They may not be as famous as other names, but when it comes to the fashion industry, these five catwalk queens rule the roost!
Gisele Bundchen, Kate Moss, and Claudia Schiffer may be well known, but their names do not figure anywhere on the list of the world's top five most in-demand models by industry standards!
The list features rather less familiar names -- take a look!
Anja Rubik
A survey by Fashion Spot showed Polish model Rubik was the most in-demand girl between April 2010 and April this year.

Constance Jablonski

Despite being the most in-demand, Rubik's workload seems small compared to French femme fatale Constance Jablonski, 20.
