A comprehensive list of the fresh faces that should be on your agenda as we enter the spring/summer 2016 fashion week season.
By Christopher Prince
Rianne de KramerRebel Model Management
With Pre-Raphaelite features evocative of Ophelia, Dutch newcomer Rianne de Kramer made her professional debut as an exclusive for Saint Laurent last season. Between then and now de Kramer has slowly been building her portfolio, most recently fronting the lookbook for Veronique Branquinho Cruise 2016. Expect to see her again in Paris after a new signing on the books of Mmanagement Models.
Liv Mason PearsonSelect Model Management
The gamine, bambi-eyed Liv Mason Pearson was an exclusive for Balenciaga last season, not only fronting their pre-fall 2015 campaign, but also walking the runway for creative director, Alexander Wang’s final show. Signed to Select Model Management this August the 15-year-old is set to ignite the industry. Keep an eye out for her at London Fashion Week.
Daniela DominiqueWilhelmina Models
Adding some Mexican diversity to the books of Wilhelmina Models New York this winter is Daniela Dominique. Her bowl-cut and hooded eyes became a trademark last season. Dominique has been flying fairly under the radar following a stint at Berlin-based M4 Model Management, but she’s back in the Big Apple and set to take New York Fashion Week by storm.
Pooja MorElite Model Management
Born and raised in Mumbai, the latest model on the books of Elite Model Management needed only three casting appointments before landing a modelling contract. Pooja Mor came to America after studying computer engineering in her home country. The dusky beauty has walked for Louis Vuitton, Hugo Boss and Stella McCartney Cruise 2016, and is set to change up the status quo on the runways of the biggest fashion capitals this season.
Tara FallaMuse Management
Known as Pheebee ‘Tara’ Falla, or simply Tara Falla at Your Angel Models France, the 5’10 Parisian beauty made her debut during last season’s Haute Couture Week, walking for the likes of Ralph & Russo, Serkan Cura and Manu Reas. After a year in development Falla joined the books of Muse Management in New York. Expect to see her walking in one of the many shows on the schedule this season.
Emma SilvertonElite Model Management
Scouted by her mother agency, Mutha UK in London this September, Emma Silverton has already been snapped up by Elite Model Management in New York and Premium Paris. The blonde-haired blue-eyed beauty may fit the archetypal model mould, but Silverton’s portfolio already proves she has the potential to stand out from the crowd.
Clare CrawfordLudlow Scout
Hailing from Montreal, the new model on the books of Ludlow Scout has garnered international interest from IMG Models this season, and is set to hit her first fashion week in New York. Crawford’s very distinctive features – a Mick Jagger-esque mouth and furrowed brow – will no doubt attract the attention of the big name designers come spring/summer 2016.
