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.
