The year was particularly busy for this Tommy Hilfiger brand ambassador, who also designed a collection for the label and fronted a campaign for a leading sportswear brand. The most in-demand model of the moment even co-hosted the 2016 American Music Awards and featured in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in Paris. Her 69 million fans on Instagram make Kendall Jenner the most followed model of the moment. In 2016 alone, she starred in shoots for La Perla, Elie Saab, Estée Lauder, Marc Jacobs and Fendi to name just a few. She was also picked to appear in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. While she hasn’t yet reached the same heights as her sister, Bella Hadid’s career really took off in 2016. Increasingly booked by major labels, the model has bagged contracts with Dior and more. She was invited to the Cannes Film Festival for the first time in 2016 and later took the runway for Victoria’s Secret. The American model was up there with the most bookable faces for this year’s fashion shows. For the spring/summer 2017 season alone, she took to the runway for Miu Miu, Chanel, Sacai, Givenchy, Valentino, Prada, Dior, Lanvin, Saint Laurent, Versace and Fendi. Named Model of the Year at the 2015 British Fashion Awards, Jourdan Dunn built on her success in 2016 with a busy schedule of shows and shoots. She notably starred in campaigns for Kate Spade New York, Balmain and Liu-Jo, and graced the front pages of several magazines.
