Pat Cleveland

^She's Top 5 for runway walkers IMO.

 

[Spiral1532]

^I loved her performance style on the runways.
Way back in 1989, Videofashion compiled a list of the top runway models for each year of the 80s. The list went something like this:

1980: Pat Cleveland
1981: I don't remember who.
1982: Iman
1983: Jerry Hall
1984: Tara Shannon
1985: Ines De La Fressange
1986: Dalma
1987: I don't remember who. See below.
1988: Marpessa (or was it 1987?)
1989: Aly Dunne

I would agree with most of the choices.

Pat Cleveland's personality and temperament wouldn't make it in today's fashion runways where models' personalities are smothered so the focus remains on the clothes. I think the models today are better looking, there's definitely more of them of them out there, there are less girls of color who get to go front and center but the shows in the 80s and 90s were definitely more fun to watch.
