I think there will be a huge resurgence of some of the biggest models of the late 90's-early 00's. Now that
Tasha T. is back full force, prepare for
Malgosia,
Omahyra, and who knows? Possibly the likes of
Fanni Bostrom,
Kiara K., and
Maggie Rizer. could find themselves walking the runways one more time. I would
to see more
Erin O'Conner as well
As for the n00bs, I think that
Sasha will become a runway top, and I would not be suprised if this was one of the last serious runway seasons for Daria,
Gemma, and
Liya, as they all will become 'supers' (well, Liya sort of is one already
)
However, I think these cool chicas will be the ones that will be all over Europe for fashion week, and will grab all the huge ads and eds.
1.
Hilary Rhoda- I don't really like her, but the designers do. After all, she got the only 'only girl' ad out of the Balenciaga bunch, and she all but monopolized s/s 06 Paris. This one is like a wildfire- just keeps spreading.
2.
Irina- They love that whole 'androdg' thing in Europe. She seemed to have gotten covers and edits within moments of arriving on the scene.
3.
Snejana- Too beautiful to forget, and
Behati- already a Marc Jacobs fave. Unimpressive in ads, but she has a good walk.
4.
Mona J- She is such a gorgeous model, and height is less of an issue in Milan/Paris shows
5.
Felicity Gilbert- See above
6.
Bette Franke- Getting lotsa hype, as well as the love of Meisel (Vouge Italia) and Demarchlier (French Vouge). She has the strongest editorial showing of any of the young models at the moment.
7. Asian model trends put
Du Juan and
Anne Wantanabe at a good position
8.
Freja- I really don't like this one, but she is doing well. She did Balenciaga ads and loads of runway milage.
9. Some of the 'almost famous' models, such as
Cintia and
Mariana, may get there big breaks this year. Both seem to get good shows in Milan, not to mention they are both very pretty.
10.
Tanya D- Would be higher on the list, but she did not do a single NYC fashion show. However, she has done pretty well in the ad's dept. all ready, with Hugo and YSL, so she cannot be ignored.
Honerable Mentions- Camila Finn will probably grab a few of the top Euro shows, despite being a too young fourteen... If the European shows love
Heather Bratton as much as they did last year, then I think this one should be logging edits and ads left and right...
Lisa Cant and
Natasha P are two old favorites that should be getting to Gemma/Daria level soon... They call her sizziling
Solange for a reason, and I don't think she is going anywhere.
