Season 1 of Make Me a Supermodel , an American reality television series based on the British series of the same name, premiered on January 10, 2008, on the Bravo television network.

Casting director Jennifer Starr joined the season 1 cast along with Cory Bautista, director of New York Model Management, as judges. Tyson Beckford and Niki Taylor played as both judges and the hosts of the show.

A casting special aired prior to the season opener on January 2, 2008, featuring many models being photographed, critiqued on the runway, and sent away until only the final choices for the season remained.

The winner of the competition, chosen by the viewers, would receive: a fashion pictorial in GQ Magazine, a cash prize of $100,000, and a one-year contract with New York Model Management.

The winner of the competition was 21-year-old Holly Kiser from Coeburn, Virginia.
