Reason: They Made Modeling Look Cool AgainThere was a brief time during the late '90s when modeling began to lose it's "cool" look.
Sure, there was Kate Moss who revolutionalized modeling at the time with Heroin Chic, but this was after that.
Not since Christy Turlington, Linda Evangelista and Naomi Campbell, has there been a certain "In-Crowd" when it came to models - until a few years ago, when a new wave of SuperModels came out. They were grouped because of their similar baby doll-like features.
The model who started this, was none other than Aussie beauty Gemma Ward.
Lazaro Hernandez of Proenza Schouler told Teen Vogue in February 2006 that, "She looked like no one else at the time. She was this alien, and fashion is always looking for newness."
Following Gemma, there was Vlada Roslyakova, Heather Marks, Lily Cole, Lisa Cant, Jessica Stam and, of course, Lily Donaldson.
Here they are (and apparently they're good friends) backstage at Luella Spring 2007 RTW.
Rock on.
