The signature face of Estee Lauder Cosmetics and its array of blue chip fragrances has capped off a dream editorial career with a dream contract. Her longevity has been a masterpiece of management on the part of her very devoted agency. 		Carolyn Murphy - Ph. for Estee Lauder

The definition of an icon? That would be the ability to return to the industry after a hiatus to log campaigns, covers and editorials aplenty for clients ranging from Purple to Vogue Paris, Chanel and Ferragamo. Such is the pristine proposition that is Schiffer. 		Claudia Schiffer - Ph: Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel SS 10

The supermodel with the fastest rise to the top of the industry is indisputably Natalia Vodionova, converting the cachet of a Calvin Klein contract into full-on celebrity via her Vanity Fair profiles and Only Girl July 07 Vogue cover. 		Natalia Vodianova - Photo: Inez & Vinoodh for YSL S/S 10

No model working, right this second commands more covers and campaigns than the iconic Miss Moss. The girl who once memorably opined "Never complain. Never explain." has certainly got the last word.		 Kate Moss - Ph. Mert n Marcus for LOVE S/S 10

It'll be a long time before any other model will nab anything like the $25 million dollar Victoria's Secret mega-contract that put Ms Bundchen on the map five years ago. Though she has since then moved in from the brand Gisele still looms as the highest earning model on the planet at an estimated $33 million for 2006 and remains one of the only two models who actually can move mags on the newsstands.
