The end of December is always chalk-full with retrospectives, 'top 10' lists, and editors giving their two-cents about the year's ultimate highlights. One of the countdowns that we always look forward to is Models.com's annual Model of the Year Awards, revealed Friday.
This year's coveted place for Model of the Year: Women was taken by Industry favourite Anna Ewers, who had a whopping five Vogue covers in 2015 alone, and starred in campaigns for Chanel, Moschino, Marc Jacobs, and long-time fan Alexander Wang. The Reader's Choice award in this category went to Gigi Hadid, who was the face of 9 different brands this year, and landed covers for Vogue, W, Elle, and Numéro. Other nominees included Binx Walton, Andreja Pejic, Karlie Kloss, Joan Smalls, Kendall Jenner, Lexi Boling, and more.
