The new androgyny, the year of Lara, the unstoppable Baptiste, the size issue… What will 2010 be remembered for? Which models, campaigns, covers and editorials? Here are what we considered the highlights of the year, in numbers and images.<\/p>\n

2010 was a whirlwind year for fashion; it is hard to think of another year where so many revolutions took place. From shakeups at the biggest magazine’s in the world, to the deaths of beloved designers, the year was marked by dramatic change and visionary reinventions.<\/p>\n

2010 was also a landmark year for Models.com. We began the year with a sneak peek at V’s boundary pushing Size Issue<\/a> and ended behind the scenes with Phillip Lim<\/a>, quite a journey. Interviews with fashion luminaries like Katie Grand<\/a>, Edward Enninful<\/a>, Olivier Theyskens<\/a> and Anna Dello Russo<\/a> the launch of Rad Hourani’s S\/S 11 collection video<\/a> and an exclusive preview of Esteban Cortazar’s collaboration with Exito<\/a> pushed the site into new realms traffic wise and broadened our scope beyond the modeling industry. Our features allowed us a glimpse into the lives of our favorite creative talent, while expanding the definition of what the site could be. <\/p>\n
