Veteran model Carmen Kass is a pro. There’s no denying the cool Aviator glamour of her Michael Kors ads, and when there’s a need for the bronzed St. Tropez riche girl , the leggy Estonian model has the cool blonde down pat. Top it off, she ran for European Parliament in 2004 and apparently is a serious chess player who was elected president of the Estonian National Chess League. How’s that for model citizen? From runway to ad campaigns, the girl knows how to trabajar. Check out her latest editorial spread for December’s Japanese Vogue.

Then there are the newbies. V Magazine and Supreme model management has announced their finalists for their annual model search.  I’m partial to the Brazilians and the Dutch girl, but then it might be their accents. Check out their screen tests on Supreme’s blog.
