Lila Moss follows her mother's footsteps and competes with Naomi Campbell for the title of 'Model of the Year'
As the years go by, the fashion industry undergoes necessary changes that open the doors to new stages in terms of trends, brands and luxury ambassadors. The latter take over from the veterans with their other fresh and diverse faces, defining what it means to be a 'gen Z model.' And we are not referring to the Jenner or Hadid sisters but, rather, to the direct heirs of the legendary tops of the golden age of modeling. The great revelation of this year has been Lila Grace Moss, who overnight -and barely reaching the age of majority- invaded the most eagerly awaited fashion catalogs and shows without prior notice, a professional milestone that has placed her in the official list of best models of 2021. The question is: Will it win the big award?

Will she be crowned '2021 Model of the Year'?
Lila Grace debuted in 2018 as the face of Marc Jacobs Beauty, a golden opportunity that also led her to start on the catwalks at the Miu Miu Sports Club fashion show in October 2020. Just over a year has passed since then Definitive and the heiress of Kate Moss has put her skills into practice in the presentations of the British Richard Quinn, Fendi and Fendace, the recent creative union between this Italian house and Versace, sharing the stage with her mother on more than one occasion. In recognition of her short but remarkable career, the renowned platform Models.com has included her in its select list of nominees for the Model of the Year award. We will have to wait, however, until next week to find out the result, when 250 of the best stylists, designers, photographers, editors and casting directors in the industry vote to choose the winner.

Kate Moss' legacy, her greatest support
More than mothers, Lila Grace and Kate seem like two peas in a pod, best friends and allies in the modeling industry. Under the umbrella of the agency founded by the iconic supermodel, the 19-year-old has managed to star in the most anticipated fashion shows of the season, as well as a series of viral campaigns and covers of international magazines. Despite her limited height by traditional modeling standards (she is barely 1.65m tall), she has shown that talent runs through her veins and has earned a well-deserved position among the queens of the catwalks to the point of sharing this important achievement with Irina. Shayk, Bella Hadid or Kendall Jenner, all nominated in previous years.

Compete with veterans and friends: Naomi Campbell and Kaia Gerber
The ties between the contenders for this coveted title are growing. The names of Paloma Elesser and Sora Choi stand out, both winners in 2020 as Industry Vote and Public Vote respectively, who could win the award again, although we also find both veteran and contemporary weight figures. The eternal companion of Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, is the model with the longest experience on the list of nominees and among the youngest along with Lila Grace, Kaia Gerber, daughter and spitting image of another legendary top of the 90's, Cindy Crawford.
