Remember when Vogue Paris published their definitive models of the 2000s list? Well now we're beginning to reach the last part of our decade and I am wondering who will be looked back upon as being part of the group of models that defined the 2010s. Who do you think would be on that list and why? Here's who I would see being on that list.
Joan Smalls - She was MDC's #1 model in 2012 and although not everyone agreed with that placement IMO she deserved it. Even though so many new models have come and gone since then Joan has somehow always managed to score at least one major blue chip campaign every season. Just when you think she might drift away, she proves she's still relevant and in demand by scoring top notch campaigns and editorials and commercial work. She's been able to balance commercial and high fashion magnificently so I have no doubt she will be one of the most remembered and cherished models of the 2010s.
Edie Campbell - She's been the high fashion queen for the past several years. She's really one of the models to define high fashion of the mid 2010s. She has an unconventional, unique beauty that photographers and designers adore.
Fei Fei Sun - Although she's not as popular as Kendall and Gigi, Fei Fei has definitely stayed blue chip throughout her entire career. Her longevity shows that she has staying power. I really am glad that she didn't fade away after a season or two because she is just so powerful and lovely in editorials. It's no wonder she continues booking prestigious work.
Liu Wen - Although she hasn't had the high fashion success of Joan or Fei Fei, she's still done amazing for herself. She continues to get high profile commercial work and is a strong presence on social media. There's something understated about her beauty that I think photographers and designers like. I do feel that Liu will have her high fashion moment at the end of this decade after focusing on commercial work for the past few years.
Saskia de Brauw - I sort of see Saskia being what Liu is for commercial she is for high fashion. Saskia simply is one of the biggest high fashion girls of the decade. She took Iris Strubegger's spot as the high fashion androgynous girl and has consistently booked top campaigns since her debut.
Anna Ewers - She's no one season wonder. She's continued going strong and although I feel a bit oversaturated by her she's no doubt going to be one of the defining models of the mid 2010s.
Imaan Hammam - While she hasn't had the high fashion ad campaign success I've hoped for so far, her editorial work and covers speak for itself. She's done amazingly well and is a favorite of American Vogue. She's going to have a big moment at some point. I can feel all this editorial and campaign success building up to something grand.
Lineisy Montero - She's credited for bringing in the Dominican model wave. She's still a force to be reckoned with on runways and her editorial work and campaign work has been consistent since her debut.
Vittoria Cerretti - She's no one season wonder and she's proving it by continuing to book great work.
Cara, Gigi, Bella, and Kendall - I don't like them but I have to include them for obvious reasons that I don't like or care to talk about.
Natalie Westling - High fashion and still in demand after several seasons.
Mica Agranarez - Same thing as Natalie Westling.
Jourdan Dunn and Karlie Kloss - They're not getting the high fashion editorial work they used to but they have remained a strong in social media and still get big commercial work.
Arizona Muse - She was one of the defining models of the early part of the decade and has recently made a comeback with an only girl Chanel campaign,
Some other models I could see being included in the list would be Daria Strokous, Andreea D, Amanda Murphy, Binx Walton, Lexi Boling, Kiki W, Adwoa, Irina S, Candice S, Kati Nescher, Aymeline and girls who were working in the 90s and 2000s that I can see being added to the list include Mariacarla, Freja, Raquel, Lara Stone, Natasha Poly, Karmen Pedaru, Anja Rubik, etc.
