Models.com just released their Top 50 Female Model's List, naming Joan Smalls their number one female model in the fashion industry. Joan is a 24 year old, 5'10.5 model with agency IMG New York and London, and hails from Puerto Rico. Models.com describes Joan as:
An innate elegance and multi-cultural beauty. Joan Smalls has become the defining face of modern luxury. Her unique blend of strength and elegance has captivated everyone from Karl Lagerfeld, Steven Meisel, and Carine Roitfeld. Her flawless bookings raise the bar for models everywhere. Vogue Italia, Vogue Paris, Pop, i-D, V, W, there isn't a cover she hasn't conquered, nor a campaign she hasn't landed. With the coup de grâce of an Estee Lauder contract solidifying her place as the girl of the moment, Joan moved from phenom to full-fledged powerhouse. Few models have seized their moment in such chic style.

Miss Smalls has been, without a doubt, one of my favorite models to date and is recognized for her campaign with Estee Lauder, and her numerous covers on top magazines like Australian and Italian Vogue, W Magazine- US and many many more. Joan is beyond stunning, has an extremely fierce cat walk and appeals to a wide audience. Since she is so young, I am sure we will be seeing a lot more of Joan and her accomplisments in the fashion industry!
