New faces in the Global 100
Two of the fastest-rising names on the current Index — and the bookings that got them there.
By The Cast Index Desk · Editorial
Alex Consani sits at #3 on the current Index, carried by a genuinely dense season: Chanel, Alexander McQueen and Jean Paul Gaultier in Paris in March 2026, plus Gucci and Chanel campaign and resort credits. She was also named Model of the Year at the 2024 Fashion Awards, a signal the methodology weights but decays over time — it is the current-season work, not the 2024 win, that is driving this year’s score.
Mona Tougaard enters at #7 off a Models.com Model of the Year nomination and a Best Street Style industry win in 2025. Her evidence file carries a medium-confidence label rather than high — the underlying bookings are real and sourced, but the Cast Index desk has not yet completed the same depth of cross-referencing applied to the top few names.
That confidence label is deliberate. Every profile on the Index publishes where it sits on the high / medium / baseline scale, and readers can see exactly why.
