Meet the 10 Breakout Models of Spring 2022
After a year of virtual shows and lookbooks, fashion month returned to form with the spring 2022 collections. The return of real world events and international travel allowed new models to make their mark on the runways of New York, London, Milan, and Paris, and contribute to the renewed optimism and sense of possibility that defined the season.
Runway models tended to be anonymous in the early aughts, but modern casting is all about personality. Whether they share a moniker with one of music’s biggest stars, have a name that calls to mind royalty, or happen to be the year’s breakout star, the most notable models of the season were exceptional. Artists, aspiring doctors, theater geeks, or stylish surfers, they’re all well worth remembering. Below, a guide to the ten new models who enlivened the season’s collections.
