Live Streaming... The F/W 2025.26 Fashion Shows
IF you're not yet familiar with the name Bette Franke, then you soon will be. The 22-year-old - who has just been announced as the face of See by Chloé's new fragrance - was one of the most prominent models during the spring/summer 2013 show season, jetting between New York, Milan and Paris and popping up on more catwalks than we could hope to keep track of.
From opening at J. Mendel and Gianfranco Ferré, to closing the show in particularly dramatic fashion at DSquared2, to say the season was a busy one for the Dutch-born model would be an understatement of the highest order. The model walked for some of the biggest names on the schedule, including Alexander McQueen, Dolce & Gabbana and Calvin Klein.
Versatile and striking, Franke is as popular with the backstage make-up artists as she is with the casting agents - showcasing sleek hair and long lashes at Gucci, barely-there beauty at Alexander Wang and those magical bejewelled eyes at Christian Dior.
Discovered at the age of 14 in Amsterdam while out shopping with her mother, the model's first major modelling job came courtesy of a 2005 Stella McCartney presentation in London, shortly followed by her first catwalk season - which saw her walk in just four spring/summer 2006 shows. Fast forward six years and Franke is appearing in four shows a day.
