THE MODEL 100

An annual ranking of the one hundred most influential professionals in the modeling industry: models and behind-the-scenes alike. The inaugural edition is forthcoming.

Methodology

The ranking is compiled by the editorial desk from a full season of reporting: show packages, campaign bookings, agency movements, and the judgment of working professionals across the trade. Influence is measured by professional consequence: who changed how the industry works this year.

The panel includes editors, casting directors, agents, photographers, and working models. No ranked list is published before the editorial process runs; no placement is for sale.

Categories

The 100 spans new faces, established models, curve divisions, menswear, mother agents, scouts, casting directors, bookers, photographers, stylists, hair and makeup artists, dressers, and fit models: the whole cabine, not just the runway.

Sponsorship

One title sponsor anchors each annual edition. The charter title sponsorship is $4,500, proposed, pending final sign-off. Category prizes may carry named sponsors. Sponsors have no influence on the ranking.
