Raf Simons, 2012–present
Youth and purity are uniting factors for the models on Simons’s catwalk. While frequently utilizing austere favorites like Kinga Rajzak and Daria Strokous, Simons fills the majority of his lineup with pristine new faces. The designer is so adept at selecting models that he occasionally spots them himself: Spring 2016 opener Sofia Mechetner was discovered by Simons while shopping at Dior’s Avenue Montaigne boutique.
