Forum members love their models, and if there’s anything they love more than a new face, it’s a familiar one. In this list there are girls who walked the most Spring 2013 shows, but there are also those who walked the most quality shows, and those who Fashion Spot forum members were most excited to see and comment about. We’ll be counting down by the number of shows walked, but the numbers are just an excuse for some sense of order. All of these models shined brightly in their own way this season.

She is a true muse.”
