Rankings
biography
Birth Date: September 10, 1988
Country of origin: Canada

One of the most popular models in recent memory, Coco Rocha is truly a model media darling. Her practice of Irish step dancing has endeared her to not only the jaded industry elite but to the general masses as well. See her official website: http://www.coco-rocha.com/


in Feb 2006 she was MDC’s vote for the newcomer most likely to return as girl most wanted. True to form the former professional Irish dancer has highlighted Balenciaga two seasons in a row, rocked the covers of Vogue Italia and US Vogue and looms as a blue chip runway must book. Just ask Gaultier.


biography
Birth Date: December 20, 1983
Country of origin: Netherlands Lara Stone was born to a Dutch mother and an English father in the town of Geldrop, the Netherlands and grew up in Mierlo, Netherlands.First discovered in the Paris Metro when she was 12, she then went on to participate in the Elite Model Look competition at age 15.

She became the primary choice for editorials and advertising campaigns after signing with IMG in 2006. Lara is not a fan of the runway because of her unusually small feet of someone of her size. Because the shoes are usually too big for her, she sometimes goes down the runway thinking "Do not fall, do not fall!" (from Vogue Paris interview Feb 09).And they said it would never happen in our lifetime... namely a model who is a cultural sensation...But Ms. Stone is that rare model who sells not only campaign product but moves covers (see Interview, Love, W, Vogue Paris) inspires designers (see Marc Jacobs for Vuitton SS 10) and confirms that a compelling personality makes fashion all that more vivid and dynamic.
