She's also walked the runways for numerous designers including Fendi, Chanel, Oscar de la Renta, Versace, Missoni, Roberto Cavalli, Michael Kors and Gucci.

Trunfio will offer a unique perspective to the contestants because she was the winner of the Australian TV series "Search for a Supermodel" and later came in third in the international version of the show.

Malandrino began her career in France before moving to America. Her design was featured prominently in at least one episode of " Sex and the City," and her celebrity clientele includes Madonna, Beyonce, Sarah Jessica Parker, Halle Berry, Julia Roberts, and Nicole Kidman.

Shimizu, 41, was famously discovered by Kelly and Calvin Klein when she drove by them on her Triumph motorcycle. She's walked the runway for Prada, Versace, Donna Karan and Jean Paul Gaultier. She's appeared on "America's Next Top Model" and "Dante's Cove," and has also been open about being gay, protesting America's laws against gay marriage by "marrying" reality TV Star Rebecca Loos for the TV program "Power Lesbian UK."

Perou is a renowned celebrity photographer who has shot numerous international fashion magazine covers. His subject have included David Beckham, The Spice Girls, Blondie, Jay-Z and U2. He's also directed music videos for Marilyn Manson and KT Tunstall.

As an international model scout, Marlon has managed the careers of numerous models, including Marisa Miller and Anouck Lepere. He's also worked as a photographer, shooting the likes of The Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Rolling Stones and Eric Clapton.

A premiere date for the new season has yet to be announced.
