Your Top Women's Casting of S/S 15

[HeatherAnne]

Your Top Women's Casting of S/S 15
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:

Top New Faces:

Top Relatively New Faces:
-Alexandra Elisabeth

Top Established:

Top Veterans:
-Joan Smalls
-Aymeline Valade
-Catherine McNeil
-Natasha Poly
-Gemma Ward

Models that I wish had a better season:
-Maggie Jablonski
-Ysaunny Brito
-Lieke van Houten
-Riley Montana (even though she opened Balmain, she deserves more)
-Alissa Ahmann
-Maria Borges
-Irene Hiemstra
soooo many great girls plummeted this season

Coolest casting moments:
-Hands down Gemma opening Prada. I wish Lara had a moment somewhere else because Gemma completely stole the spotlight.
-Naty Chabanenko showing up at Derek Lam & Tom Ford.
-Joan opening Marc Jacobs. I know it wasn't a big deal to most, but I don't think anyone expected her to even be at that show, let alone open.
-I don't like Charlotte Free, but her skating down the runway at Moschino was fun….

Best casts:
-Emilio Pucci (the best my a long mile)
-Prada (after getting past the Gemma excitement, I realized just how good & diverse the cast was)
-Louis Vuitton (every single girl fit the show)

Worst casts:
-Gucci (WTF happened to my beloved Gucci????)
-Sonia Rykiel (nepotism nightmare)
-Tom Ford (he needs a new casting director right away. None of those girls could walk.)

Overall, it was a terribly disappointing season in terms of diversity & high turnover rates for a lot of really great models. So many models' careers are probably ruined just by this one season. SMH.
