Model Casting F/W 2025.26

[Armani]

Did Sandra Murray skip NYFW or did she just not get cast in any shows? I thought after last season she would be in a handful of shows.

Sandra also skipped, along with Karyna, Chen, Ama, Francesca, Yuliana, Jewel, Esther, Ivy, Olga, Melinda, Ryleabeth, Marta, Stef, and Vika out of last season’s new faces (and that’s only counting the ones who did multiple large shows).

Ryleabeth is in NYC so did she skip or not booked?

Esther has been in London per Insta. She gives me b list bookings.

^Shocking that she wouldn’t book anything.

There have been so many one season wonders.
Remember Ava Christian? Though I think she quit on her own.

Some models who skipped NYFW:

Aker Ajak
Alix Bouthors (don’t believe has ever done NY due to European placements)
Anok Yai
Bibi Breslin
Canlan Wang
Ella McCutcheon
He Cong
Jadi Wegener
Laiza de Moura
Leanne de Haan
Mia Armstrong
Mika Schneider
Nora Attal
Nyajuok G
Saunders
Sun Mizrahi
Vittoria Ceretti
Yilan Hua

What about Leyla Etengan and Sheila Bawar (probably my new fave)? They also didn't do NY last season and started in Milan, but despite being PGDM "discoveries" if you will and having a strong start in print they didn't really set fashion week alight last season like I'd hoped and therefore I'm worried that they've already slowed down this season... let's see.

Sandra Murray is clearly being pushed as DM's next Angelina/Bibi and I have no doubt the decision was made to let her take off in Europe this time around.

Yeah Sandra is clearly a star in the making. I wish PG gave as much attention to Viktoria Wirs. I think she has a better look. Again I think she has that ethereal elvish look haha

What about Linna Shi who debuted at Khaite? I wonder she will do, it anything, come Europe. She has a nice look.
