This season\u2019s runways seemed to be brimming with Cinderella stories: A woman who was scouted on the street in Missouri as a young teenager made her runway debut for Proenza Schouler, a teenager cemented their remarkable transition from viral comedian on TikTok to bona fide high-fashion model, and a non-binary model strut for a slew of prestigious houses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the most exciting names were models who made their debuts a year or two ago. The move signals a commitment from designers to fostering exciting new talent. Below, a guide to eleven models who added memorable sparks to the season\u2019s collections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Able to effortlessly match the codes of each house she works for, she embodied Parisian It girl at Dior Couture and then colorful glam at Zimmermann.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agency: Uncover Models
Hometown: Warsaw, Poland
Season Highlights: Prada, Loewe, Louis VuittonFashion often operates as an escapist fantasy where societal rules and codes can be broken. But there can sometimes be, annoyingly, an antiquated approach to gender. One bright spot towards progress came in the form of Alin Szewczyk. They were serendipitously scouted not too far from Uncover\u2019s offices in Warsaw and signed in June 2022. Szewczyk made their debut by closing out Prada\u2019s spring 2023 show. Their grand tour continued over in Paris for Louis Vuitton and Loewe. They are part of a growing, and much-needed, wave of non-binary models walking in top bill shows\u2014subtly pushing for a greater and more full-throated embrace of gender non-conformity within fashion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But her most recent bout of gigs seemed to represent a bona fide high fashion breakthrough moment for the model, who currently boasts over one million followers on Instagram. Gray illustrated her ability to shape-shift as a model. She adopted British grunge for Vivienne Westwood, later crediting the designer\u00a0on Instagram<\/a>\u00a0for inspiring her to break into fashion. And prior to that full-circle moment in Paris, Hamlin made standout appearances at Richard Quinn, Balenciaga, and Tommy Hilfiger.

Agency: IMG Models
Hometown: Bay Area, California
Instagram:\u00a0@alexconsani<\/a>Alex Consani is no joke. The 18-year-old has gone from crafting distinctly Gen-Z comedy videos on TikTok to strutting for labels such as Alexander McQueen and Versace. Not bad for someone who began their social media Cinderella story\u00a0on a whim<\/a>\u00a0during COVID lockdowns. And while Consani hit an impressive number of runways during the fall 2022 season, this season solidified her status as a legitimate model. She was booked and busy, walking for Roberto Cavalli, Boss by Hugo Boss, Burberry, Chlo\u00e9, Coperni, and many others. The most amazing part? Consani still finds time to showcase her unique and infectious sense of humor\u00a0on TikTok<\/a>\u00a0in-between gigs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, however, she uses it as a conduit for self-reflection and self-exploration, in order to understand more about herself and her style. She believes modeling to be a way of bringing imagination to reality, a unique transformation that few careers can manifest .Since then, Chan has made the fashion industry all her own by appearing in shows for Khaite, JW Anderson, and Louis Vuitton.
