In fact, Angel’s show list for the last week was filled with the most coveted shows, such as Lacoste, Altuzarra, Prabal Gurung, Calvin Klein, Proenza Schouler, Michael Kors and Rag & Bone — adding up to 18 shows.

9. Sophia Ahrens (DNA)
The charming British model, who finally made her runway debut, has all the chances to become one of the breakout stars this season. Sophia may look familiar because you may have seen her as the face of the Prada Fall 2013 campaign or Marc Jacobs Daisy perfume. On the runway she shined, walking for no less than 18 shows, opening three of them (Narciso Rodriguez, Thakoon and BCBGMaxAzria, where she also closed).
While Sophia hit the runways of the most prestigious shows (Ralph Lauren, Prabal Gurung, Calvin Klein), forum members were explicit in citing their admiration. Anlabe32 said that she is “one of the best looking girls this season. Love seeing her everywhere.” VERNIQUE stated that “she looks great in every show she walks" and Mahi was happy that Sophia is “doing so great, stunning model with so strong features typically suiting runways and high fashion."
The European runways are waiting for you, Sophia!

8. Lexi Boling (Ford)
The stunning American can definitely be called a veteran of NYFW, and this time Lexi opened Edun and showed up in such major shows as Derek Lam, Proenza Schouler, Marc Jacobs, Calvin Klein and Alexander Wang — totaling 20 shows in a week. There are high chances that the star of Alexander Wang, Hugo, Coach and Dior is up for another great season.

7. Adrienne Jüliger (DNA)
The 17-year-old German beauty completed her first NYFW and it seems like she absolutely smashed it. It felt like a good start for a newbie to walk for 20 shows, including Jason Wu, Altuzarra, Donna Karan, Proenza Schouler, Calvin Klein, Boss and Rag & Bone. Also, the Prada Resort 2015 campaign star opened and closed Coach's show, and closed Victoria Beckham and Tory Burch.
Forum members are hoping that Adrienne will have a spectacular season. Valentine27 was positive that “she's about to be everywhere this season." And we definitely don’t mind seeing more of this delicate beauty.

6. Mica Arganaraz (DNA)
The amazing Argentine who took our breath away in the Givenchy Spring 2015 campaign has totally been killing it at NYFW for a few seasons, and this one is no exception. Overall, Mica walked for 21 shows, opening Lacoste and appearing in Jason Wu, Alexander Wang, Donna Karan, Marc Jacobs, Proenza Schouler, Calvin Klein, Michael Kors and others.
Mica is definitely a standout, and forum members set their sights on her haircut, as theripper mentioned that “she was the only girl at Jason Wu with hair that wasn't dead straight. Is the shaggy mop like her signature thing or something?” Firefly216 declared that she loves "her haircut so much!" Whether it’s related to the hair, the looks or the whole image, Mica is going to rock this Fashion Month!

5. Alexandra Elizabeth (The Society)
This Estonian beauty owned NYFW since the very moment she debuted at Proenza Schouler Spring 2014. Being the first face at Victoria Beckham, Alexandra showed up at Marc by Marc Jacobs, Edun, Proenza Schouler and Calvin Klein as well. The star of Saint Laurent's Spring 2015 campaign walked for 21 shows in New York City and seems absolutely ready to take other fashion cities over.
Forum members can’t wait to see how things will evolve further. Mea Culpa was happy that “she's everywhere” and gossiping thought that she was “beautiful...killing it again this season." We couldn’t agree more and are eager to watch the amazing model on the runway through the rest of Fashion Month.

4. Vanessa Moody (Women)
It’s the third NYFW for the American stunner, who landed Alexander Wang, Valentino and Versace Jeans campaigns. Having walked 22 runway shows last week, Vanessa doesn’t seem to be slowing down at all. The model looked absolutely amazing opening Donna Karan and forum members are thrilled by her runway presence.
Forum member zoom mentioned that he is “impressed by Miss Moody and the chic effortless intensity she brings to each fashion appearance.” Mody said that she has the “right amount of edge plus right amount of beauty." In a fast-changing world where versatility is key, Vanessa seems to have perfectly encapsulated this ideal. Can’t wait to see how she works it in Europe!

Maartje is another striking Dutch to dominate the runways, and everybody seems to be enjoying this fact. Maartje’s exquisite looks made her a total star of the three latest Valentino campaigns. In New York City, we saw the stunner open DKNY and Altuzarra, close Narciso Rodriguez as well as walk for Alexander Wang, Jason Wu, Edun, Michael Kors, Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein and Proenza Schouler — adding up to 23 shows in a week. Keep rocking on the European runways, Maartje!

2. Julia Bergshoeff (DNA)
It’s hard to believe that this striking catwalker from Holland is only in her second season in New York City. The star of the Coach, DSquared2 and Proenza Schouler campaigns continued her success on the runways this season by opening Prabal Gurung along with Jill Stuart and closing Edun and Altuzarra. Landing a total of 23 shows, Julia walked for Alexander Wang, Jason Wu, Edun, Michael Kors, Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein and Proenza Schouler.
Forum members are excited about Julia’s looks and strong runway performance. "I have to say, when looking at her runway shows already this season, that she's one of the absolute BEST in the industry at current,” HeatherAnne stated, while Magic Spells claimed that he “has never seen this level of beauty." We can only hope for many more shows to come.

The stunning Brazilian beauty walked for no less than 26 shows in New York City, which is really impressive. Last week, we saw Waleska on the runways of such big shows as Marc Jacobs, Narciso Rodriguez, Rag & Bone, Diane von Furstenberg, Jason Wu and many more. Waleska got to open one show (Sophie Theallet) and close two (Cushnie et Ochs and Tadashi Shoji), and forum members can’t seem to get enough of her. TheoG mentioned that “it’s incredible how consistent she is each season! I love her walk and energy, she seems very nice in person."
Go Waleska! Hope to see more of you in London, Milan and Paris!
