NYFW starts in less than a week, and castings have been taking place recently!
Who do you think will be the breakout stars of S/S 2013?
Which models will be everywhere?
Which designer collections are you most excited for?
Which designer collections are you dreading?
I'm hoping for way less newbies, or at least newbies that can walk
Hoping the runways for NY and London will have more star power, I was getting tired of the newbie overload last season 
I definitely think Elza Luijendijk will be the breakout star of S/S 13. We didn't really get to see her much during F/W 12 because of her Prada exclusive, so I hope to see her tearing up the runways in all 4 cities <3 Other relatively new girls that I think will do well: Kati Nescher, Xiao Wen Ju, Kolfinna Kristofersdottir, Melissa Tammerijn, Vanessa Axente, Ava Smith, Nadja Bender, Franzi Mueller. They'll mostly brunettes though, and this might be the season of the blondes since it's S/S and all :-/
Hoping AusNTM 7 winner Montana Cox will have another good season after doing well in Milan and Paris (she skipped New York and London) last season. She had visa problems, so she wasn't able to make it to some of the castings in NY, but I'm sure she'll pop up here and there in NY and then do well in the other 3 cities.
Newbies to look out for: Vanja Maria and Alejandra Infante. These 2 girls are rumored to be Givenchy exclusives.
Rose Cordero and Kirsi Pyrhonen are making comebacks this season, looking forward to seeing how well they'll do. I can't see Kirsi having the same success she had during S/S 12, considering all the hype around her has died down and her feet have not gotten any smaller. I hope Rose does really well though, she's one of my favorite ethnic models!! Hoping Freja and Snejana will make comebacks on the runway, now that Freja is back from her break and Snejana got 3 campaigns out of nowhere last season.
Daphne is skipping NYFW (if not more), I hope she has a terrible campaign season and fades away
The usual culprits will probably be at all the shows. Karlie, Aymeline, Frida, Kasia, Karmen, Natasha, etc. Can't wait to see how Karlie will do campaign-wise, now that she's walking a full season AND signed to IMG. If she can nab OG campaigns for Elie Saab, JPG, Stefanel, Americana Manhasset, and Juicy Couture after skipping 3 out of 4 cities, I bet she'll have an amazing season now that she's under better management and walking in all 4 cities
Excited to see collections from Alexander McQueen, Haider Ackermann, Elie Saab, Jason Wu, and Oscar de la Renta.
Apprehensive for Chanel and Marc Jacobs...I've never been a fan of Karl Lagerfeld, but his last few collections in particular have been less than stellar. Marc Jacobs for Louis Vuitton is so great, but his designs for his own line are just so terrible Definitely not looking forward to Dior...

Glad to see Karlie opening
