The Candice girl a top model? OOOOOOOOOOK and I’m the president of the U.S. The only positive thing would be that Arizone Muse did NOT appear, instead of Candice I would put Tati or Zuzanna.Glad to see Carla G. on that editorial
Seriously, what’s with all the bare breasts?
Best issue Ever!!!!!! Kudos models!!!!
Oh Lawdy I would not want to share a photo with La Linda Evangelista. She owns.
I’m a huge fan of Vlada’s. And to all respect to her, I wonder why this girl is’nt on top with the rest who she started with or even after her (arizona not all that, bad walk) It saddens me that she’s been more successful on the catwalk than editorials or mainstream ad campaigns. PLEASE open your eyes FASHIONWORLD, don’t let this model go to waste, and don’t just use her for the runway,(even though her walk is one of th BEST). Atleast let her open more shows if this is the fricken case!! Love you Vlada 🙂 You have many admiring fans out there, that always has good thoughts with you and hope ppl will give this girl a daamn campaign. Bless Vlada aka Elena xo
The best model issue ever!! Linda looks like the owner of DNA management.
Those Ford girls are like porn casting.
This is so BESSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!
DOUTZEN <3
Candice is not a powerhouse. Without VS she would be nowhere.
I’m glad to see Linda Evangelista.
VIVA A LA LINDA!!!
VLADA thru & thru. give this girl more credit. maybe her doll like look isnt in this season. still she should get more than just Swarovski good campaign but shes better than that. Open your eyes DESIGNERS
Besides, the casting for S/S 2012 in general has been all over the place. It’s one of those seasons where no new face has been able to sweep the season, and the casting for some of the shows has been downright appalling (Versace, anyone?). Maybe, if trends reverse next season, we may be seeing a little more of Vlada, but even otherwise, for a runway model, she’s had a tremendously successful run. She’s been around since 2004. I doubt even some of the most in demand girls like Sigrid or Jacquelyn or Jac (as much I heart all three of them) will be around till 2015 walking 60+ shows even then.
^ Agreed. This girl has paid her dues for many years now! Just think she does’nt get the recognition she deserves. Great issue btw 😉
Of course Candice is a top model. No need to be a high fashion snob when she has the backing of some of the biggest career makers a girl could ever get/want. Meisel,Testino,Wintour now obviously Carine and Terry R,also shoots with Mert&Marcus and I&V.
Love Linda! always great to see her looking like boss.
Ruby Aldridge is the coolest girl.
Love vlada too x But wheres Olga Sherer? good editorial
I welcome The Model Issue with open arms.
Why isn’t Trump featured? They have some great girls…
funny how b/c my comment was not in favor of this years issue due to the very unnecessary soft porn by some of the agencies, my comments have been taken down. way to allow freedom of speech/opinion, models.com. You’re showing quite the equal partisanship….NOT!
Wonderful issue. There is some excellent photography. Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin have presented some truly nice shots. They really show how beautiful the girls are. Any nudity is done tastefully and helps to emphasize what great figures these girls are blessed with. Nicely done.
It looks as though IMG are so confident that they’re on top that they didn’t even feel that big a need to send many of their girls to this shoot. Yet other agencies have girls in their photo who I’m not even sure still model but did have a moment in fashion at some point {ex, Mackenzie Hamilton at DNA}
This issue should feather model tumblrs & blogs like modelburnbook and amodelanonymous, but overall good issue just lacking new content.
Is it really Karolina Kurkova (as credited) on the spread of IMG ? It looks like Dani Seitz to me…
Sad that NY models, Silent, Wilhelmina or Trump were not included. It was more difficult with Elite NY as the agency is still “under construction”…
http://switching-models.over-blog.com
I wanna write some facts about this whole thing:
-I think that the topless shots are ok, they are not vulgar, but sometimes is too much boobs and less fashion, but the same problem I have with the male models because they almost always are shot with their shirt off, so soemtimes I got tired
-It’s kind of sad that Elite is going down and it is not able to recover from the ashes.
-IMG has one of the most amazing new faces that I have ever seeing, but they put on the great girls, I think IMG should promote more of these girls.
-Supreme is alive just because of Daphne and Jacquelyn, they should put some effort and try to go back to what they used to be.
-It was kind of weird for me that Ford did NOT feature some of their men because they really have amazing guys, even though is a women’s magazine.
-The Women MGMT shots are dissapointing, I mean they have Mariacarla, Natasha and Lea! come on!
-After I saw the video of the behind the scenes I realized that the models were paired up accordind to what they stand;
1)Lindsey and Bambi :Under 20
2)Candice (the “top model”) and Joan: the sexy ones
3)Daphne and Saskia: the odd beauty
4)Sui and Hannaa: the exotic girls
-Vlada is one of the most talked topics in this preview and I must say that I love Vlada but sometimes I can’t figured out who is she as a person, nothing against her, I mean I love her walk but I want her to standout more, you know?
-Someone reply about my comment about Candice not being a top model saying that every photographer and editor loves her and blah, I have to words for that person: Tati Cotliar, if being love by Marc Jacobs, Vivienne Westwood and Miuccia Prada is nothing, I don’t know what would it be. style and personality, the whole package.Even though I’m kind of sad that the “Argentinean Wave” it’s almost in her ashes, they are still many argentinean who must be on top any time soon.
-Finally, I would like that Vman does a model issue
Super article!
agencies didnt feature powerhouse models. img is the only agency that stuck to powerhouses. other agencies felt it was an opportunity to fit as many models as possible into the editorial. appears a bit desperate
Love candice and Joan. could do without Lindsey and daphne.
Yes@Not on the guest list says
Vlada’s personality lacks at times? I think in interviews she comes accross as a nice fun person. And I must admit knowing english is her second language, would think after being in the fashion industry, with all those many diff faces and characters, that her english would’ov really improved by now? I watch her ftv interviews and when she is asked about the designers collection, it seems she cannnot properly describe what it is she thinks on them? Than again many eastern european models are like this? lol Vlada is still one of the best. 🙂 Sad when her time is up and is no longer featured on runways, very sad 🙁 x
ITS ALL ABOUT VLADA!!!!!!!!! <3
Don’t hate on Candice! She’s the Hottest and the Biggest Model Right now.
All the other girls will be forgotten soon, but Candice will have the longest career!
Vlada b tearin it up in hurrr. yupyuup X
Linda is looking so good these days!! Would love to see a Models.com interview with her!! 😉
Maybe i didnt see her but WHERES KASIA!!
Amazing portfolio!
I FIND FASHION CONFUSING… I FIND IT, AS PHOTOGRAPHY IS, TO BE A VERY BACK-BITING AESTHETIC… MUCH MORE INTERESTED IN THE PROCESS THAN THE FINAL OUTCOME – THE SUPERFICIAL IS WHAT IS CRAVED AFTER ALL R.E. FASHION… I CAN ACTUALLY SAY THAT MY INITIAL OUTLOOK AND VIEWPOINT REGARDS FASHION AND CELEBRITY STILL STANDS FIRM – THAT THE MORE IGNORANT I AM OF WHO IS WHO AND WHAT IS WHAT IN THE SARTORIAL REGIME OF FASHION STANDARDS – THEN THE MORE HAPPY AND FRUITFUL THE IMAGES…
ADIOS!
This issue is one of the must have issues of V Magazine. I got my printed issue a week ago and I am so happy to see these great photos of all the models that I enjoy their work. Of course, fantastic photography. I’ve been a V Mag subscriber for several years, and in the past two years I had not been as excited to receive the issue as I am right now. By the way, kudos to Models.com for such a great layout and design with this story.
Where is Snejana??? HAHA and they could have so much time and money had they just put Gemma Ward. Okay cross out the money. But Most of these models resembles her so much! The fashion Industry obviously hasn’t moved on with her ethereal, alien look. One face to rule them all. GEMMA WARD.
they could have saved
maryna and anais in the dna section are too hot
