When a model such as Raquel Zimmermann is voted the #1 supermodel in the world on models.com, it’s fair to say it’s a well deserved title. Like our beloved Gisele, she is a Brazilian beauty whose ‘regal’ poise amazes photographers, designers, and fashionistas alike.
You may not have heard of her, but believe it or not this 26 year old has been modeling since the age of 14. How did she earn her title you ask? Well, it could be attributed to her first major gig as covergirl for Italian Vogue in 2000, or maybe her campaigns with Hermes, Marc Jacobs, and Gucci. Without a doubt it’s her confidence on the runway, her sophisticated and professional demeanor, and most of all her timeless look that has designers on their hands and knees.
You can catch her in the latest issue of i-D magazine as they celebrate her postion at #1 and give her full praise. While on their site, enjoy an exclusive video of the shoot that took place in preperation for this issue.
Raquel Zimmermann has slipped under my radar until now, and is definietly a model I’ll be keeping tabs on.

She definitely has a classic sophisticated look. I am a fan of Gisele but it’s nice to see other models put into the spotlight.
