, she is way to new to be allready #1 (that means if lara will be replaced in febr.) more likely she will move up in time.

stam is back. first cover girl now swarovski. she also has mercedes which is very big commercially.

she deserves to be in the top 10. she has a stronger resume than anna j. mercedes, swarovski and cover girl contract are huge contract.

on the other note, i agree that arizona has to the strongest resume at the moment. but i guarantee she wont take over lara as the number one on the ranking bc she is relatively new and her overall resume is not as strong as freja's. freja is still has the edge over her.

campaign wise, mdc will definitely give joan more points for scoring bigger campaigns, commercially, than arizona. as we all know, a long term cosmetic contract in general scores the most points. so campaign wise i think joan has the edge over arizona but vice versa when it comes to printing.
