Your Top Women's Casting of F/W 14.15

[HeatherAnne]

Your Top Women's Casting of S/S 14
We've been doing this for awhile now, postseason for both men and women. It's a lot of fun and always ends up being more original than the the standard top 10's we see on other sites.

1) Who were everyone's 5 favorite new/relatively new faces and 5 veterans/returners this year.
2) Also your top cast overall and your worst cast overall.
3) Your single coolest casting moment [ex. Kate Moss showing up at Louis Vuitton, Vanessa Anxente closing Miu Miu, etc.]

Past season's thread as an example of how it works:

How could I forget Kinga? Definitely one of the best moments of the season for me. Especially those first six girls at the show.

I forgot to add Waleska to my favourite newcomers. Bored me with every appearance, but I still like her

hahaha yeah!! Saw a video of her though after a show and I immediately realized how gorgeous she is in real life. She's one of those girls who doesn't photograph well but is stunning in real life.

Might be a problem for a model?
