It is often in Milan that we see the industry’s top faces reappear on the runway, reminding the fashion industry who’s really the cream of the crop. Here, the top catwalkers become much clearer and certain models end up dominating all the top runways. And oftentimes we find some new faces that demonstrate that they soon will be challenging those top girls. Before we shift focus to the last fashion week of the month, we first take a look at the models who walked the most shows in Milan.
