I'd add Tety Melnychuk for Marilyn as well.
She walked in good shows in NYC (Marshall approved) and is doing well in London. I think Europe will embrace her.

NEXT- Georgia, Ella Drake (MDC tipped her Milan exclusive

Seems more than obvious that it will be Gucci.

Yuliana Dementyeva apparently also has an exclusive somewhere (as mentioned by her Paris agency in an interview on models.com).

 

[lanvinray]

^ wow! That would be cool! It's been a while since Gucci had an exclusive the last I remember was Abbey Lee @ F/W08 Hopefully Ella delivers...goodluck to Yulia D. as well

 

[Vinciano]

MDC's first pick goes to Joan Smalls

I'm betting on Shena Moulton at Prada Thursday to cement her status. She's the only new girl I'm fond of.

 

[woemwoem]

We're going to need someone to really stand out in Milan and Paris b/c no newcomer had a standout NYC show season. Last year, J Jablonski was on her way to staking her place among the top catwalkers by the time the European shows came around. I don't know that any new girl this year did the same. And I don't count Lindsay W, H Holman, or Lisanne new since they already had momentum coming out of the s/s 10 shows. Marlena S also did some shows in Europe and Chrishelle has been around for a few years though Next did nothing for her.

 

[charliehorse]

Is it just me or does models.com usually have separate lists for NY and Europe?

 

[CharlottefromCA]

they did last F/W season I believe, but past season they just did one list.. then bonuses at the end.

Top 10 Newcomer FW 10: Joan Smalls (IMG)
February 23rd, 2010 by wayne

This is not Joan Small’s very first Fashion Week but it is her premiere as a model worthy of all those buzzwords that we love at OTM. And indeed Ms Smalls is the very definition of coveted, blue chip and must-have right this minute. Coming off a sweeping FW10 NYC and London season, Joan has walked for Antonio Berardi, Christopher Kane, Aquascutum, Julian McDonald, Anna Sui, Michael Kors, Rodarte, Marc Jacobs, Altuzarra and Alexander Wang. This is all after her surprise appearance at the Givenchy Spring 10 couture showing, proving again that Riccardo Tisci stands as a very prescient tastemaker when it comes to model choices. Milan stands as her next platform, with Paris bound to be an interesting venue for a young woman who has proven herself to be the very definition of grace and professionalism. And already in all that velocity are the sparks of very avid interest from some of fashion’s finest photographers. It couldn’t happen to a nicer girl.

^Well MDC has always been rooting for all around American girls and Joan is no exception. I saw this coming all along but I do think it's well deserved. I rooted for Joan for a long time and now, I'm happy she's actually made it.

My Top 10 NY

Ann Kenny @ DNA
Tetyana Melnychuk @ Marilyn
Antonella Graef @ Supreme
Ylonka Verheul @ NY Models
Sedene Blake @ NY Models
Julia Nobis @ Elite
Melissa Tamarijn @ NY Models
Kirby Kenny @ DNA
Alicia Kuzcman @ One
Simona Andrejic @ Marilyn/ Georgia Hilmer @ Next

Definitely, my fav girl was Valerija Kelava @ Next but I think she's not new face at all... the same with Jenny Sinkaberg @ IMG
I have to say I'm dying with London newcomers!! Especially Carla Gebhart and Kirsi Pyrhonen.

 

[ognimod]

I forgot Manon Pieto @ Elite

 

[nijuyanah]

Okay, so here's my actual list (not exactly predections, but just girls I personally think are great and have big potential to do well after FW too)

1. Carla Gebhart
2. Ann Kenny
3. Ylonka Verheul
4. Julia Nobis
5. Georgia Hilmer
6. Ilvie Wittek
7. Simona Andrejic

no particular order and I only included real newcomers.
Besides these girls, I think Antonella Graef, Valerija Kelava, Tetyana Melnychuk and Jenny Sinkaberg (who are all in their second season now) should have a promising career ahead of them aswell.

 

[Valentine27]

I would say Simona Andrejic

 

[Faith Akiyama]

Personal Top 10 for NY...taking liberty with a few "older" girls:

Ann Kenny/DNA
Antonella Graef/Supreme
Jenny Sinkaberg/IMG
Joan Smalls/IMG
Lais Ribeiro/Women
Melissa Tamarijn/NYMM
Simona Andrejic/Marilyn
Tati Cotliar/Next (My "adventurous" choice)
Tetyana Melnychuk/Marilyn
Ylonka Verheul/NYMM

 

[penny609]

I quite agree with you spotting Tati as a potential contender for the list... I'd even say as the challenger She's building her career her own way, often surprising like when she got last season's VW campaign and now open MJ... she's got a good sense of (quirky) style and I can see her doing well in editorials too. I truly hope she keeps her current pace till the end.

As for others... typical choices don't really thrill me (I'm in love with dark horses, can't help) even if see some obvious girls who could make it hands down. Otherwise let's just say I may be rooting for Tety

 

[*Bianca*]

This would be my post-NY Top 10 list:

Ann Kenny
Joan Smalls
Jenny Sinkaberg
