Anna Ewers beats Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner to become the model of the year

While Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner ruled the modelling scene and made it to headlines with ease in 2015, it is Anna Ewers who has been crowned as the model of the year by Models.com. The award honours fashion figures across multiple categories and the winners are elected through two separate polls — one among readers and one among industry types.

While the 22-year-old German fashion model leads the list of Model of the Year for 2015 compiled by industry leaders, Gigi Hadid follows closely on the second spot. The 20-year-old American model, however, walked away with the top spot in the category voted by the readers. Kendall Jenner came runner up behind Hadid in the public poll.

Ewers has fronted campaigns for Chanel, Alexander Wang as well as H&M and was also featured on the 2015 Pirelli Calendar. She also fronted the covers of various editions of leading fashion magazines in 2015.
