Beauty In Numbers


Elize Crombez/Next Italian Vogue. Ph. Meisel
Facts , figures and statistics. The MDC staff drowns in them, using these numbers to help decide who to shoot next and who to rank where. For the record, here are the top runway walkers for the S/S 03 show season, based on the number of shows booked. We could publish each girl's show charts, as well as their subsequent editorial and campaign bookings, but that would require an entire site onto itself wouldn't it. Hmmmmmmm.

Knockout Natalia


Natalia/DNA in Calvin Klein swimwear ad. Ph. Mario Sorrenti
The first images from Mario Sorrenti's St Barts gig for Calvin Klein are in and the most wanted new model of the moment, Natalia Vodionova certainly delivers her ethereal charms. And for those short sighted detractors who presume the Russian beauty is all sugar and spice, then Dec's Italian Vogue sumptuous "Day For Night" editorial ought to lay that myth to rest. The modeling world, right this minute is this girl's oyster.
