For the next couple passion blogs, I will be profiling several rising stars in the high fashion modeling world. For this post, I will be talking about Daphne Groeneveld, in my next I will talk about Lindsey Wixson, and then about Cara Delevingne. They’re all starting to reach almost iconic status for one reason or another, be it their individually unique looks, their silly personalities, or their incredible modeling abilities.
Daphne Groeneveld, at just 18 years old, was discovered at the incredibly young age of 14 while shopping at her local mall in The Netherlands. She is most commonly recognized by her wide-set eyes and very full lips. At 5’11”, she towers above many other models, many of whom average 5’9″-5’10”.
Her first runway season was in 2010 in Milan, and since then has walked hundreds of shows. She has graced the catwalks of designers such as Dior, Marc Jacobs, Louis Vuitton, Etro, Versace, Gucci, and Chanel. In addition, she was the face of H&M for the F/W season of 2012, along with appearing in dozens of ads for beauty products of famous design houses.
She is currently ranked #9 on the list of Top 50 Models by Models.com. Since she’s only been on the scene for only a few years now, yet she has taken the modeling and fashion world by storm. I expect that we will be seeing a lot more of her in the upcoming years!
