The Fashion Spot Top 50 Models F.K.A. Top 75

[khyrk]

Everyone keeps talking about Gisele's massive contract with VS but I don't think they realize that it's Tyra who held the biggest contract in the history of the company.

Ohhh tell us more about this.

 

[anlabe32]

Sure Lexi's work may seem lengthy but where's the quality? She may be in top campaigns but all are MG. She may have some OG campaigns but do those get much coverage? Yeah impressive. Let's not even compare covers. LOL

It is both lengthy and of excellent quality. I have no idea what you're talking about. Blinded by bias perhaps.

The big difference is that Lexi is a new girl and Lara is not, hence why it's so impressive for her to score such a big list of campaigns. Also, the creative teams behind each of Lexi's campaigns are much bigger than those of the other two. And it's lazy to count beauty and fragrance contracts because they don't have to do anything for it, they just run for as long as it lasts.

Lexi's campaigns are all high end fashion campaigns. She's worked hard to get all the coverage and she deserves the recognition. Not that anyone cares much about this list but still.

Or does it hurt that she scored more campaigns than your beloved Natasha? Just asking.

 

[CommanderTMugler]

I'm still wondering about Candice at #11, she has the VS and Max Factor contracts but not much work outside of that.

 

[anlabe32]

Come on Hanne is a runway icon. Can anyone list one other model who has consistently booked a big blue chip runway every single season for 11 years without wavering, still booking big new shows 9 years in without exposure from covers or campaigns to help her? Every new model on the runway dreams of that kind of consistency for over a decade but most of them stop booking those shows within a few seasons, let alone 11 years. Her career is truly unique.

I'm not going to get into a disagreement with you over her anymore but I would have to disagree with you on this. She became popular in 2007 which is not 11 years ago. Also, to be considered an icon in my opinion means that a model needs to have a healthy balance of campaign work, covers, eds and runway work. Hanne doesn't have that, she only does runway work. In fact, I bet the reason we still see her on the runways so much is because she can't make a living out of the other parts of modeling. All her peers have retired from runway work. The popular ones make money out of commercial jobs and the unpopular ones have faded away. Hanne's in between those two groups.

Just throwing my opinion out there.

 

[ThatRascal]

Ohhh tell us more about this.

I remember reading and hearing about it from a few places.

Here is an excerpt from an interview with Kyle Hagler:

"The reality is that you can develop talent any way. You can develop established talents and make the world see them in new and different ways, creating new opportunities for them." It took about a week of convincing, but I got it. Shortly thereafter, I started working with Tyra Banks, who at the time was the highest paid Victoria's Secret model

interviewmagazine

Also, if you look at past interviews with Ed Razek, he says that Tyra was the best they ever had because she sold more bras and panties than any other model.

Agreed!

Lexi's campaigns are all high end fashion campaigns. She's worked hard to get all the coverage and she deserves the recognition.

And Lara and Natasha didn't work hard to get the coverage and recognition for their beauty and fragrance contracts/campaigns?

And if it isn't obvious yet, Beauty houses also happen to release beauty campaigns for different seasons/products so they surely do not run for as long as they last. Also is it lazy to count Natasha's Hugo Boss Fragrance campaign even if it was actually just released this season?

Or does it hurt that she scored more campaigns than your beloved Natasha? Just asking.

If I remember correctly I compared the 3 girls' campaigns this season with labels as to MG or OG. Again 3 and not just Natasha and Lexi. All very objective. I seriously don't get where the comparison between only Natasha and Lexi came from. You're the one who just brought it up out of nowhere


This type of juvenile and unnecessary commentary is what almost always kills a thread/discussion. LOL. Sorry not taking the bait, will have to swim somewhere else.

Going by choice of words looks like I'm not the one blinded by bias perhaps.

 

[alonsoJonathan]

Does runway count on your list?

 

[ThatRascal]

There's something else that we should think about. We may not actually know whether some of the girls have contracts with the brands they work with. For example, Karlie has been doing Kate Spade for the past couple of seasons and it seems odd to me that she'd be aligned with such a small brand unless there was a contract in place, even if only for a year.

We also now know that Joan has a multi year contract with Prabal Gurung (2 or 3 years) and it's obviously spread out because she doesn't appear in the campaigns consecutively. She also has a contract with Woolworth/David Jones and has been the face of their Studio.W brand for the past couple seasons too.

How are these contracts accounted for?

 

[littlekiki]

Does runway count on your list?

Yes. Couture season is accounted for right now. I also count Resort and Pre-fall lookbooks.

How are these contracts accounted for?

That's such a difficult thing. You're right, we can't tell which models have these sorts of contracts. The best I can do is give extra points for repeat campaigns, such as Natalia for Stella McCartney.

Which is why in as much as we had objections and we questioned some girls' ranking on MDC before, they are the ones who legit know about these things.

NEW NUMBER ONE

Also, so glad Mariacarla finally debuted! Hollie May Saker is back. Other big changes include Molly Bair bumping up to #34. I've decided to rid of the +/- because they were so messy. I'll just bold any debuting models and you can ask if you have any other questions.

Any questions, please ask!

 

[mathiaskatz]

^ Are Natasha and Lexi tied?

 

[littlekiki]

No, that's a mistake. Lexi is #2.

There are no ties, besides Lily Donaldson and Rianne van Rompaey. However, tie goes to the model with the longer career.

Joan is at 10? In the past week she's had ads for Tiffany & co, True Religion, and J Crew released...
