04.16.08 TOP 10 MODELS OF FALL 2008: #8 DARIA STROKOUS
After a quiet start, IMG's new face is poised for a big Spring '09

 

8. Daria Strokous (IMG) 

Daria is undoubtedly one of the best new girls to have arrived on the Fall/Winter 2008 scene, but this season things didn't blow up quite as huge as some had anticipated. Sometimes a slow New York season belies the storm that is Europe. And a steady start with exits for Narciso Rodriguez, Gap, and DKNY did set a platform for Milan, where she walked Jil Sander, Pringle, and Daks. Paris, although quiet, saw her star turns at huge houses like Lanvin and Givenchy, before she headed back home to finish school. With an innocent (yet totally intelligent) ingénue look to her, there's no doubt in my mind that next season this young Russian will claim her rightful place among the new runway stars. For the here and now, be sure to catch her in V53's IMG Powerhouse feature, photographed by Mario Sorrenti.
