MDC (Models.com) Rankings

[trikekos]

Jessica Stam has been on the list for 7 years, damn.
She should get award for that.

I also find it interesting how Jamie peaked in like the 40s and now she's in the 10s.

 

[khyrk]

I think Raquel and MCB has been on the list longer. Lily, Natasha and Freja would also be in there for 6 years now.


I think they should move Stam and MCB on the Icons List already.

Oh yeah I forgot about MCB and Raquel.

Stam an icon? lol no

 

[hysteria]

I wouldn't call Jessica Stam as a "fashion icon"..

 

[Shelton123]

Oh and and the most important part, how come I forgot?, Lara is not #1 right now!

Yeah... she actually is. She signed an exclusive contract with Calvin Klein and constantly appears in the biggest magazines. Yeah, maybe Freja has "more" currently but how long will that last? Lara will be getting campaigns, editorials, covers, and everything for years to come.

 

[xerq]

and freja hasn't? she isn't a newcomer

 

[Shelton123]

and freja hasn't? she isn't a newcomer

No, of course she isn't, and of course she's gotten great work, but honestly I just don't see her working in 3 or 4 years. And neither does MDC.

 

[agee]

IMO Freja should be #1 and it is all but a no brainer. I understand the need to have stability, especially in the top ranks, but there are times when things are in flux and having dynamism even at the top of the list is OK. If it was just campaigns and I thought that Freja had a better campaign season than all of the models in the Top 5 including #1 Lara (which is debateable unless you are an insider with access to (or knowledge of) financial information across agencies), then I can understand not upsetting the status quo, but where the no brainer part comes in is that Freja has been killing it, killing it on the runways and in magazines (both covers and eds). For the record of the eight models in the MDC Top 5, when it comes to my personal favorites, she is fifth or sixth on my list, my point being is that I like her well enough but I am not a stan.

 

[congacon]

i dont think freja has a better campaign than others in the top 5. freja got lots of campaign but most of them are multi- girls campaigns(eg balenciaga:12, valentino:4,...). i personally think anya rubik has a better campaign season than freja but freja on the other hand is doing great on covers and eds.

Eliza Cummings- 24

The faster you rise...

lmao!
you've got to be kidding me! who are you to speak for mdc?
and what could possible make you think so?

I hope she will, btw there's a news today, she will be on the cover of Vogue Paris 90th Anniversary issue, that's a big thing.

 

[sophiee]

Toni Garrn is off the list.
Hopefully she will make a comeback

 

[tocceve]

^Sheesh that's harsh considering some other rankings. Toni still has a beauty and some fragrance deals, a long Zara run and covers. It's not like she quit modelling.

Maybe it would have been weird to go from 11 to 14 and down to 40 something so they just excluded her to save her for a big comeback. Wishful thinking I know...

 

[xerq]

damn is that the same toni that had a billion campaigns in one season.

 

[JCFS]

ugh i cant believe elzia is that high....above kirsi she has shot way more eds than her , she had more shots in balenciaga....why is she ranked that high, since when is juicy couture even relevent. seriously rank ann already!!!!

lmao!

That wasn't at all unnecessarily rude...

But anyways, that's my reasoning and I figure that's MDC's reasoning for not putting her at #1. If the list were just based off of who's got the most work right now, then Freja would clearly have to be #1. But MDC's list doesn't just work like that, it's about who has lasting power, and girls who have become icons in the industry. Kind of like last season, if it were just based on who's getting more, Hannah Holman or Nimue would be #1 but they obviously wouldn't deserve to be. I'm not saying Freja's going to be out the door in one season, obviously, but I don't know if she's going to be referenced years into the future as an icon as Kate, Gisele, Liya, Kristen, etc. are now. I am just guessing that's why she's not #1, what other reason would there be? She has almost everything else over Lara (in terms of strictly work, I'm not going to go into talent) she's getting more campaigns, walking more shows, she got more covers this year I think. Maybe I'm just biased towards Lara, but then again everyone has a bias.

I'm glad to see Eliza and Emily on the list! I like Emily, so I'm happy about her. Don't like Eliza but she's deserved it for the work she's done.

 

[Unknownpleasures]

I think there should be a list for girls like Stam who have been around for years kinda like people favorites/just favorites then girls who are well known and appreciated could be ranked girls like Snejana,Tanya D,Bruna T,Jessica,Coco,Gemma,Agyness (altough i dont like her)etc.
