Runway models have always been anonymous when it comes to fashion. Whether they have featured in one’s biggest music videos or landed a major fashion campaign, no one really knows them. Now the time has changed, models are bringing their style and aesthetics that are giving fashion industry a new definition altogether.
Below, are some of the best emerging fashion models that you need to watch out as the “Supermodel” is written all over their face-
Devyn Garcia
Devyn Garcia started modeling merely at the age of 19. Represented by DNA models, Devyn has come a long way as a plus-size model in a high fashion circle. Originally from Miami Beach, Devyn has modeled for Gabriela Hearst, Brandon Maxwell, Altuzarra, Chloé, etc. Fashion always talks about bringing diversity and inclusivity but barely allows any models who aren’t typical white, stick-figure models.
Spring 2022 put Devyn to new heights of success when she was cast in many runway shows of brands such as Altuzarra, Brandon Maxwell, and Chloé. Garcia’s commercial work is also quite outstanding doing campaigns for Victoria’s Secret and Nordstrom.
