Who Will Sweep Up At The S/S 08 Shows?

[MulletProof]

I think both Alyona and Johanna Stickland will have another strong season.
and I hope Hanne Gaby and Truus make a nice and very well-deserved comeback afterall..
Meghan Collison is whom I'm rooting for the most, she just has 'star' right on her forehead, I can't wait to see what she does.. and how. same for Noreen Carmody..
other girls that I'd LOVELOVELOVE to see landing on the right catwalks are Yekaterina, Flo Gennaro, Naya, Gwen Carrier, Pilar Solchaga, Laila Kalichevski & Karlie Kloss.

and I never lose hope on Martina Correa.
I wonder if we'll be seeing a strange resurging of either Emma Karlsson (she did Chanel Couture last month) or Tayla Collins this season. tuttt..

 

[masquerade]

I didn't see anyone mention her, but Gwen Marie Carrier may do well. One has been really successful lately and the blog on style.com says shes a shoo in for the shows

 

[Mr-Dale]

^She got mentioned above you I am not familiar with her, I should go check her out I guess....and Pilar

 

[masquerade]

^She got mentioned above you I am not familiar with her, I should go check her out I guess....and Pilar

well, I'm blind. Shes very very pretty. I need to check Pilar out too, everyone seems to think she is going to be huge

 

[samanthay]

Meghan Collison, Noreen Carmody, Pilar Solchaga, Johanna Stickland, Reid Kastyn, Irina Kulikova, and hopefully Masha Tyelna and Karina Gubanova!

I take it this thread is going to remain separate from the annual 'Predict The Top-Ten' thread?

Anyhow, I've got a long list of names (no seriously, this is lengthy)...and anything sans a few very special girls, is really just speculation on my part at this point. I'll just go by agency at this point since its easier to digest at once.

Women Management:
I'm looking at Lucyna Amszej to be the New York office's best hope at making bank this season. Though I am praying that Luize Salmgrieze is runway ready at this point. Misha Parkosz is the New York office's dark horse at the moment, particularly when compared to Lucyna and Luize. As for the Paris and Milan offices, supposedly, Sophie Wilkinson is generating buzz in Milan, but their board has been remixed heavily lately and a lot of their new girls are probably a season away from being runway ready. However, I certainly would not mind seeing Helena Magone, Margot Vidalenc (already has Hermes love) and Basia Frackiewicz (total Jil Sander feeling) hit the right marks in Paris and Milan.

Supreme Management:
Plato, I could not agree with you more. Supreme is once again going to have a ton of success this season and Meghan Collison and Cristina Jurach (I feel like such a proud parent ) are obviously the most likely to succeed. However, I can also see Ania Trubalska and Pilar Solchaga making a strong showing this season. I should add that given her strong showing in London last season, I wouldn't rule out Flo Gennaro either.

DNA:
I'll say they definitely have one of the strongest new face boards of the moment by far, and Adriana Cernanova certainly seems to be their most likely to succeed. Though I'm willing to bet that Zuzanna Straska, Coryse Smet and Diana Farkhullina will also have extremely strong showings. The smell of exclusive just radiates from those three. Zuzanna is just bound to make a killing at Calvin Klein.

IMG:
For some reason there appears to be far fewer girls building buzz over in NYC Development than there were at this time last season. I may be biased but given her walks at Gucci and Calvin Klein resorts, Kori Richardson should be fairly present. Not to mention that Elcee Orlova's stint on the Versace runways last season has got to have her sitting pretty this time around. I'd love to see Naya on the runways as well, kind of a dark horse for me though.
As for the Paris Development, its just blindly picking girls at this point, since their board is pretty much as young and fresh as ever. Roberta Konrath stands to do well at least in Paris, given her appearence in Vogue. Beyond that, I'd say that Alexa looks like the kind of girl to make an exclusive appearence somewhere (Miu Miu). Rounding out the dark horses would be Yasminka, Sima, and can we please get Kristina Vaiciunaite on the runways already?!

Ford:
They finally have an editorial push again, huh? Well I'd assume they'll be making the most of Laila Kalichevski, Arielle Pytka and Nika Lauraitis.

Trump:
Siri Tollerod is obviously ridding on a ton of buzz, but they now have Uliana Tikhova under their grasps, and she had a great showing in Paris last season.

My other guess are just a random cluster of girls that seem bound to walk the MxMJ runway without a doubt. This new breed of all-American stunners is definitely a brewing trend. One Management has a triumvirate going with Gwen Carrier, Alex Shaffer, and Kayla Travers, while Elite seems to be banking big on Karlie Kloss and Courtney Smerski.

Finally, carrying over from last season: Megan McNierney, Danielle Hamm, Masha Tyelna, Noreen Carmody, Cicely Telman, and Rachel Clark will probably be even more visible.

Comeback of the season? Cameron Russell or bust!

 

[xPedro]

I hope to see Gisele again in HF, a little comeback like the one she did in SS03

 

[Mr-Dale]

That's a lot of names

I agree about Elcee Orlova...love her (I made a thread and all) She was also at Dior cruise. Together with one girl that I forgot to mention...the Croatian stunner Helena Sopar who blew me away completely from her polas

To be honest rockstar, I am not familiar with over a quarter of those names you mentioned so I bets be doin some investigation. And some I think are not ready yet (as you mentioned yourself), because they are or eye too young. However, impressive sleuthing

 

[samanthay]

yaars i agree about Coryse!! I hope she does well!

 

[Mr-Dale]

PS: might the girls who are on the newest Vogue China cover do well? Will Mackenzie Hamilton finally hit it big? Or Stephanie Shiu? Pei Bei, probably will - after her Moschino campaign and shoot for Vogue Italia - but I dislike her....eat yourself some pork girl.

 

[lisandwich]

I'm hoping Mariacarla makes a comeback.

 

[castingcrowns]

and I hope Hanne Gaby and Truus make a nice and very well-deserved comeback afterall..

Oh yes, I agree! I hope Hanne comes back strong this season! She's finally recovered from her accident and deserves to walk on alllll the runways again!

 

[Mr-Dale]

I don't like Hanne but how awefull that she was in an accident What happened?

 

[samanthay]

^Yeah what happened? I like Hanne... I want to see her strong on the runways.

 

[MulletProof]

^^I'm not particularly fond of her either (though I loved her latest polas ), and I don't know what exactly was the accident, I just know that she broke a lot of bones and had to be in recovery for several months, which was a shame because her career was just taking off nicely.

[iximisspiggyixi]

^Yeah what happened? I like Hanne... I want to see her strong on the runways.

My understanding is that Hanne was hit by a taxicab while walking in NYC. She broke quite a few bones (both her collarbones plus others) and she was in the hospital for a long while recovering.

I can't keep up with you any longer

With that said, I'm also expecting the Supreme/Women domination to continue with their crop of new girls and old stars. Ford is also starting to pick up some speed...hopefully their new faces will be given a great share of second looks this season.

 

[Saracita]

I was making a list, but halfway through it was already way too long.

So I'll skip the obvious ones, and just add a few names I don't see mentioned.

From IMG I hope to see Mirhé and I pray that the fetching Caroline Källbäck will be a surprise success in Paris.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned any Next newcomers. They have a bunch of great new girls. Provided they actually show up for fashion week, I think Aline Zanella (who's like 12, so I guess not) and Karolina Mikolajczyk are set for big things. Also the ethereal Megan Jones.

Trump is looking better than usual and I'm keeping an extra eye on Ronja.

Marylin has a few surprises in store for us, I'm sure. It'd be easier to make predictions if they updated their site more often than once every three years, but I'd love to see Molly Gunn on the runway.

My dark horse this season is an agency. Namely Elite. Many of their interesting new girls (Karlie, Annie, Jamie, Larissa, Natalie etc.) might be names for the future rather than this season. But even with that in mind, I think Elite will have a better-than-expected season.

 

[youarearockstar]

^^Hey, I prefaced that ridiculous post with the warning that it was lengthy and just a really broad generalization of new faces. You can still out-ID me any day of the week Faith...

That's a lot of names

To be honest rockstar, I am not familiar with over a quarter of those names you mentioned so I bets be doin some investigation. And some I think are not ready yet (as you mentioned yourself), because they are or eye too young. However, impressive sleuthing

Well definitely start investigating, some of them are really outstanding in my opinion. Again, as I said it was just a lengthy overview of who stood out to me, not all of whom will be ready in their careers to start making waves on the runway yet. Thanks though!

 

[samanthay]

Im also really hoping to see some of Arielle Pytka from Ford on the runway!
