The Best & Worst Catwalkers

As a new face, I think Mackenzie Drazan's walk is excellent. I really like her opening for Theyskens theory.

 
So, I have a doubt that maybe you can answer me... So... why models like MariaCarla and Vlada become the best walkers with walk styles that are almost reminiscent from the 90's... but the casting directors are always telling the models to walk robotic-ly?

I'm saying this because I'm a model myself and my walk is quite "worked" and casting directors are always telling me to repeat my walk because I need to be more static.

I'm a MariaCarla addict and I always feel amazed by the way she kills the runway!
 
if the directors tell you what they want, you just do what they want. but at first you can try something you like to do, if the directors feel fine with it, then you can just do your own thing. if they tell you they want you to walk in a more robotic way, then change it.

when doing a show, nothing is more important than taking whatever s*** those director want, cause they are the boss.
 
Another tip is to feel the aesthetic of the designer. Yo can't go all Mariacarla on a Mary Katrantzou show, for example.
 
^Definitely. MCB knows when to tone it down, that's what makes her a fantastic runway girl.

Guess I need to work more. My main problem is the arms... But even when MariaCarla is doing the "toned down" kind of walk, she keeps her arms moving... but so softly that no one notice. And its seems she keeps her back straight and not leaned back. Her walk is so unique. :heart:
 
I'm so obsessed with Andreea's walk at Blumarine.. so perfect
 
before there was marpessa,dalma and anna bayle...the new gen of models i looooove maria carla boscono (the best of them all)...anja rubik ( very classy ) & natasha poly..they have the best walk in the business.
i hate the way these models walk: arizone muse,sasha (though i adore her), anais puliot, joan smalls and most of all, i hate karlie kloss..she walks like a show horse but alas, most of the designers love her!!!!
 
I think Maria Carla's walk is just a less impressive version of Gisele's. Its just way too try-hard while Gisele's is stronger yet effortless.
 
IMO Anja, Natasha, MCB, Karmen, Zuzana, Daga, Vlada, Ginta, Siri, Aymeline, Daria S, Kasia and Kinga are one of the best walkers.

The worst - Arizona, Hanne Gaby, Lindsay
 
Not seeing Karlie on the runways most of the season I was painfully reminded how terrible walker she is watching Miu Miu livestream today.
 
best walkers:
Natasha, MCB, Vlada, Snejana (wish she would come back), Kasia, Toni, Karlie, Anna S, Olga.
 
Lindsay really improved this season.

and i love the victorian vintage doll look of her face....almost cartoonish with the teeth gap..a lot of people hates the way she walks and the way she poses at the end of the runway...i just love her!!!
 
I'm a huge Hanne Gaby fan but her walk really is pretty dreadful...
