Fall 2011’s top runway model is Arizona Muse. The American mom picked up sixteen coveted opening or closing looks this season, opening for Dolce & Gabbana and Anna Sui and closing for Vera Wang and Versace. But Muse seemed like a surefire favorite this season: Before the shows started, she walked in the Chanel couture and Valentino couture shows in January; replaced Daria Werbowy as the sole face of Yves Saint Laurent; and received a glowing mention from Anna Wintour in Vogue’s February 2011 issue (she called Muse a mix between Linda Evangelista and Natalia Vodianova).
Strong seasons were also had by Jourdan Dunn, who closed Jason Wu and opened and closed Burberry Prorsum. And while last season’s catwalk queen, Karlie Kloss, remained in the top ten, she slid a few notches, making way for Daphne Groeneveld. At just 16, the Dutch model opened for Vera Wang, Altuzarra, Hervé Léger, Rick Owens, and Calvin Klein.
