Karlie Kloss for Pringle and Nina Ricci as well as Vogue Italia with Meisel and virtually every single significant runway in sight makes this tall and lean American a major must-have of the moment.

A long term must book for Chloe, former OTM notable Anja had a monster FW05 season in Paris and is still being lensed fitfully by Inez and Vinoodh while appearing religiously in Vogue/Bazaar. She rocks!

2. Joan Smalls [profile]

A massive show season... unmatched editorial demand and major campaign interest marks Ms Smalls as THE early breakout star of the FW 10 season.

2. Natasha Poly [profile]

Natasha bolted away from the FW 04 pack as the girl of that season with the continued support of French Vogue. Now as the multi-product face of Gucci, she's finally evolved into that lucrative must-book she was always meant to be.

1. Lara Stone [profile]

And they said it would never happen in our lifetime... namely a model who is a cultural sensation...But Ms. Stone is that rare model who sells not only campaign product but moves covers (see Interview, Love, W, Vogue Paris) inspires designers (see Marc Jacobs for Vuitton SS 10) and confirms that a compelling personality makes fashion all that more vivid and dynamic.

So... the top three is held by five.

For people new to the industry the reason this article is posted in this way is not only to show the rankings but also who is connected with who.

Each agency is like a family, so one's success is also another's.

Every one has their part to play, including the photographer in developing and being successful.

  1. This is a useful post! I’m studying photography at college now and we’re doing a module on fashion photography. For someone who has previously only shot people as they’ve accidently stumbled into my landscape images, any help on this subject is great help and this has given me a few ideas.
