She was slowing down and I was worried because she was looking a little run down as well. This season she's on fire though and looking amazing, so happy for her opening and closing spots at Tom Ford AND Versace. Her walk at Versace was one of the best of the show.

She's one of the biggest stars of the season. Binx is shaping up to become one of the definitive models of the 2010s now with this fashion week in addition to the multiple blue chip campaigns for fall/winter solidifying that status. She's not going to fade as this is one of her best seasons after several years of working in high fashion.

Yas! I feel like Binx is going to be with us 30 years from now, like Pat Cleveland. She is bringing back what it means to be legendary.

Vogue.com 10/31/2017: Binx Walton Says Real Supermodels Don’t Need Instagram
OCTOBER 31, 2017 1:29 PM
by JANELLE OKWODU
Binx Walton is ready for what’s next. Taking a breather after the Spring 2018 shows, she says fashion’s current notion of “21st-century cool” has “become a bit stagnant.” As one of the models frequently called upon to embody youthful insouciance, she’s the poster child for brands who don’t need to shout their relevance: Tom Ford, Céline, Saint Laurent, Alexander Wang, among others. Walton has worked to become one of the most recognizable faces in the world, but she’s doing it her way. “I’m just hoping that, through my journey, others will see and understand that there are many ways to play the game.”
The rise of social media influencers and celebrity children has paved the way for a generation of models better known for their Instagram feeds than their editorial work. Though one would be hard-pressed to deny the impact of figures like Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner, being SEO-friendly is not the only route to modeling stardom. “I’m just hoping through my journey others will see that not everyone has a famous mommy or daddy and 1 million followers,” Walton says. “Not everyone comes from middle-class families. That, for especially ones growing up in inner cities or poverty-stricken areas, where there is a will there is a way.” Walton believes that in fashion, “There is a place for each and every single one of you if you have the will and the drive to make an idea or dream real.”
Born Leona Anastasia Walton, she spent her childhood between the Hawaiian island of Kauai and Knoxville, Tennessee. She earned the nickname Binx from her brothers after they saw Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. Walton’s early years were far removed from the runways. Still, Walton’s beauty was evident from an early age. Lanky with large brown eyes and a distinctive gap-toothed smile, by age 9 she had already captured the attention of scouts. Spotted while swimming at a local pool, Walton wasn’t impressed by the idea of modeling. Preferring to practice skateboarding and enjoy school, she held on to her local agency’s business card for three years before finally deciding to give it a try. “To be completely honest, I just did it to earn a couple extra bucks,” says Walton, who thought modeling might be a good after-school job. “It’s been a pleasure and an eye-opening experience watching the evolution of the relationships I acquired over the past five years with clients, fellow models, and of course my own growth through this sometimes questionable industry.”
Walton approaches her work with a degree of seriousness that belies her chill demeanor. Her commitment to this shows in the length of the relationships she’s formed. Several of the brands she walked during her debut season—Versace and Marc Jacobs among them—are still frequent collaborators. “No matter in what industry or situation, you can’t force a connection,” says Walton. “Each and every person I work with on a consistent basis within the industry has a place in my heart.”
While many embrace the collaborative process of modeling, Walton aims to go one step further. “I would like it to get weirder, and [the] freaks to start embracing themselves and creating more,” says Walton, who hopes the business begins to embrace its artistic side again after seasons of playing it safe. Transforming into a living sculpture for Mario Sorrenti, getting sheathed in latex for Fabien Baron, or posing on her porch alongside her family for Zoe Ghertner in the pages of Vogue, Walton has proved that she’s game for anything. But a model’s willingness to adapt isn’t enough—fashion itself has to be open to changes. “I just want to see people with creative and new ideas thrive within the industry. We have a sort of prestige, power, and influence on society, and it would be nice to use it to push the envelope and explore new ideas of what’s current, hip, or groovy.”
Creating that kind of impact isn’t easy—especially for models of color. For Walton, who quickly noticed the discrepancies in the way black and white models are treated, dealing with fashion’s retrograde ideas has been an uphill battle. “When I started doing shows, I was 16 and I was one of probably five or six black women starting out,” she says. “We still got canceled from shows because they didn’t want any ‘ethnic women.’ I just wish that someone was there for me to tell me, enlighten me, empower me to not be silenced. To know the line between making your money and making a difference.”
Today Walton is encouraged by the success of her friends—models of color like Selena Forrest, Hiandra Martinez, Karly Loyce, Aiden Curtiss, Paloma Elsesser, and Riley Montana. She is eager to see fashion embrace a definition of beauty that goes beyond blonde hair and blue eyes. “Luckily, times have changed, with more and more people catching on to this profound beauty [that isn’t] derived from the girl next door,” says Walton.
While ascending to “supermodel” status in just five years is impressive, Walton resists that label, which she thinks has lost its power in the social media age. “It’s been incredibly overused and doesn’t really hold the same sort of prestige as it used to,” says Walton. “Now it’s a term mostly aligned with Instagram models. For instance, in my opinion, Julia Nobis would be a super [model] but probably 80 percent of readers wouldn’t know who that is because she is not on Instagram.” But Walton believes that press-shy stars like Nobis can retain their relative anonymity without losing any respect from insiders. “If you are a true follower of fashion, you would know she has walked every show and done every campaign for years and still is the most educated, sincere, humble being around. In my eyes that’s what makes her super.”
Supermodel or not, Walton is making a big impression. As an offbeat star who prioritizes staying true to herself over generating likes and clicks, she’s managed to hold fashion’s attention through sheer force of personality, a feat she hopes that more of her peers will attempt. “Don’t hide the things that make you who you are. Embrace them. Do what you need to do to be the voice of the silenced,” she says. “Don’t fall in line to a master, forever unimpressed by anything that’s not glitz and glamour, and be honest with yourself. Ask yourself, ‘What can I create that has a message, that isn’t just more crap?’ ”
