no wonder I couldn't find her in any shows. it's like RIRI walking for...was it dolce&gabbana this season? i don't remember.
Nice to see a topic of favorite models that DIDN'T come from America's Next Top Model.
Some of my favorites are:
Kasia Struss :
Elyse Taylor:
and Anna Mikhaylik:
I don't think modeling is all about beauty. Its the presence you bring to the run way that makes you well known.

ANTM doesn't produce any models
^ The only successful ANTM model I can think of is Elyse from season 1. At least she gets print work without the help of CoverGirl or Tyra. She works almost entirely in Asia, though. Hong Kong, to be exact.
Also: Petra is overrated. Hello? Girl got caught in a hurricane. It's horrible and all, I know, but when did that become a prerequisite to be a successful model?

My favorite model is the mirror 
I love Elyse. Okay, correct that, 99% of the time, ANTM does not produce models.

I wanted to post this. Style.com's Top 10 S/S 08 Collections.
Balenciaga
Another master class in extreme cutting and exaggerated silhouettes—pronounced shoulders, tiny waists, abbreviated hems—from Nicolas Ghesquière, this time in lush, gorgeous florals. Wearable? Yes, for the brave. Others have only to wait a season or two until the designer's ideas trickle down, as they inevitably do.
Dolce & Gabbana
After last season's S&M romp, Dolce & Gabbana worked out the kinks, whipping up frothy, fifties-style tulle dresses hand-painted with abstract flowers. A fresh, sweet, and utterly covetable collection from the longtime practitioners of in-your-face sex appeal.
Dries van Noten
Dries Van Noten pushed his arty aesthetic a step further, layering as many as five different prints, mostly florals, onto one dress, jacket, or of-the-moment pajama pant. It made for a vibrant, Technicolor lineup, and one of his most accomplished collections ever.
Lanvin
In a season in which wearability often came second to fantasy or fetishism, Alber Elbaz turned out one light, easy, billowy reimagined goddess dress after another, and in polyester, no less. The tuxedos weren't too shabby, either. These were real-life clothes made really chic.
Marc Jacobs
Transparency, boudoir dressing, surrealism, footballers' wives—Marc Jacobs used those tropes and more in a collection that for all its kooky eclecticism was essentially about sex. And like his subject matter, it got everyone talking.
imo: I hated Marc Jacobs and also what he did to Louis Vuitton.
Marios Shwab
This on-the-rise London designer turned out a collection that united two of the season's top trends: watercolor florals and sculptural silhouettes. But it takes a unique mind to dream up those viscerally beautiful body-heat-generated prints.
Narcisco Rodriguez
With a multimillion-dollar cash influx from Liz Claiborne at his disposal, Narciso Rodriguez was back on his game, infusing his precision seaming and exacting cuts with a fresh sportiness on the one hand—think "ninja" jackets—and a new sense of luxury on the other. Top marks for the violet finale dress scattered with caviar beading.
Prada
Miuccia Prada's collection of fairy-dusted pajama sets was one part Art Nouveau, another part seventies-era Ossie Clark and Biba, and an utter surprise after last season's strange treatise on the natural/man-made divide. But, then, that's what makes hers such an important, influential voice.
Ralph Lauren
Followed by a grand fête in Central Park's Conservatory Garden, Ralph Lauren's 40th anniversary collection touched upon many of his famous signatures without ever feeling like a rehash. It was full of bold colors, timely floral prints, and red-carpet numbers galore for his A-list fans.
Rodarte
With their reputation for breathtakingly romantic and exquisitely rendered evening dresses well established, Kate and Laura Mulleavy have started venturing into new territory. Their cobwebby sweaters and Coco-esque suits looked new, yet never strayed too far from their imaginative, utterly original aesthetic.

Sometimes I think they just give designers a top 10 because they're popular. They are, in the end, clothes. I really don't like fashion as mainly art and expression, although I do see the meaning of it.
My favorites were Nina Ricci and Alberta Ferretti.

I agree. I could not stand Marc Jacobs. And I can't believe that he butchered Louis Vuitton.
I loved Lanvin. The colours! Oh, the colours...
i cannot stand snejana. D:
and have you guys seen how weird sasha's thighs have looked lately?
not to mention that the skin of so many models was so bad this season.

^ That is pretty weird. Maybe that girl has been working out?
Eh, I'm okay with Snejana, but she's definitely not one of my favs.
God, I looked back on my Lanvin post, and I'm drooling over the purple dress.

nothing can compare to how horrible chanel was. karl lagerfeld has done some amazing things to chanel, chloe and fendi but this collection, just what the fuck was he thinking. it made me want to cry just looking at it.
OVERRATED THAT'S THE WORD.
I know, what was with all that denim?? 
I think two of the worst shows were Chanel and Marc Jacobs.

I think two of the worst shows were Chanel and Marc Jacobs.I actually was quite impressed with how Karl Lagerfeld made one particular denim outfit look pretty elegant:
If it wasn't for that colour, I would've never thought it was denim.
i think gemma looks gorgeous lately. the fact that she's gained weight has given her boobs.
natalia please stop walking now.
look at the Posh shoes by Giambattisti Valli.

Some of these girls look scary... O.O
Their faces look like dolls, seriously. And not in a pretty or hot way. It's like... skin on bone. It looks really scary. And it looks like their face is STUCK in that position, and that they can never smile or laugh or frown again.

and is it just me, or does natalia look really dumpy in that chanel outfit?
Wow...Gemma does look really good!
It's not really their fault, you hardly see models laugh/smile down the runway unless you're at a Galliano show or something. Perhaps we forget sometimes that models are still people, because when I look at pictures on the runway, I look at them as hangers. They're just there to model the clothing. Or, in the case of print work, they're there to convey a certain aspect of the editorial, to become a piece of art. Art isn't always happy or something to laugh about.
Maybe this is why the backstage photos of models foolin' around are the best ones.

Alek Wek and Chad White
irina lazareanu and pete doherty are donzo. and apparently pete wants kate moss back. good choice :D!
model's faces are WAY too symmetrical. it's getting too weird and freakish looking.
Statistics show that people prefer faces (or bodies too, I guess) that are symmetrical as opposed to faces that aren't. :P More appealing to the eye...

Are Irina and Pete really over? I just saw a blog entry of their pictures together, lookin' pretty gross. This was just last Sunday.
Either way, Irina and Kate can do so much better...honestly. Pete is such a bag of shit.

But I swear that there was an article about Irina and John Lennon's son being together... It was like a whole 5 page article in Teen Vogue's "Fashion Rocks" issue.
^ they might've broken up after it? idk. there def were pictures of irina and pete together. WHY AREN'T IRINA AND FREJA TOGETHER DAMNIT?!
^ That'd be hot. Honestly. Coming from me, straightest girl ever.
Actually...now that I think of it, I don't think I'm really that straight. I mean, I just about fell in love with Angelina Jolie in Mr and Mrs Smith. And I absolutely have a girl-crush on one my brother's friends...
