Anna Ewers (Women)
The German beauty is definitely one whose face we will remember for years to come. Seriously, this stunner was featured in an impressive number of advertising campaigns, including Moncler Gamme Rouge Fall 2014, Alexander Wang Fall 2014, Versace Fall 2014, B. Balenciaga fragrance Fall 2014, Alexander Wang Spring 2014, Prada Spring 2014 and Versace Spring 2014. She landed the covers of such major publications as W November 2014, Vogue China October 2014, Vogue Italia September 2014 and Vogue Paris August 2014, plus walked for over 40 shows this season.
Living the busy life of a model, Anna manages to keep a sweet and friendly attitude, which makes her even more attractive (if that’s even possible). Forum members feel that there’s something special about Anna, something that makes her stand out. Nepenthes says, "Her presence on the runway blows me away every single time. Such power and star quality! I'm in love!" Urban Stylin is sure that there’s something cinematic in Anna’s looks, stating that “she has that vintage Bond Girl look about her." We can only guess how far this new muse of Alexander Wang may go.

Kate Grigorieva (The Lions)
A stunning Russian, her strong walk was her trademark feature on Russia's Next Top Model. She really does walk like no other and is truly unique. Perhaps it’s her gorgeous looks combined with confidence and an effortless attitude that make us swoon. As Valentine27 mentions, it’s love "at first sight."
We saw Kate on the covers of Numéro November 2014 and Vogue Russia November 2014, in the advertising campaign of M Missoni Fall 2014 and walking for such big names like Alexander Wang, Balmain, Versus Versace, Givenchy, Carolina Herrera, Celine, Ralph Lauren, Oscar de la Renta and Versace. But being beautiful is not enough to make it in the industry, which bluestar points out: “This girl is so versatile. She goes from being feminine and pretty at Herrera, to being ultra sexy at Versus. She is amaaazing.”
Keep an eye out for Kate next month as she walks in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.

Lexi Boling (Ford)
Lexi's a stunning Chicago native who never fails to amaze us with her work. This season, Lexi walked for more than 50 shows, including Calvin Klein, Diane von Furstenberg, Michael Kors, Proenza Schouler and Balenciaga. Lexi continued her brilliant performance by appearing in the advertising campaigns of Tommy Hilfiger Fall 2014, Alexander Wang Fall 2014, Coach Fall 2014, Prada Pre-Fall 2014 and Prada Spring 2014. The print work of this gorgeous model is beyond amazing as Lexi scored the cover of Numéro September 2014 and was featured in Vogue Italia FOUR times (for October 2014, then on the covers for September 2014, July 2014 and May 2014).
Forum member Legolas admires Lexi and says, “She's one of my new favorites for sure, love her in every shot.” Nepenthes gets to the gist of it: “This girl is epic. Enough said." Lexi has got all the potential to make a lasting performance in the industry, and we can’t wait to see what’s next for her.

Julia Bergshoeff (DNA)
Julia Bergshoeff dominated the runways this season, walking for over 50 shows, including Marc Jacobs, Burberry Prorsum, Tom Ford, Fendi and Chanel. Following the incredible runway performance, Julia scored some impressive campaigns, including Gucci Resort 2015, Proenza Schouler Fall 2014 and Prada Spring 2014. Her versatility and great editorial skills can be seen on the pages of such magazines as Self Service, Vogue Paris, i-D, British Vogue and Interview.
Forum members are positive that Julia is a star in the making. Starry mentions that “she's definitely building up the momentum." MyNameIs writes, “She looks so chic and sophisticated. I hope she manages to stick around because she's truly one of the few bright spots on the runway these days." In fact, Julia seems to be building her way up in the industry as she recently modeled for Proenza Schouler's debut swimwear line. Good things are sure to come for Julia!

Rianne Van Rompaey (DNA)
This graceful redhead from the Netherlands has charmed us with her exquisite looks and delicate runway performance by walking exclusively for Louis Vuitton and Prada this season. Having appeared on the catwalks for only a few moments, Rianne still got forum members to fall in love with her. Modelista admits that she “loves a lovely, delicate redheaded beauty. Good for her walking Prada."
Along with the great runway walk, Rianne is a total star in editorials, her beauty is just meant to be captured. The gorgeous redhead graced the pages of AnOther, Document Journal, Holiday magazine, LOVE and U.S. Vogue October 2014, totally rocking it each time. Pellucid loved her editorial in AnOther: “She is seriously impressive in print. My eyes go straight to her in the first photo, I just wish she had more than two shots." Rianne seems to have amazing prospects for a successful career in modeling.

Jackson Hale (SUPA)
This striking male model from London has taken the industry by storm, appearing in major shows, editorials and advertising campaigns. Jackson’s recent work includes the shows of Burberry, Paul Smith, DKNY, J.W.Anderson and Topman, plus advertising campaigns for Balmain Fall 2014 and Topman Fall 2014, as well as spreads in CLIENT magazine, L'Officiel Hommes Italia and HERO magazine. Jackson seems as if he were meant to model. His strong personality, confidence and mix of Indian, Trinidadian and English backgrounds seem to be doing the trick.
Forum members are amazed by Jackson and his potential. HeatherAnne hopes that “he sticks around for years to come," while TREVOFASHIONISTO says, “Love his success, completely deserved." Moreover, modeling runs in Jackson’s family as his father and brother used to model, too. With his charm and good looks, we expect big things for Jackson.

Ben Allen (Select)
The London-born stunner is the perfect example of a seasoned professional at a young age. The 19 year old was one of the most in-demand catwalkers this season, walking the shows of Prada, Gucci, Bottega Veneta, Roberto Cavalli, Valentino and Dior Homme. Perhaps Ben’s captivating looks can be related to the fact that the model is of American, Native American, Australian and English background. The handsome Londoner starred in the advertising campaigns of COS Spring 2014, Ermenegildo Zegna Spring 2014, Neil Barrett Spring 2014, Z Zegna Spring 2014 and Gucci Resort 2015. It seems like Ben’s awesome editorial skills didn’t go unnoticed as he scored the covers of Men's Uno International, GQ Trends issue, SID Magazine and editorials in T Magazine, Glass, L'Officiel Hommes, Arena Homme + Korea, Fantastic Man, GQ (in various countries) and Numéro Homme.
Forum members are thrilled that with such cutthroat competition, Ben still manages to deliver. HeatherAnne says, “It's such a tough market nowadays for men, with more and more newbies pushing them off the runways each season, glad Ben is still heavily in demand from all the best labels. He's looked perfect at each showing." With great looks, a professional attitude and an amazing personality, there is a strong feeling that Ben is up for a bright future in the industry.

Mariano Ontañon (Re:Quest)
Hailing from Argentina, this 23-year-old model is taking over the fashion world. Mariano has appeared on the pages of Vogue Paris, GQ Spain, Vogue Japan, as well as in advertising campaigns for SVEVO Parma Spring 2014, Just Cavalli Spring 2014, Gas Jeans Spring 2014 and MSGM Fall 2014. With a smoking hot body and a charming smile, it’s hardly surprising that Mariano is featured all over the Dolce & Gabbana line (the fashion show, lookbook and even the advertising campaign). The photogenic model has also scored covers of 7th Man Magazine, HACHI MAG and Reflex Homme.
Forum members can’t resist his charm either. Davide1412 says that “Mariano has definitely the best smile” and happycanadian admits that “he's like a complete dream man! soooo sweet looking and sexy as all get out." So with all the great makings, there are high hopes that Mariano’s career will continue to rise.
