How do we measure the rankings of the world’s Top Models? By number of campaigns and editorials? By paycheck? By how gorgeous they are? What with disputes on brand and magazine prestige, and definitions of beauty, we’ll let the internet be the eye of the beholder. PeekScore measured the digital imprints of top models and determined who is has the biggest web presence, i.e. most written about, followed and searched. Some of these results may surprise you. Others, like the strong presence of Victoria’s Secret Angels, may not. See who reigns supreme, as voted on by every single one of us, without our knowledge. Who is number one? Heidi Klum? Kate Moss? Gisele Bündchen? Lara Stone?

“Christian Dior is the best way to transmit the values and culture of France,” proclaimed Bernard Arnault, chief of LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, on Tuesday night at the grand opening of a lavish Dior exhibition in Russia. I see someone’s trying to wipe clean the memory of a recent incident in which Dior might not have been the best representation of French ideals… Regardless, it was a stunning night of beautiful fashionites, plus many art buffs for their first time get an emotional taste of the artistry of Haute Couture.
