Model Packages Fall 2012

The frenzy of Spring 2013 Fashion Week has barely just begun, but for models, bookers, and casting agents, the flurry of the season has been going strong for weeks.

Nowhere is there more evidence of that than in the season's show packages. Those glorious sets of model cards that each agency meticulously selects and designs — often with the help of a talented artist or graphic illustrator — to showcase who among their roster of girls will be available to walk the shows. The packages go out weeks before the presentations start, and not only do they serve as a way to introduce new models, they also set the tone for the whole season.

So which among them are our favorites for Spring 2013? Well, there's the quirky take on patriotism from One Model Management, the brightly hued, bloom-filled offering from Trump, and a whimsically drawn selection from IMG — complete with video featuring the contributing artist, Danny Roberts — for starters.

A peek at all those — plus the packs from Marilyn, Fusion, and more — here in the slideshow.

Talk about a major shift: Karlie Kloss has signed on with IMG Models after four years of being represented by Next Model Management.

Kloss has not yet commented on the switch, but it will undoubtedly push her to the next level of her already stellar career. She will reportedly now share a manager with the world's highest-earning supermodel, Gisele Bundchen. IMG's women's board also includes Kate Moss, Liya Kebede, Lara Stone, Miranda Kerr, Sasha Pivovarova, and several other highly visible models.

"Karlie has an immense and loyal following, and we welcome the opportunity to help expand her relationships through endorsements as well as our global network that reaches beyond fashion," said Ivan Bart, IMG Models' senior vice president and managing director.

The 20-year-old model has already begun to widen her impact outside of the industry. On Fashion's Night Out, she'll introduce a line of cookies called The Perfect 10 at the DKNY store in New York's SoHo neighborhood. Proceeds from the cookies will provide school meals for hungry children across the globe.
