Model of the Week! - Discussion Thread

[littlekiki]

I'd like to start Model of the Week, where we choose a model to discuss that week.

We go through their career and discuss favorite moments, least favorite moments, wax nostalgic on memorable covers, editorials, campaigns, anything at all to do with that particular MOTW.

The MOTW can be from any era, they don't have to be currently active, and all genders are welcome.

You can nominate a model by sending me a direct message, and I'll post the new MOTW every Tuesday. Or if there's a better way to choose a MOTW, let me know, I'm all ears.

I thought this might be a fun thread to start and continue the buzz of the forums while in between fashion weeks!

Also, if there's already something like this that I'm unaware of, mods feel free to delete. Or if it goes against rules or just unneeded, feel free to delete too haha

I'll post the first MOTW momentarily to get this going.

Model of the Week October 7th, 2025:

AWAR ODHIANG

I parasocially love Awar as if I am sixteen, a lonely girl in school addicted to escaping her real life via Twitter + Instagram and raving about models from the outside looking in, all over again. She brings a level of poise/elegance/class to the industry I don’t think either of us have seen from a model in a very long while - and surely not from any of her current peers. And just when you’ve thought you’ve seen it all from one, singular, face… she is equally as kind, joyous, and pleasantly entertaining as you would ideally imagine her to be around.

She’s every bit the type of model any one person in the industry would hope to work alongside, and we are all very lucky to get to witness it in any capacity at all.

@BalkaniStaCouture I’ll be patiently waiting for your response to this thread!!! <3 😘

Deserving of a big 4 Vogue cover but I don't think it will happen any time soon. The only Black models getting them now are Anok, Naomi, and Mona. Not even Adut is getting them since she came back. American Vogue has largely ignored Awar until very recently.

^I could see Awar getting a Vogue UK cover soon, not necessarily solo though.

She's a beam of light, I love her smile and her walk and she looks great in print. A force to be reckoned with!
