The Next Big (skinny) Thing

amanda laine ford model contest.jpgLast year, V named Amanda Laine their model search winner.

Since then, the Canadian’s walked everything from Alex Wang to McQueen, Miu Miu to Vuitton. She’s been in V (obviously), Interview, POP, Numero, W, Bazaar and more. Needless to say, Stephen Gan’s eye for runway potential has a one up on Tyra’s.

So now the mag’s teamed up with Ford Models and thrown Alexander Wang onto their judging panel to find the next superstar. They’ve already received over 6000 online entries, but you have until June 29th to submit your profile on their site.

Finalists will be announced July 3rd and from there the winner gets an editorial in V and a contract with Ford, which is kind of priceless. Gan wants to, “unearth the next classic female beauty with a twist.”

If that’s you, you better get a move on.

Addison won last year but she hasn't been so successful. Kind of weird that Ford would be the agency involved this year since it's been so commercial in its aesthetic lately. Maybe signals a new direction it's going. Caplan is gone now but this V/Ford partnership was forged before he left.
