Your Top Women's Casting of S/S 14

[HeatherAnne]

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:
Your Top Women's Casting of F/W 13
Your Top Women's Casting of S/S 13

Favorite New Faces: Malaika Firth, Lexi Boling, Cassi van den Dungen, Irma Spies, Mariana Santana
Favorite Veterans/Returners: Snejana Onopka, Jasmine Tookes, Katya Riabinkina, Miranda Kerr, Vanessa Axente

[Vitamine W]

Loved the Middle Eastern and Indian vibe this season in two standout newcomers, hands down my 2 absolute favorites;

1 Imaan Hammam excl @Givenchy
2 Neelam Johal excl @Burburry

Would have loved to see them in more shows, hopefully they'll bring down this other racial barrier bit by bit. It was great seeing more overall diversity and im including the resurgence of blondes this season Binx was already my favorite last season so Ill skip her for now. Others that struck me are Irina Liss, Harleth Kuusik, Mariana Santana, Estella Brons and Holly May. Lasting power however maybe Anna Ewers & Amanda Wellsh.
With the risk of being lynched; i was disappointed in Malaika, I found her runway presence lacking in energy and power even though she looked stunning. Furthermore im over Ashleigh Good. Looking forward to next season and especially Julia Berghoef.

Favorite veteran; Iekeliene, Snejana & MALGOSIA!
Favorite cast; DVF, Paco Rabanne, JPG, Rykiel, Givenchy.
Favorite casting moment. No competition; Jean Paul Gaultier.

[HeatherAnne]

New Faces
- Mariska van der Zee: Glad she landed 1 power show, I think she has the potential to explode in the future. So chic.
- Tiana Tolstoi: Finally a break! As amazing as expected.
- Veridiana: Very frustrated by her lack of success, but she was perfection at her showings.

Returners

Single Coolest Casting Moment: - Caroline Brasch Nielsen's showing at Hermes was perfect harmony to me. Kirsty Hume at Proenza was pure gold.

Best Cast: Saint Laurent (yeah, I said it) & Dries.
Worst Cast: Miu Miu after the diversity in their campaign and their promise to do better, they've already forgotten.
