Well here's a case study in how the most editorial of paths can lead to a very well compensated money career. The Coco that was launched out of Vogue Italia, Balenciaga and US Vogue now sits on the luxury triple crown booking of a YSL fragrance, a Chanel ad as well as a Dior spot. Genius no?

This audacious Aussie made her bow in the SS 04 Prada campaign and since then her ethereal presence has made her highly coveted in subsequent campaigns for Calvin Klein Obsession (fragrance),Louis Vuitton (Le Sac), YSL, Valentino, Jil Sander and Dior. She's every inch blue chip! SS08: Karl Lagerfeld, Dolce Gabbana

It's not only the 8 campaigns this season, it's the consistency of a career that has always attracted the big money clientele. From the loyalty she inspired in Chloe, former OTM notable Anja is the classic case of a girl who beams both cool and a commercial cachet! SS08: Belstaff by Steven Meisel, Chloe fragrance, Valentino, Oscar de la Renta, Chanel sunglasses

Jessica Stam certainly converted her haute editorial status into a money making proposition. The fantastic thing is she can bag a big money client one minute and then still loop back into the star making campaign in a blink. SS08:

    The supermodel with the fastest rise to the top of the industry is indisputably Natalia Vodionova. She continues her blue chip legacy this season with work for Vuitton SS08 as well as an upcoming stint for Chanel beauty, even as her Calvin Euphoria fragrance contract continues its run. She will always be most wanted.
