Next Top Model, Season 1 was the first season of Next Top Model. It premiered on October 12, 2009. The number of contestants was originally 17 with one semifinalist re-entering the competition after a contestant withdrew. Greek super model Vicky Kaya (Greek: Βίκυ Καγιά) assumed the role of Tyra Banks from the original series as the head of the search as well as a mentor for the contestants. The panel consisted of the former model Jenny Balatsinou, fashion designer Christoforos Kontentos and noted photographer Charis Christopoulos.
