A Model's First Major Show

Daria Werbowy - Marc Jacobs F/W 2003.04 NY (“In 2003, I changed; I was stronger and I was more sure of myself. I wanted to work again, above all to finance my art studies. I called IMG and returned to New York. Three days later, I did Marc Jacobs' fashion show and a week later I worked for Steven Meisel for Prada.” Daria - UK Vogue)

WOW @ this talk about life-changing decisions...

Gisele Bundchen's website says her first major show was Blumarine F/W 1995, but I have no picture.

& The show that made everyone wanna meet her was Alexander McQueen S/S 1998

Balenciaga SS98 (Ghesquiere's debut) was also one of Gisele's first shows in Paris, has anybody got pics?

 

[AlbertNoir]

S/S 98 was Ghesquiere's debut??!! Wow I thought he started during the early/mid 2000's..

Didn't Lyndsey walk some shows before getting the "semi" exclusive spot for Calvin Klein? Might not be a debut per se but she did get the exclusive who put her on the map.

In the exact words of Lyndsey’s agent:
“She did the two shows and Calvin people met her, and booked her and canceled every other show that she was booked for from that point on.”
So there you go. You might call it a mid week exclusive.

Elsa Sylvan
Givenchy S/S 2007

While I'm sure it wasn't as 'big' a show as it is today, and I'm not sure if this was her first show, Elsa did a Rodarte presentation back in S/S 06.

Juju Ivanyuk: Jaeger London F/W 08.09
Crazy considering F/W 11.12 is considered to be her 'debut' season by some, 3 years later. Don't know if it'd be considered a 'big' show, but she did Erdem that same season, so that would probably qualify.

Hilary Rhoda did Rodarde S/S 06 in NYC which would've been before her Balenciaga appearance that same season, no?

Siri Tollerod - first: Prada Resort 2008
first rtw show: Rag & Bone S/S 2008 NY ? (wasn't F/W 2007 her debut season?)

style.com

Yes, F/W 2007 was her debut season. I would consider Emporio Armani her first major show. She also walked Ab/Soul and Banana Republic that season.

I think she actually was in a show before Rodarte.. but regardless that show & Rodarte were not major shows. Back then there was not that much buzz around the show and the casting generally reflected that. Her first major show was Balenciaga
