Fall/Winter 2008

Top Picks

I don't generally allow agents to influece my picks at the end of fashion week, but I was swayed by one this week who suggested I do not pick a Top Agency this season. Each of the agencies, it was suggested, really stepped up this year, and it wouldn't be fair to single out one above the rest.

I agree. The agencies should all be congratulated for really getting behind an event that hasn't always been respectful of them.

As for the models, there was so much talent this season, and trying to rank them wasn't easy. Modelresource's only clear choice is #1, Kelsey Van Mook, who was equally omnipresent and enchanting; and all of her bookings coming without the advantage of agency exclusive shows.
