Cult Icon and the Next Top Model Search

Let's identify newer models that are on the rise, or show potential. Or simply newer models that you like a great deal for whatever reasons.

The Model must then have their names matched with their face.

So please identify the promising model, and post a non-edited face-shot.  Other shots, discussions, and comments can be included.  Post several at once even... the more the better.

It doesn't have to be too serious Since I'm putting my SN on this one, you can expect that I'll be invested in growing it, improving it, and generating content.  To start, I've identified 60 new women.

Next Top Model

Tanya Katysheva had many looks in Paris/NY, and she looks like she's here to stay.

Hope I'm doing this right.

Nastya Zhidkikh

Golden Blonde and Impish. At first glance she looks a lot like every other girl on the runway, but up close she looks like an old Fairy Tale Princess.

While not totally busy, she has booked big shows the last year, Like Elie Saab, Armani, and Stella McCartney.

(sorry its all uneven. I have zero talent for anything )

You are! Very nice post.  I bookmarked Nastya last year.  I encourage us to edit our entries with updates as we will.

I'll raise you elves: <3  These women are completely stunning.

Hope I'm doing this right.

Ondria Hardin

Ine Neefs

Josephine van Delden

^^^Tanya is definitely here to stay

Zhenya Katava

Shes been modeling for a couple of years now, but only until recently has she really come into her own this past season. Walked almost every high profile show, with her most notable being D&G (which many people including myself think is one of the best runway apperances of a model for D&G to date/among the best of the entire season) 

Vasilisa Pavlova
 
Has been walking every high profile show (Chloe, Dior, BCBG, Donna Karren, Lacoste, Monique Lhuillier, and many others) every season since she started modeling a couple years ago. I don't see her going away anytime soon

wow @ Zhenya

So many amazing new models keep it commin´ guys!! Great thread Andy

Nice choices Lindsay!!!  Thank you Jennka, Lindsay, and Orphie 

I already made 2 Tanya galleries.  She had a stunning season:  http://www.bellazon.com/main/topic/44606-cult-icons-junkyard/?p=3516422

Also via DutchHomme at TFS:

I think she´ll be big one day.

Jennka, dont steal my baby  :trout:  

(made square for avi btw)

She's also my fave.

 

I feel the same way about Tanya <3

Maarje: I've noticed this too!!  She walked a hell of a lot.  She has lovely everything (eyes especially beautiful) but her nose is a tad big for my tastes...:-p.....

Do you know what the others are?  Fashion TV does a 'First face countdown' with the top 10 models of the season.

Maartje Verhoef

 

MEET THE 5 MOST POPULAR MODELS OF FASHION MONTH

Number 1 is MAARTJE VERHOEF!
Nationality: Dutch
Number of shows walked: 66

 

These girls also did very well:  Anna Ewers reminds me of Claudia Schiffer and Lara Stone (brow and even eyebrows are similar).  Sanne, the princess/goddess to me looks a lot like Maartje except her nose is smaller   I like Sanne and Anna.

Anna Ewers

Sanne Vloet

Kate Grigoreva

great to know she has fans here They love her on TFS obviously, she also seems humble and funny in her interviews. Very sweet, lovable person. A great combination for future work with designers and photographers.

She is also very versatile - I´m so looking forward for her future career!!

Sanne is lovely

And you know how I feel about big noses

I think that models.com do something similar. I also found:

Big noses!! I like Sanne too, very beautiful.  I will make a review of her eventually.

You know, I looked at this list and 3 others and as far as 'next top models' go, I find most of the women not the type to be a successful top model (runway-editorial-commercial model).  There are some, like Maartje that look promising.  I definitely think Anna Ewers is one of the promising ones, and I made a review of her last weekend.

eg. this list from models.com is a joke:  http://models.com/mdx/top-newcomers-ss-2015/

These are the top walkers:

Lara Stone, Part II? They look like sisters!

Onadria Hardin is already on the models.com top 50.

Has anybody found other models??

I'm definitely instantly convinced by her- the Bridget Bardott, Claudia Schiffer, Lara Stone hybrid.

Lara Stone already has made it. She is a top model.

Next Top model can be looked at two ways:

1. the next runway/cover girl who eventually becomes commercial successful by landing lots of campaigns

2. a model who is extemely popular and commercial. her popularity helps here land editorial work but mostly does commercial campaigns. 

Either way next top model refers to a newer face or someone whose career is building up to great things. Lara has been the face of so many high end campaigns and has graced so many covers for so long. The problem with Lara is she isn't commercially successfully. She has a unique look. It's not very commercialesque. I couldn't see her translating well in the commercial end of things despite her very healthy curvy body. Her face isn't generic. I think in France she could be commercial because of her Bardot like appearance but she wouldn't be an Angel. face of Maybelline, or SI superstar.  But she doesn't need to be those things because she can land fragrance campaigns in her sleep. 

We are not talking about Lara Stone here - it was all about Anna Ewers.

btw Andy, check this out

W Magazine November 2014

^^

Yea, I saw that.  Anna Ewers is there!  The two women that flank 'Skull tattoo' are newer models I think.  The brunette did especially well in spring FW but I didn't like the space between her eyes....

Yea, I agree as I often do.  Thank you for spelling it out even further and sharing your knowledge!  Your explanation of Lara Stone makes sense.  I think Edita does well with fragrance.  I 've seen her around.

I would be interested in hearing about more of your evaluations in general, as they are informed.    Now, I need to add more models here...........

Joanna Halpin

Already regularly models for brands like ASOS, Urban Outfitters, Missguided and NastyGal. I can definetly see something big like VS in her future
