Model Casting F/W 2026.27

[newfashiongeek]

So stoked for this season. Hope I’m not making this too early.

What are you all looking out for this season? Models to watch?

 

[bluesteel45]

i'm looking forward to see last season's top newcomers and who continues their breakout(s).

very excited about: Audrey Lees, Fatou Kebbeh and Saar Mansvelt Beck. love all three. think they each have followed up last season with some great editorial. super promising.

also, Ana Beatriz Cortes. i think she's got it. hoping she's next up.

curious about: Coco Palmer. can't tell if SS 26 was just right place right time or if she's got staying power? doesn't seem to be a PG girl or one of Ashley's...

I'm interested in seeing whether Claire Marie shows up at any shows. Was nowhere last season after being on several blue chip runways the season before. Also, will embrace of Bhavitha Mandava by Chanel translate to her being everywhere this season? Will opening Cala Moragas opening the maligned Versace show work against her or catapult her to the top runways? And of course, which model will come out of "retirement" to walk for select shows?

I’m liking jacqui hooper. I didn’t really take notice to her until recently. Excited to see her establish herself further

This is my main question too! Will Clare Marie finally walk? This and will Sascha make a comeback?

Valery Sergeeva, was last season a fluke or will she follow the Anasofia route and not book as many big shows.

Most excited to see:
Faith Johnson, Yun Seo Woo, Dalene Webber, Avishag Amir and will Lauren Huyskens continue on her upward trajectory.

Interesting point on Coco. Think she's still an underdog/going under the radar. Even with some pretty big shows on the res. Can you ascend to the top tiers without the backing of PG or Ashley? Maybe one of them will retroactively stake their claim during her sophomore season?

Most exciting about Charlotte Boggia, Charlie Jones, Ella Dalton to continue doing great
And can't wait to see what this season will bring to the promising new faces Jospehen Akuei, Avishag Amir, Yun Seo Woo, Frauke Nijs and Laura Kaiser!

 

[Roonersss]

From newbies I am most excited to see Charlie Jones, Frauke Nijs, Laura Kaiser, and Bhavita Mandava, but I am scared that Bhavita might be too Chanel coded now after the hype she got, she might not be taken by other designers because of that.
I hope Athiec will do well again, I know she isn’t very new but I hope she will have another great season

From established I wonder which models will do a full season again. It seems like a new generation is taking over during the men’s shows and couture so far.

 

[chiccestlavie]

Bitton casting at Chanel again. But for the obvious stars (Awar, Mona, Penelope, Sara) it feels so Louis Vuitton/Jonathan Anderson and not very Chanel.

 

[marsnoop2]

Noemie Lenoir at Chanel was my favorite surprise!

 

[nikkuman]

Wondering if Cara Taylor will make a comeback — she's in Ford's showpack and has been doing a lot of work with Zara. Would love to see her again on the runway.

 

[kitsune21]

It’s been great to see Laura Ponte and Noémie Lenoir at Chanel, and Nieves Álvarez opening Stéphane Rolland. I’m particularly intrigued by how Laura Ponte has managed to return to major runways after so many years away and without being a high-profile public figure. As for additional comebacks, I’d love to see Angela Lindvall, Fernanda Tavares, or Eugenia Volodina walking for top fashion houses again.

NYFW starts tomorrow with Marc Jacobs so I am very curious if Sascha will walk!
I believe she is in NYC, Sandra Murray posted a picture with her, so I hope this means she is back!!

Vlada @ RL again. Pleasure to see her walk.

I hate Gigi, can she just retire? Makes me dislike Moncler and Ralph Lauren
