Model Casting S/S 2026

[Simera]

Anyone know what’s with Claire Marie not walking? American girls not walking NY is concerning. Is she the new Ava Christian / Addison Soens?

The casting of Khaite was strange. One of the Pavlova sisters, whom I haven't seen in a while, was also in it. Maybe it's due to the collections, which aren't particularly interesting, but the castings almost all seem boring.

 

[Simera]

Isn't that Pavlova sister always at Khaite though?
I was expecting Ana Beatriz Cortes there as I thought she was the new PG star.

Also I am going to go on record that I am not loving the new nepo babies Sunday Rose Kidman Urban and Kai Schreiber.
Lennon Sorrenti on the other hand? An Italian girl with hazel green eyes? Yes please!

You're right, it's something like her third or fourth Khaite show in a row. It's about Lia. Don't worry about the Nepo babies. Today at Khaite, the queen of the Nepo was there. Lulu slowed down, am I wrong?

Lulu, Karolina, Ida, Felice, Sascha.
They all did like 2 - 3 shows and that was it.

Sascha, Lina, Chloe, Ella Mccutcheon, Yilan all skipped NYC it seems.

It's probably about that time when the casting directors embrace new faces and phase out some of the more established ones. Though I suppose they're at the point of their careers where they don't really have to walk as much as they used to.

Anok literally walked more haha ( Good for her following her pattern of walking the SS shows unlike our Vittoria!! Though I still have hope she will walk in Milano with all those campaigns she has - stupid of be holding on hope ik lol )

Add Ajus to that as well. She’s MIA

She's not. South Sudanese are banned from entry to the US, so no visa for her or any of the South Sudanese girls. So Rejoice, Mary, Yar, Ajus, Atheic, etc can't enter the US to walk.
That's probably why Fatou is getting so many good bookings.

Exactly, but as far as I know, Mary Ukech will be showing in both Milan and Paris. I wonder if Brokaw and Del Moro, given the conditions, will include more girls like Mary in their shows, after they've snubbed them.

 

[Simera]

I wonder if the casting directors using different African and black models in NYC will cause them to keep using them and reject the South Sudanese or will it make them more popular than before.

Lulu, Karolina, Ida and Felice are all Piergiorgio's girls.

And NYFW is where he has less power.
At the moment he only did the cast for Michael Kors, Ralph Lauren and Khaite.

Since some years NYFW is more experimental.

Jacqui Hooper and Libby Taverner are clearly the next stars.

Karolina I 100% agree is a PG Girl so I was surprised she wasn’t at Khaite. She’s more of a Milano girl anyways.

Felice and Ida though, I feel can walk the line between both. Didn’t Ashley discover them? But I expect they will be at Tory Burch. Felice was a bug walker in NY a few seasons back, but now seems to be mostly a Paris. Though Ida I feel has the perfect look for Spring Summer in any market!

Exactly, Felice hasn't done much in Milan lately either. 2-3 shows at most. And Alex, actually, has done a lot in Paris too.

Good for her following her pattern of walking the SS shows unlike our Vittoria!!

I recently saw a post on Instagram: Carolina Herrera will be presenting the collection in Madrid. I wonder if Vittoria, as the face of the new perfume, will walk the runway for them or perhaps just be in the front row.

 

[prylvi]

Been wondering where is Alix, and Olivia Petronella who walked only Brandon Maxwell and that's it...

I must say her CH perfume campaign looks great in airports with her cheeky little smile

Ahahhahahaaha you killed me hahah, I'm laughing alone in front of strangers because of this message

Yes, true! I've seen her around a couple of times, although the photo where she's smiling is the one I like the least.

Felice started in 2017, so at this point she's still booking A-list shows in Paris and that's her greatest market. It's about quality, not quantity for her. She shows up at Tory Burch tomorrow. Milan is extremely hard for some girls. Prada is supporting their favs (Julia Nobis, Sora Choi etc.) and booking tons of new girls. So sometimes it's better to just even skip a city than walk less important shows like Boss or Ferrari if there's no interest from the biggest brands...

Wait! Ferrari and Boss are sometimes unbeatable when it comes to casting; they have the best girls. I love Felice, but you have to accept that sometimes models aren't booked as often as they used to be. It happens to everyone, from Adut to Vittoria from Anok to Liu. And I think Felice is still with Osana, right? There are models who work with her and who debuted years ago who walk a lot more in Milan. Last season Felice didn't even do Fendi, in this case quality was not considered?

 

[Simera]

Felice is my #1 ( well her and Awar are tied ) so I will always love seeing her in the runway, though I know it’s mostly just Paris.

Really the biggest loss of the season so far is Sascha Rajasalu. I absolutely love her too and her elfish features. Hopefully she will pop up in Europe, though NYC seems to be her best market. I expect she will definitely be at Prada though.

True, Sascha is one of the most interesting faces! Instead, looking at Prabal Gurung, I wondered what had happened to Grace Elizabeth. I mean, I know she's a mom now so she might want to prioritize her private life, but she hasn't been to Milan and Paris in full for a while!
