Top Ten Models to Watch
By Doria Santlofer and James Lim
Each season, a new crop of girls (and guys) comes strutting down the runways. But which ones will be the breakout stars? We found the season's top ten guys and girls, all of whom you'll be seeing plenty of come fashion week. And some of these could very well be the next Chanel Iman or Agyness Deyn. Hedge your bets now.
Models to Watch
Alla Kostromicheva
The 5'11" Ukranian model made her debut on the runways in March 2008 and quickly rose to top during the fall 2009 shows, with bookings at Alexander Wang, Calvin Klein, and Donna Karan in New York, and Balenciaga, Louis Vuitton, and Valentino in Paris. Her editorial cred is growing, too, with whisperings of an upcoming Steven Meisel Italian Vogueshoot circulating in the industry. Alla’s serious looks have made her a favorite of the artier set: She's got a V story by David Sims, editorials in A Magazine, Tokion, 10 Magazine, and Plastique under her belt. After shooting her for Plastique, photographer Steve Hiett raved, saying that Alla has the two of the most important traits of a model: “She moves amazingly well and she is utterly enthusiastic.”
