Ranked #1 around 1998, 2000-1(?)

Angela Lindvall was the first model to ever be ranked #1 on MDC in 1998. However, at some point Angela was bumped down to the #2 spot by Gisele Bundchen. After Gisele "graduated" to the icons list, Angela regained her #1 spot until she was also moved to the icons list.

Angela is currently ranked #15 on the MDC Top Icons list

Gisele Bundchen is currently ranked #1 on the MDC Top Icons list. She is also the highest paid model in the world.

Ranked #1 around 2001-2003(?)

Karolina Kurkova took over the #1 spot after Gisele was moved to the icons list. After "graduating" from the #1 spot, she was also moved to the icons list, but she was dropped from it around the time she became a Victoria's Secret Angel. No longer with Victoria's Secret, Karolina still gets her share of editorials, covers and campaigns. She undoubtably is still an icon and arguably qualifies to still be part of the Top Icons list. Perhaps she will once again be added to the Top Icons list.

Ranked #1 around 2003-2005(?)

The next model to receive the Top Model ranking was, Ethiopian model, Liya Kebede. One of Liya's greatest accomplishments was receiving a solo cover of Vogue US in 2005. I am unsure of whether Liya still had the #1 Top Model spot or had already been moved to the icons list when this happened.

Liya is currently ranked #14 on the MDC Top Icons list

Daria is currently ranked #3 on the MDC Top Icons list.

Ranked Ranked #1 around 2006-7

Gemma Ward quickly became popular when she started modeling in 2004 and it was no surprise that she would eventually become the #1 top model.

In late 2007 when Gemma was replaced by Raquel Zimmermann as the #1 Top Model, MDC intended to move Gemma to the Top Icons list. However, in early 2008, Gemma chose to quit modeling and pursue an acting career (her true passion).

Us Gemma fans are still hoping that maybe one day she will return to modeling and make an amazing comeback.
