World's top models?



While Gisele Bundchen may be the world's highest-earning, and Kate Moss is arguably the most famous, the world's top models by industry standards are rather less familiar names.

You may not have heard of the likes of Freja Beha Erichsen and Abbey Lee Kershaw, but the top five alone have collectively appeared on 265 magazine covers, walked 232 catwalk shows and have 115,000 Twitter followers.

According to new research by the Fashion Spot, Polish runway star Anja Rubik was the most in-demand girl between April 2010 and April this year. The 26-year-old posed on an impressive 59 magazine covers and appeared on 43 designers' runways.

But that is a small workload compared to Constance Jablonski, 20, who walked for an impressive 83 designers in the past year alone. That is in addition to appearing on 46 magazine covers.

Lara Stone, the Dutch-born model wife of comedian David Walliams is probably the most famous of the five thanks to her gap-toothed smile and bombshell curves.
The 27-year-old ranked third in the list of the most in-demand, but due to her contract with Calvin Klein, her appearances have been fewer than her peers, with only two runway shows and 47 magazine covers.

Danish model Freja Beha Erichsen is one of the industry's most popular names, having landed high-profile campaigns for Chanel and Valentino. In addition to appearing on 65 different covers and in 51 shows, she also starred in a short film by Karl Lagerfeld.

Abbey Lee Kershaw rounds out the top five. The Melbourne-born 24-year-old has also modelled for Chanel, as well as Tom Ford, and has been hailed Australia's biggest model export since Elle Macpherson.
While each girl's workload does not mirror how in-demand she is, their number of Twitter followers and Google searches echoes the ranking more accurately.

Numer 1. ANJA RUBIK
