Hrvatski Top Model Season 1 was the first Season of a reality documentary based on Tyra Banks' America's Next Top Model which pits contestants against each other in a variety of competitions to determine who will win title of the new Croatian Top Model as well as a modelling contract with an agency in hopes of a promising career start in the modeling industry.
The season was aired from April to June 2008 and hosted by Tatjana Jurić and featured sixteen contestants (originally fifteen with one being replaced by a semifinalist after she quit). Croatian Fashion Designer Marco Grubnic also had several appearances on the first Season to introduce the girls to the fashion industry and give them constructive criticism.
The winner will receive a 1-year contract with Major Model Management in Milan, a spread in the Croatian issue of Joy Magazine, a 5-day trip to New York City sponsored by Maybelline and a 2-week English course in London.
After thirteen weeks, Sabina Behlić was named the winner of the first Season beating Valentina Dropulić and Marina Jerković in the final. In 2010 the show was also shown in Slovenia on TV3 under the name Hrvaški Top Model.
