Women’s International Day

To celebrate Women’s International Day, see which breathtakingly beautiful women made it into Forbes’ Top 10 Highest Model Earners of 2012.

1.Gisele Bündchen $45million

This is Gisele’s sixth consecutive year as the number one earner in the modeling industry! Since retiring from being a Victoria’s Secret Angel in 2007, Gisele has launched her own sandal collection called “Ipanema Gisele Bundchen,” as well as her own skincare line; has endorsement deals with Esprit, Pantene, and Versace; and works in real estate! This Spring 2013 season, Gisele has starred in campaigns for Salvatore Ferragamo, Givenchy, and Versace. In February 2013, she became the face of Chanel’s new makeup range.

The Top 10 Fashion Films of the Season

What makes a successful fashion film? Is it a strong visual concept? Content that can be quickly parsed? A savvy distribution strategy? Humour? Provocation? A famous model or a catchy soundtrack? Creating compelling fashion videos has always been more art than science. But as we set about compiling our ranking of this season’s best films, we saw some interesting commonalities.

While Cartier’s 3-minute CGI epic “L’Odyssée de Cartier” — which has appeared on network television and earned 14 million views on YouTube in just over a month — is a clear exception, the average length of the most successful films has dropped noticeably from just a few seasons ago. Indeed, several of this season’s top picks, including films from Lanvin, Prada, ASOS, Alexander Wang and Balenciaga, are better attuned to the short attention spans of today’s internet users and last no more than 1.5 minutes, a length that could shrink further in seasons to come.
