There are models who enjoyed the year in spotlight but who made in the top list.

Still regarded as the highest earning and most powerful supermodel (she earned over $45 million last year) Gisele enjoyed cover appearances on 13 glossy covers this year. And the work keeps pouring in: Versace, Givenchy and Salvatore Ferragamo have all picked her to front their spring/summer 2012 campaigns.
Arguably the sexiest model of the year, Victoria's Secret model Rosie started 2011 as Maxim's 'Hottest Woman of the Year'. Cover appearances on Vogue, GQ and Harper's Bazaar sat nicely along the Devon-born model's new Burberry Body perfume campaign. A role as the face of Marks & Spencer's Autograph range also proved to be a patriotic move for the LA-based 24-year-old.
While that other Kate's wedding was the subject of global fascination, those on Planet Fashion couldn't wait to see what Miss Moss would wear down aisle. 2011 will always be the year that Kate Moss got married in THAT Galliano dress - oh and she still found time to pose for Paris Vogue, Rimmel, Fred, Longchamp, Vogue Eyewear and YSL perfume.
There was no escaping Arizona Muse's bushy brows and heart-shaped face this year, be it from a billboard modelling for high street giant Next, or a Louis Vuitton ad campaign. The mother-of-one, who hails from New Mexico, has fast become the fashion editor's model of choice, clocking up editorials in the American, Russian, Australian and French editions of Vogue.
One of the breakout new faces of the year, Dutch Daphne walked 48 runway shows for spring/summer 2012 alone. She has also covered V magazine and Love Magazine and was picked to star in the Versace for H&M campaign.
