MDC (Models.com) Rankings

[anlabe32]

I'm genuinely intrigued, why do people care about MDC rankings anymore? I used to love MDC and its rankings when they kept their lists simple and accurate but now they're all over the place and irrelevant.

Totally agree!

They put Gigi and Kendall on the New Supers list

LMAOOO! I expected Money Girls, never New Supers - at least not in a few years. Well, it's safe to say I agree with billiejbob.

Just noticed they took Alessandra Ambrosio off the Money Girls list - any other names they took off? I can only identify her.

WTF, she's surely making more than other girls on there like Jac, Erin Wasson or Sasha Luss.

I'm surprised Taylor Hill isn't on the money list... she has contracts with VS, Lancome, most likely Michael Kors as well given how many ads she's in plus other campaigns with Versace, Bally, Karl Lagerfeld, David Yuriman and others.

Removed from Top 50: Gigi Hadid (New Supers), Kendall Jenner (New Supers

Removed from Hot List: Faretta (moved to Top 50)

New entries to the Hot List: Amandine Renard, Elibeidy Dani, Hiandra Martinez, Hoyeon Jung, Kaia Gerber

Half those girls on the Hot List shouldn't be there, and KenGi on the New Supers list... I understand Cara but KenGi aren't supers IMO just yet. Looks like IMG's really pushing Kaia... good luck to her!

LOOOL to the new addition to the New Supers list haha especially for Kendall who DOES NOT AT ALL BELONG HERE

Natasha was added to the new supers. Not that this lists are relevant anymore.

 

[sixtdaily]

Natasha has been on the new supers list for a while I think.
I'm more shocked by Kaia being on the hot list than Kendall/Gigi being moved to new supers. What has Kaia done except her VP cover with mommy?

LOL @ the new additions on the New Supers list.

At this point models.com should creat a ranking apart for Kendall, Gigi and so on. They don't belong to the New Supers and they didn't belong to the Top 50 neither in my opinion. Their careers can't be compared to those of regulars models/supers. They should create a ranking called "The Influencers" or something like that and include all the girls who made it to modelling due to their social media presence (which is mentioned in the description of both Kendall and Gigi in the new supers by the way) and include Kendall, Gigi, Bella, Cara, Hailey Baldwin, Emily Rata and so on. I know they have a social ranking but that is just about the number of followers, I mean a ranking with girls who are influencers on social medias and book jobs thanks to that too.

Removed from the Hot List: Katie Moore, Lou Schoof, Peyton Knight, Sarah Abney

Hot List has 37 girls
Top 50 has 46 girls

Gigi + Bella are also in the Money List

Alessandra on icons and not Adriana... that's something i can't explain. Both deserve it, but Adriana invented Alessandra.

 

[Cute]

Aamito Lagum was also removed from the hot list.

Adriana's in New Supers, and I don't think I've seen someone on Industry Icons and New Supers at the same time.

I'm not mad at Gigi/Bella/Hailey all on Money Girls, like it or not they're raking in big bucks. Is Kendall not on Money Girls? And she's the one bringing in the most money... but a lot of that is from KUWTK, so I guess I don't blame them.

I don't think that's considered in making the list.

^ I doubt it, but unlike Gigi, Bella, and Hailey, modeling might not be her main source of income.

I found more girls that I know were recently deleted from the Money Girls list, if someone could verify if they were just taken off during the recent changes on the rankings that would be great:
Cora Emmanuel
Sigrid Agren (almost positive she was taken off the list before the recent changes, but could be wrong)
Jacquelyn Jablonski
Nadja Bender
Tilda Lindstam

They recently added Stella Maxwell to Money Girls, don't think that was recorded yet.

This may be a reach, but maybe the icons for Top 50 and Hot List on the general full list of rankings page could be an indication for them moving up a ranking? If we go back to post 111, Gigi was the icon for Top 50 (now Money and Supers) and Faretta was the icon for Hot List (now Top 50). Currently, Taylor Hill is the icon for Top 50 and Kris Grikaite is the icon for the Hot List...

Ik... what I meant is that she should only be on the Icons list, the establishment ones, next to Alessandra and girls from her generation... not on the supers next to Cara and Kendall. She's so out of place there.

It's been said before, but MDC rankings are heavily biased toward certain agencies. You can figure out which ones. And I suspect that girls will be taken off and added on its dozens of lists based on what those agencies tell MDC in terms of which girls the agencies would like promoted and which ones they're OK with being removed. There were certainly girls who were recently on the Hot List who barely did anything. You look at that list now and it's stunning how some of them could ever be seen as up and rising, while other newbies who are getting campaigns, editorials in various Vogues, and walk in big shows are not on it. It's obvious MDC shills for a handful of agencies and ignores others.

I think this could all be simplified if MCD would elaborate on their definition of what a Super is versus an Icon. I get it though.
