Model Casting F/W 2026.27

[Valentine27]

Gemma Ward walked for Alaia!

Gemma Ward at Alaïa!

Oh wow! I love this! I was actually thinking about her yesterday... I remember her popping up at Max Mara in 2024. It kind of left us wanting for more. Can't wait to see the pictures.

Apparently Jacqui Hooper walked for The Row, so I wonder what’s going on with her. No Tom Ford, no Alaïa, no Dries, no Courrèges. Very strange.

I expected Bebe Parnell to be doing better as well.

 

[Simera]

I feel like so many of the top walkers from last season are doing so poorly this season. But Jacqui flopping is quite a shocker. Even in Milano, 4 shows.
her NYC showing was very strong though.

But I am so happy to see Valery Sergeeva doing so well! I shouldn't say anything for fears on jinxing her career as I have all my other favorites haha,
speaking of I was happy to see Esther Santos walk a show in Paris! Balmain, so not amazing, but better than Alexander Wang - her only show last season!

But Jacqui flopping is quite a shocker.

I think we have different definitions of the word flop lol. She was shiny and new last year so it’s natural for it to settle down a bit. Shes doing fine.

 

[Summer Day]

It’s hard to get excited for any girl these days because she’ll be discarded in the next season or two. Reminds me of 2011-2014 when the pickings were bland and forgettable.

Luiza Perote with the ongoing Brokaw ban still managed to book 11 shows in Milan. That's impressive tbh.
She and Hejia Li are very consistent in terms of booking shows these past few years.

 

[Scotty]

Gemma looked fab. I hope she gets to walk for Versace again too.

 

[lhhbl]

Raquel Zimmermann just closed Chloé!

 

[amby]

Julia Stegner at Chloé 😍

 

[Magic Spells]

Always a pleasure to see Anna de Rijk and Julia Hafström!

 

[Simera]

Rosalieke seems to be missing from PFW so far too.
That seems odd to me.

 

[subway 123]

Leila and Elise Crombez at Carven.
Raquel,Gemma,Natasha,Elise and Julia are in 2026 Paris fashion week.Jesus bring Daria,Hana and Lily to have a proper reunion!

 

[vogue22]

Bella is walking Schiaparelli tonight.

 

[Ludwig]

Raquel, Julia Stegner and Grace Hartzel at Chloé.. and Mona lost her way on the runway 😂😂

 

[Simera]

Rosalieke finally showed up!!

The more I see Esther Kim the more I like her! At first I was not sure at all, but the more shows she walks the more she is growing on me.
Reagan Lea & Alaina Rae though are probably the stand outs! Alaina opening and closing so many shows in her first season is wild! Especially for a girl who debuted at Marc Jacobs.

 

[slinkystan]

no mica 🧐

 

[AnemonefisH]

I think Prada's leaning down on debuts seems to pay off. Both Alina Miller and Esther Kim are doing great at PFW and they don't look like a one-season-wonder.

 

[hothothorse]

I’m curious about Lennon Sorrenti’s lack of presence this season. I’m guessing she skipped NY, and Milan on her own volition, which is strange in itself but she’s barely showed up in Paris? Considering her family name, and her success last season, I’m wondering if this is a deliberate choice or not. Does anyone know?

 

[Fiercification]

Luiza Perote with the ongoing Brokaw ban still managed to book 11 shows in Milan. That's impressive tbh.

I'm going to assume it's because she's a Piergiorgio girl/debuter. Although he laps up every Prada exclusive Ashley drops like breadcrumbs (often to the detriment of some of the good girls he launches), she is a lot fussier when casting his girls. Bibi Breslin and Mia Armstrong are definitely also on the Brokaw blacklist and so remain in the Khia DM asylum. And yet Heija, Ajus, the Ellas and now Jiahui, Charlie Jones and Jacqui (well, I think of her more as a Julia Lange discovery) are all over Brokaw shows.

On that note wasn't Loewe the first time Sandra Murray booked an Ashley show? Guess she broke free from the asylum .

Casting in Paris is a bit off to me. We seem to be seeing a lot of newcomers being thrown in one season and out the next as if it were 2011. Not great.

At least Sacha has continued her strong showing this season and Karolina Spakowski similarly. Goes to show that when you establish yourself in print over the years you should stick more firmly and can come and go as you please on the runway. And we're not talking about models at the Anok, Mona, Loli level here.
