What Vogue Is Looking for in the Next ‘It’ Model

What makes a modern-day supermodel? According to Ignacio “Iggy” Murillo, Vogue’s global talent casting director, it’s all about personality. As Vogue launches its worldwide search for the next top model, two members of the esteemed selection committee, Iggy and José Criales Unzueta—Vogue’s fashion and news editor—stop by The Run-Through to share what they’re looking for… and why the internet is the best place to find it.

They also dive into how the modeling industry has evolved in recent years and why size diversity is so rare on runways these days. Plus, the duo break down some of fashion’s most iconic modeling moments—from Gisele Bündchen’s broken-heel strut (Givenchy, spring 2000) to Shalom Harlow’s unforgettable spray-painted dress (Alexander McQueen, spring 1999).

But first, Chloe and Chioma talk about the end of And Just Like That…, the impact of the Sex and the City franchise on their lives, the new show that has everyone in the office buzzing (Netflix’s The Hunting Wives, of course), and…whether or not it’s appropriate to bring your Birkin bag to the beach. (Short answer: yes!)
