The show shared some similarities to the famous American TV series America's Next Top Model hosted by Tyra Banks, however, it was not made from the same format but from a new one created by former Finnish top model Marita Hakala. Instead of making the show only for the viewers as in America's Next Top Model, its aim was teaching shy Finnish girls how to make it in the big world of Fashion based on Hakala's own experiences as a model.

Season 1

The first season of the show aired in 2005 and garnered a total of 625 000 viewers, with Suvi Koponen being announced as the winner. Koponen won a contract with leading model agency Women in Milan, Paris and New York City. Koponen later established an incredible modeling career. She worked for numerous designers including Anna Sui, Vera Wang, Marc Jacobs, Donna Karan, Anne Klein, Blumarine, Miu Miu, BCBG Max Azria, Calvin Klein, Louis Vuitton, Nina Ricci and Prada. Koponen has also had an editorial in French Vogue shot by David Sims, and has appeared in the American edition of Vogue.[1][2][3]
