MDC (Models.com) Rankings

[agee]

Are these only fashion campaigns or are beauty campaigns counted too, e.g., Lancome, Estee Lauder and the like?

How are non-luxury type campaigns / contracts counted like H&M and Gap?

What are considered the blue chip campaigns and why (money, prestige of brand, "it" factor)?

 

[~lainey~]

i think everything in a model's portfolio of work is supposed to be reflected in the ranking...

i think for established model's, receiving major beauty campaigns reflect how prolific they are...there are interviews that suggest, models in this position have achieved a lot and are at liberty to choose their workload, the runway shows they do etc.

Which high fashion girls have major beauty campaigns? Daria, Hilary, Julia, Erin? They have all reached icons status I believe at MDC... and have been moved off the top 50. I'm pretty sure MDC takes into account beauty gigs, they are the apex for most modeling careers.

You also have a girl like Arlenis, I think if she didn't snag Lancome.. she wouldn't be placed as high.. I don't think she really books that many high fashion gigs to otherwise warrant her placement.

^Doutzen.

I don't think Shiseido or Dior, Armani, Chanel, etc beauty contracts weigh as much as Lancôme, Estée Lauder, L'Oreal or Maybelline. Maybe Revlon has a similar status I can't think of other brands, maybe Max Factor?

 

[WerbowyStegner]

Revlon is so major it isn't even funny. Shame they don't use models anymore *_*

 

[~lainey~]

also with Sasha being the face of Biotherm?

 

[ShaunaApell]

i think the girls w/ beauty contracts get moved because they stop doing a lot of high fashion work, especially shows and editorials. This might be because of the contracts terms or because the model is comfortable enough with that hugeee amount of new income that she doesn't feel the need to work her *** off to fit into those clothes or do edits that pay jack.

 

[CharlottefromCA]

Thats true, thats why its really the pinnacle of a model's career, they can transcend the grueling/competitive cycle of runway/editorial/campaign seasons.. season after season.

Sasha or Natasha deserve more than any model that number one spot...
I know that Lara is kind of hot right now, but cannot compare to the 2nd place girls

 

[trikekos]

^Idk. There's been a lot going on with Lara, that I think she deserves the #1 spot, though I think Raquel still the queen rn imo.

 

[zacatecas570]

^ I know Lara is Hot right now, but Natasha's is been in the spot since she started.. I mean, her first campaign was Alberta Ferreti, and her first cover was Vogue Paris a month after she started her career. And she keeps working as nobody, and also she is very pro in every single thing she do, Editorials, campaigns and runway and more than 20 vogue covers around the world plus a lot more things... I'd never finished.

Natasha or Sasha deserve this No. 1 Spot.... what define this two russians is professialism, beauty, outstanding, longevity (not more than my other girl Raquel, she always be a Queen, and I think Lara also has more time, she just become more famous later)... what more can I say... This girls deserve this. PERIOD (just my opinion )

 

[Vinciano]

Yeah, Lara is having a moment, but it's not more impressive than the moment Anya is having.....and it's no more impressive than the multiple moments Natasha and Sasha have had over their careers. Raquel is also having a "moment" but she's ALWAYS having a moment, so it's just par for the course for her.

I actually think they have the top five right, save for Ms. Anna J nothing being there.

 

[trikekos]

O.O Tanya is out of the list...

 

[Simera]

I don't get how Raquel is still #1. I know everyone seems to love Raquel, but Lara is all over now.
And how is Ymre at 11?!? Other than Prada what does she do?

In addition to Tanya's removal, Dree Hemingway was added at 27.

 

[ckgirlbr]

^I believe Raquel's still on number 1 spot not because of what she's been doing these past months, but for that she's done for the past years.

 

[~lainey~]

I do think Raquel is deserved of that number one spot ...her longevity in the business, and the fact her portfolio of work is still brimming with so many campaigns and editorials...people love her because she's an amazing model just as she is as a person and the fact that she's been around for so long and is still so prevalent in the industry is both a testatment and result of that...

Lara is great, but raquel has definately achieved a lot more...and she's still as in demand as a hot new it-girl...for example, look at the amount of campaigns she's had in the past season!

I think irrespective of whether she is loved or not, a lot of people respect and appreciate her as a model...i myself don't think she is the most beautiful looking, but i think she is definately fabulous

 

[trikekos]

Raquel? May be bc she got most of the big campaign this season, she appears in USVogue and VP almost every month, because we have seen her in various covers this year, and she still relevant on the runway.The girls of the "Icons" list rarely appear on the runway.
I still think Raquel is #1 tbh.

 

[Junee]

I do think the top five on MDC is accurate b/c based off covers, contracts, and campaigns Raquel is serving right now! Mama is everywhere and we know in modeling that nothing is more noteworthy than those Contracts and Campaigns! Raquel season after season snag quite a few Prestigious campaings not just one or two but Quite a Few from gucci, fendi, armani, louis vuitton, u name it she's either done it or doing it! I personally adore Raquel for her endurance, longevity, and of course her stomp! Lol! I must admit I wasn't a Lara Stone fan at all but she's growing on me especially after viewing her in the edit for us bazaar sept issue lensed by K.Lag!

 

[modela]

wow , this just proves that mdc just put the girls on the list without thinking!seriously Tanya D out ??? but alyona is still in the list??? Tanya walks the top shows and she got hussein chalayan!!!I think Ymre /jac are placed too high!!!

 

[vogueness]

me too I agree with Jamie B Dree Jac and Ymre all too high. tanya surely should still be in top 50. there are quite a few rankings that surprise me
