Social-media has become an important medium for brands and models. Brands use social-media networks such as Twitter, Instagram and Facebook to engage their customers. Marc Jacobs brought this to a new level by opening a pop-up shop during Fashion Week, which is very common. However, at the Daisy Marc Jacobs Tweet Shop you can pay with a Tweet or an Instagram or Facebookpost, which costs nothing for costumers but however it's a marketing success for Marc Jacobs!
And now social-media has become also a platform for models to take you behind-the-scenes and let you take a look at a model's life. It seems that your ''online social status'' could book you jobs, ''people look to book models for jobs that have a lot of followers on their social media for business-sales'' Jamie Bochert said in a video of W Magazine's exclusive series about models and social media. Karlie Kloss says that sometimes she feels obligated to update consistently, ''it's almost like homework''. I'm actually glad that models take the opportunity to use social-media, it gives them a face and a platform. They take you behind-the-scenes to see places you might never witness yourself.

W Mag also did a spread called "The Perfect Ten" with ten of these supermodels and social-media stars. Doutzen Kroes, Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Candice Swanepoel, Edita Vilkeviciute, Jourdan Dunn, Lais Ribeiro, Karlie Kloss and Isabeli Fontana were all shot by Mario Sorrenti and styled by Mr. Edward Enninful himself!

W Magazine has also listed a trivia about the models on their website. The basics/vital (age, height, measurements), Social-media stats and even the numbers the models walked The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show are listed. Click here for the list.
