OMG that girl from Sebria is so amazing.
The girl from China is like the most beautiful asian girl in this industry i’ve ever seen.
Great job Elite.

The Chinese girl’s name is Barbie?? Well i guess that fits

Her real name is Xi Meng Yao.
I really don’t like Barbie as a moniker.

These photos are terribly unflattering, I must say, they all look better in polaroids. Simona’s my favorite.

Barbie and Simona were not the winners. just visited the website….

Emily Smith has the eyes. Fragile look that catch the attention. And that Swiss girl, if having a good smile, will shine in cosmetic & hair jobs within couple of years for sure. And it seems Elite can finally get their Asian star…

Julia Saner

None of these girls really do it for me but I’d have to pick Simona as my favorite, reminds me of Roos V =)

Barbie from China !!!! it is great job!!!! Sara she is half chinese too!!!!
take a look her blog : kidsmoda.blogspot.com

I think the most promising girl is Manon Pieto. she is 1.85 tall..!!!!!!!
my other bet is Caterina Ravaglia from Italy, I think she has a new face so is very freshing .
I like Julia Saner too, but I think in some photos she may look too comercial, but in some pics I see similarity to Doutzen Kroes.
Simona and Emily are beautiful girls with lot of potential, but for me they don’t have new faces, and a lot of unknown models may look like them.
Barbie from china is great, but in that photo she doesn’t look great as in others.
Other girl, who was very promising even though she is not in the first places is Nasata Mitrovic, for me she is great, maybe her height may be too common in models (1.75) but she has a new face, elegant, and photographs amazing!! you can see her in http://forums.thefashionspot.com/f52/natasa-mitrovic-82903.html
A girl that I think has potential but as a commercial girl is Maria Teresa Stange from chile, she looks like Miss. http://forums.thefashionspot.com/f52/maria-teresa-stange-88174.html
Answer to Rodrigo Dutra: no Adriana participate in Ford’s competition. Elite don’t have winners from latin america, only 3 girls reached the second place: Ana Beatriz Barros (Brazil) Renata Ruiz (chile, 2001)and Josefina Cisternas (chile, 2008)

ooh interesting name… barbie
nice to have some diversity here
the serbian girl is gorgeous too, but lacks the catchy edgeness

Julia Saner is the best winner we could imagine! Thank good she won, she’s doing an awesome job, and she still stayed with both feet on the floor and isn’t braging about her being a model, which is just great.
10 stars for Julia Saner!
