Bella Hadid has shown immense growth since her first walk down the runway, and 2022 has been another booked and busy year. In addition to owning Paris Fashion Week (with 11 shows in 9 days!), she’s starred in a stunning Swarovski campaign and covered the April issue of Vogue.

Since the ’90s, Naomi Campbell has dominated the runways, magazine covers, and campaigns. She’s one of the most recognizable models in the world, and even with her new step into motherhood, the supermodel’s reign hasn’t ceased. This year, Campbell closed the Hugo Boss show with Future, starred in the Fendace campaign and covered Vogue UK with her baby.

From a cameo in a Beyonce music video to her dynamic stint with iconic houses like Jean Paul Gaultier, Smalls’ career has been a joy to watch. His swagger turns heads and his look is one of the best in the business. This year, Smalls was the star of Anne Klein’s spring campaign and had some exciting moments on the red carpet.

Winnie Harlow stepped into her entrepreneurial bag this year with the launch of Cay Skin, the cruelty-free, vegan skincare line focused on sun protection. Harlow also voiced her during REVOLT x Michelle Obama: The Cross Generational Conversation. She sat down with former first lady Michelle Obama, Kelly Rowland, HER and Tina Knowles-Lawson to discuss Obama’s book. The Light We Carry: Overcoming in Uncertain Times.

This year, EmRata starred opposite Sydney Sweeney in the Miu Miu Fall 2022 campaign and posed as the face of Michael Kors x Ellesse Ski 2022. Outside of her modeling, Ratajkowski launched her High Low podcast with EmRata.

Since being discovered at Howard’s homecoming party in 2017, Yai has covered multiple international Vogue covers and became the second black model (after Naomi Campbell) to open a Prada show. Her well-deserved rise to the top of her continued this year with a Vogue UK cover in February and an editorial in December.

Precious Lee has been taking the industry by storm. A remarkable representation of a curvy body dominating a space that, for years, has kept curvy bodies out. This year, Lee covered Elle, Vogue Portugal, Porter and Stylist magazines.

This year marked the return of Ashley Graham after she gave birth to twins earlier in the year. The fierce mama toured the runway walking for Balmain, amFAR charity gala, Tommy Hilfiger and Boss.

Like Naomi, Iman is another veteran model who is still leading the industry. This year she covered Vogue UK and launched her fragrance Love Memoire, a tribute to her late husband David Bowie.
