With the return of the old guards- adriana lima, Tasha Tilberg etc, - and smaller castings due to recessionary constraints, style.com finally came up with their top new favourites of the season.
Ranking First;
Alla Kostromicheva from women direct.
After some impressive cameos on the Spring shows, this Ukrainian beauty appeared in the New York scene shows with Alexander Wang and Donna Karan.
In Louvis Vilton Runway
Second in place;
Anna de Rijk from DNA.
A lucky break on a Dutch reality show led this runway newbie from top London castings (Christopher Kane, Jaeger) to the most enviable shows in Milan and Paris.
In third;
Dorothea Barth Jorgensen from women direct.
She was the grand prize winner in a Swedish modeling contest transformed into a runway takeover. Marc Jacobs, Prada, and Chanel were just a few of her blue-chip Fall bookings.
Coming in fourth place;
Hanna Rundlof of Marilyn.
With a look that resembles Cate Blanchett, this fresh-faced Swede was a steady presence on the Fall catwalks. Turns at Calvin Klein, Jil Sander, and Dries Van Noten (the latter of which she opened) are just the start of good things.
Bagging fifth;
Jac of IMG.
This Poland native caused quite a stir when she landed a succession of covers and an Hermès campaign at just 13. Two years later, she still had to sit out Paris due to age restrictions, but she closed Marni and was first and last out at Calvin Klein, the Fall campaign.
Following behind;
6. Karolin Wolter of Supreme.
A hectic month that included the coveted first exit at Jil Sander, coupled with a recent editorial in Vogue China, should get her an impressive campaign season for this German.
7. Katie Fogarty of Next.
Not letting a spectacular spill at last season's Prada show get her down, this Missouri teen proved herself a worthy strutter this time around. A stellar show list makes this her true breakout season.
8. Kendra Spears of Ford.
After winning a Ford modeling contest via MySpace, Pacific Northwest Spears—who draws comparisons to Cindy Crawford—landed on the runways at Nina Ricci and Louis Vuitton.
9. Nimue Smit of Women.
She's the face of the latest Prada campaign, this Dutch cutie decided against the exclusives that have previously kept her under to claim spots in shows like Michael Kors, Bottega Veneta, and Chanel.
10. Tao Okamoto from Supreme.
This Japanese has been spotted on the catwalks before, but a fresh look—a chic new bowl cut led to multiple castings: She logged over 45 shows, including Miu Miu, becoming the first Asian model to walk for the brand in two years.
