London Fashion Week: Hot Off the Runway
Fresh off the runway, W has an early sneak peek at the best collections from London Fashion Week, from Burberry and Alexander McQueen to J.W. Anderson and Simone Rocha. Twenty year old model Celine Delaugere, herself a fresh face on the scene, leaped off Christopher Kane's set just to take the brand-new fall looks out for a spin.

Meet Celine Delaugere, Christopher Kane's Latest Brainiac Model

For many young models, fashion month takes the place of a typical college spring break. Instead of Bud Light cans and wet t-shirt contests, there’s Moet and Miu Miu-sponsored parties. Instead of a walk of shame, there’s the walk down a runway.
For 21-year-old Celine Delaugere, it’s not much of a break at all—she takes her newfound work as a model as seriously as she approaches studying math at Paris-Dauphine University. “Of course, I love the experience of wearing amazing clothes – but that’s not all that modeling is about,” she said, shortly after London Fashion Week wrapped.
For the past few years, Delaugere has been obsessed with the Japanese conceptual artist Yayoi Kusama and her concept of self-obliteration. “When I’m modeling, I can feel the self-obliteration: I have to become part of the concept of the photography or the show and in a way, forget myself,” Delaugere said. “I love how Kusama describes this process: ‘Become part of your environment. Take off your clothes. Forget yourself.’”
Delaugere’s chameleon-like quality served her well at Christopher Kane’s fall show in London, where she made her runway debut. “I wouldn’t say I was nervous, but my mind and heart was definitely racing with excitement,” she recalled. “In my eyes, the collection expressed the nature and beauty of feminine strength.” She is the latest of Kane’s brainy models – the designer cast in his spring campaign Alice Buckingham, who initially wanted to study neuroscience.
Growing up in Paris as the daughter of an Apostolic Pastor, modeling wasn’t exactly at the forefront of Delaugere’s plans. “Having to go to church services several times a week until I was a teenager definitely turned me into a bit of a rule breaker as I got older,” she said. “After years of being told I should get into modeling, I didn’t feel like I was ready – but when I was 21 I decided to contact IMG Models and was signed to them worldwide on the spot.”
Delaugere plans to continue her inaugural fashion month in Paris, but afterwards, it’s back to the library for Delaugere—not that she’s disappointed to be returning to her studies. “Math is a beautiful human vision of a perfect logic. It is a world apart and it has been building our world for centuries and it will continue building it,” she said. “I like that I’m one of the only model mathematicians out there too!”
Beauty Secrets of French Model Celine Delaugere
Twenty one years old and already a runway star, the model on how to channel her natural Parisian beauty. By Ally Betker
Days after London Fashion Week wrapped, Celine Delaugere, the brainy model who made her runway debut at Christopher Kane, took the best looks from the British collections for a spin. Envious of her cropped hair, smooth skin and full eyebrows, we asked the 21-year-old French newbie to share her beauty secrets. The natural beauty had three words of advice: sleep, water and sun.
Describe your beauty look in three words:
Natural, easy and simple.
Five-minute face routine:
A light moisturizer, lip balm and concealer on any dark circles from late nights and early wake up calls.
Never leave the house without:
Taking my morning shower (which is also my way to wake up!)
Exercise regime:
You’ll find me running around whatever city I find myself in for work.
Nutritional lifesaver:
Cooking lots of easy vegetable-packed Asian stir-fry’s with rice. It’s really quick and simple to make when I’m busy with work and studying – being healthy and delicious is a plus!
Beauty essentials:
Sleep, lots of water and sun. (The latter isn’t always easy to get in Parisian winter!)
Skincare secret:
Vitamin E oil.
Fashion month survival trick:
As much sleep as possible!
Hair remedy:
Argan oil hair masks.
Fragrance of choice:
1996 – which is the fragrance Inez & Vinoodh made for Byredo. I feel like it blends in perfectly with my own personal scent.
Between-show snack of choice:
Any strawberry-flavoured candies for a quick sugar rush.
Best advice from mom:
To always wash my face with cold water.
Best advice from the makeup artists backstage:
To use Crealine H2O micellar water solution to remove makeup. But I’m Parisian! I’ve already got this all down!
Beauty icon:
Grace Jones.
Beauty motto:
Be authentic.
