I actually wanted to do this before Style.com came with a list, but you know, busy life... So here I am after all with my final list of the new girls that I totally digged the most during the S/S 07 runway season. The list is in alfabetical order, so first of is Alana Zimmer!
Alana Zimmer's first show was the Yigal Azrouel show and she immediatly got to open it. That's the best start you can have as a model and that proved to be so! Later on she did completely everything in all the major cities. From Dolce & Gabbana to Marc Jacobs and from Prada to Chanel. If this doesn't spell major star than I do not know what does
Anna Mikhaylik has this very charming Russian ooze over herself which I find mysteriously attractive. In Paris, we saw her at Lanvin and Givenchy among others. Milan brought her Jil Sander and Marni. And in New York she graced the catwalks of Marc by Marc and Badgley Mischka. Keep your eyes open for this 19 year old - yes - mother!
Bruna Tenorio deserves the same introduction that I gave Flavia Oliveira a couple of months ago: Brazil still serves! Oh yes it does, because Bruna was litterally everywhere. There was not a show she missed and who could blame those designers. This browneyed stunner has a bright, bright modeling future, I can tell you that!
Cecilia Mendez is this season's cutiepie, without doubt. Her supershort bowlhead makes her even sweeter than she already looks. Aside from the fact that she is lovely, she is also dropdead gorgeous. Those freckles make me melt! I can see her scooping some big eds or ads any time this season.
Chanel Iman lives up to her name. She is elegant, she is a stunner on the runway and she is super beautiful. Finally some new bigtime black model on the runways! We need to see more girls like her on the runway, and to be honest we had quite some darkskinned beauties on the runway this season. But none of them, or anyone else for that matter, could match her fresh beauty.
Egle Tvirbutaite did some small shows in the past season, but this season she really got her name heard among the big names. Alexander McQueen, Vivienne Westwood and Emporio Armani are here to prove my point. Can't wait to see her getting huge next season.
Iekeliene Stange, what can I say. Well, what can I not say, because she is THE it-girl of the season. Well duh to that. I am probably the one millionth to say this, but with cheekbones that cut through paper, this Dutch out of this world beauty is getting ready to conquer the world. The number of mags she's in now is already of the chart and she is undoubtedly receiving all the big ads. A star is born.
Magdalena Frackowiak is sexy, soultry, gorgeous and so wow. Absolutely a face that the modeling world needed. Sometimes it helps to get some in your face beauties back into fashion. And she fits this profile perfectly. Taking in mind that she opened Yves Saint Laurent, she has a path of gold paved in front of her. I'm anxious to see her walk it!
Michaela Kocianova was the surprise of Paris this season. Every season there are one or two of those girls that do barely nothing and then suddenly conquer Paris which gives them a ticket to a succesful magazine season and an even more succesful follow-up runway season in all big cities. Her akward beauty and pretty good walk for a totally new girl deliverd her the shows of Dior, Chanel, Galliano, McCartney, the list goes on. Need I say more?
Olya Ivanisevic is last but definetly not least on the list my fave new girls. She took New York by surprise with her opening slots for Proenza Schouler and Vera Wang and other slots at Marc Jacobs and Derek Lam. Her success continued overseas and this proves again that Supreme's hair-make-overs do wonders.
