Supermodel, Sports Illustrated cover girl, and tsunami survivor, Petra Nemcova brings six young women to New York City. All have the potential to become supermodels, but only one of them will be awarded a contract with one of the world's largest modeling agencies.
Over the course of five frenetic weeks in Manhattan, the six girls - two from the USA, one Australian, a Czech, a Brit, and a Brazilian - will learn everything there is to know about modeling and we will come to know everything about them: their hopes, dreams and expectations.
Petra will mentor and coach her six hopefuls, preparing them for the brutally hard world that is the life of the top model. The girls must progress physically and emotionally, they must prove themselves to be mature enough to handle the pressures and temptations that will undoubtedly come their way. It's anxious, it's pressured, and every week there's a photo shoot to test the girls' progress.
At the end of a month's preparation comes New York Fashion Week and a final evaluation by a top panel of experts from Next Magazine. Which of the six girls has got what it takes to be awarded a modeling contract with Next and have their dreams turned into reality?
Petra challenges the girls to photograph each other and get a feeling for being on the other side of the lens. Multiple casting and fitting appointments keep all six on their toes, then they meet up with Petra for some unexpected fun before shooting with legendary photographer Gilles Bensimon.
At Bryant Park, where Fashion Week is to take place, Petra reminds the girls to focus and work hard because Fashion Week is a big deal and a great opportunity for them to put their face in front of designers, photographers, clients, etc. Photogs can't get enough of Petra at the Nicole Miller show. The nervous Michelle walks the runway for the first time while Petra looks on. Angelika and Abi take the stage at the Chris Cabana fashion show. NEXT sets Valeria and Angelika up with a walking instructor to prepare them for the Jenni Kayne show. Petra and NEXT have a sit down to do a review of the models' performance on and off camera to decide who has a future with NEXT.
In the season finale, Joel, Co-owner of NEXT and Petra call the models into the office to discuss their future with NEXT. A select few are sent to the Bahamas for a final photo shoot. Upon their return, Joel and Petra review their final shoot and decide who, if any, will get a contract with NEXT.
