Calling Collison!

Meghan Collison, the Canadian native who is signed with Mode in Canada and Supreme in NYC was one of the many breakout stars of the FW07 runway season. Although her showlist wasn't as expansive as some of the other new faces, she did walk exclusively for Prada in Milan, and her editorial and campaign bookings are not to be beat! A favorite of legendary photographer Steven Meisel, she shot 2 Vogue Italia covers in a row with him (October & November), as well as the Prada Resort campaign. She's also appeared recently in Pop, Vogue UK, Vogue Nippon, and Dazed & Confused, and the D&G Resort campaign by Mario Testino. Look for Meghan in the SS08 ad campaigns for Prada, Belstaff, and Pringle of Scotland (all shot by Meisel!).
