Next Top Model, Cycle 2 is the second cycle of Next Top Model. It premiered on September 15, 2011; only half a year after the first season. The competition was again hosted by Romanian fashion designer Cătălin Botezatu. He was joined at the panel once again by make-up artist Mirela Vascan, hair stylist Laurent Tourette and model agent Liviu Ionescu. Photographer Gabriel Hennessey, who infamously shot most of the pictures from Cycle 1, did not return this time. The winner of the competition, was 14 year old Laura Giurcanu from Bucharest, Romania
