Model Casting F/W 2026.27

[Roonersss]

Seems like Ashley got to Alaina Rae before Samuel did. Was sure she would be a Saint Laurent exclusive after her Marc Jacobs NY opening slot, but there she was closing Dior. Certainly one of the more impressive brand new faces this season for me.

Many girls were on both SL and Dior this season, definitely more than 10. So I guess she did not book SL.

I was excited to see Alaina close! Especially after missing Milano.

Ajus is skipping the season. I saw her posting about YSL and her mother agent commented, take all the time you need, miss you.

I am curious if Lauren Huyskens will show up.

I’m not sure why all these casting directors are having a boner for noor khan. i mean she’s fine i guess 🤷‍♀️

 

[Riseup]

Ok but these Saint Laurent debuts, maaajor, the opening girl Thalita and Yaina Cuevas, crazy stunning girls.

Nimota Daudu is also a stunner! She has the same captivating power in her eyes as her Nigerian sister, Mayowa Nicholas, when she first made her debut

Ajus <3 I hope she's taking good care of herself. She's had such an impressive run. I've worked with her, and she is such a sweet spirit and professional. She'll surely be welcomed back like nothing happened.

I’m wondering about the cast for the latest show by Mulier, probably a strong lineup.
Is Anok Yai in Paris? She skipped Fashion Week, but I assumed that was likely due to her health issues, and I wish her a speedy recovery.
Isabeli Fontana and Adriana Lima are in Paris, so that could be an option. Doutzen Kroes and Imaan Hammam as well?
I’m quite curious to see how he will close his chapter at Alaïa.

I cannot honestly say with certainty. What I do know is that some models reportedly had to choose between Alaïa and Tom Ford and were not permitted to walk for both.

 

[Simera]

Looks like most picked Alaïa.
Tom Ford wasn’t that stacked

 

[prylvi]

Gemma Ward walked for Alaia!

 

[Magic Spells]

Gemma Ward at Alaïa!

 

[alimmurray]

Alaia's cast was indeed STACKED!

Yes, indeed

 

[Toni Ahlgren]

Amélie Zalaiti opening AND closing Balmain. That is very rare these days.

 

[mikel]

Loved seeing Hilary Rhoda at Tom Ford and Gemma Ward at Alaia ❤️

 

[prylvi]

Also Matea Brakus at Alaia! Glad to see her back

 

[alimmurray]

Ashley cast Alaia correct?

 

[Simera]

Ashley cast Alaia correct?

She does!

Now I just want to know what’s up with Lauren? Every season one of my favorites vanishes 😂

 

[Fiercification]

I assumed there must have been a timing clash between TF and Alaia. Interesting that the former lacked a lot of the obvious star faces. I still liked the casting there though; as mikel says Hilary was a highlight. I know she's had a few cameos at shows in recent seasons but she fit in so well there.
