Yeah? Well, about twenty years ago there was this guy. He noticed some mold growing on his bread and he started feeding it to people. Everybody said he was stupid. You know what it turned out to be? Aspirin!

Here it is- my top 10 girls from NYFW, in order.

1. Toni Garnn/ Karlie Kloss- The blondes are on top again. This season the New York runways were ruled by the baby blondes Toni Garrn and Karlie Kloss. This half of the CK4 did pretty much every notable NY show, opening a closing more than a handful of them. Karlie was a strong runway girl last season, while people have questioned Toni’s staying power- but this season they were the two most visible stompers on the lanes.

2. Jourdan Dunn- I know I sound like a broken record- but, I love to say I told you so. Everyone knew that the all of the black model talk was going to lead to some sort of change, and I knew that Jourdan would be at the front of the pack. Jourdan, Arlenis and Sessilee were on every major runway of the week, but Jourdan was definitely the coveted girl- the only black girl walking Calvin Klein and walking all the best looks of the the season.

3. Amanda Laine- Who would have thought that a girl found from a internet model search would end up gracing the runways of every influential designer working. But Amanda has done just that. She has been the dark horse of fashion week, with her long face and her geeky appeal, this Canadian is showing Tyra how to “be on top.”

4. Anna Selezneva- As expected, Anna won of the the three coveted CK exclusives. She was in town for less than 48 hours and managed to DJ the V Magazine soiree and walk Calvin. The buzz is saying that she will be on the top of the booking lists in Europe.

5. Sessilee Lopez- Talk about a comeback. Thank you Stephen Meisel.

6. Anya K- Even though she wasn’t an exclusive, Marilyn’s Anya K took the coveted first girl out spot at CK. When it comes to modeling, CK is definitely the show that changes careers and with that spot and spots in all the best  line-ups for the week- Anya is definitely looking at a very busy month.

7. Katrin Thormann- Coming pretty much out of no where to appear on a Dazed and Confused cover right before fashion week put Katrin in a pretty good place work wise. The sharp blonde was a favorite of all the big guns and looked particularly perfect for Narcisco Rodriguez.

8. Ali Michaels- A little controversy never hurt no one. After going on Good Morning America to talk about being sent home from Paris fashion week for a weight gain, Ali was definitely visable in NY. Whether it was sympathy booking or not, I am really glad to see her working again- and I dare say, she looked quite skinny.

9. Iris Strubeggar- Iris is another girl that everyone thought was new in the ranks, but she has actually been with Supreme for quite a while. She was not modeling for a couple of years, and the agency saw a perfect opportunity to bring her back into the bussiness with a substainal buzz- the plan paid off.

10. Eniko Mihalik- She isn’t quite my cup of tea, but Eniko was definitely one of the stars of NYFW. She has a killer body that has designers gagging; and you know I’m a sucker for a slutty number. Not only was she wearing the most revealing looks, she was also revealing it all in a 20 pages spread in the new V shot by her number 1 fans, Inez and Vinoodh.
