It’s fitting that one of the most promising new French models began her career by closing one of the quintessential Parisian shows. Céline Bouly arrived on the scene closing Chloé’s Spring ’16 show, and in the months since, Bouly has managed to appear on the catwalk for nearly all of fashion’s most influential brands. Struts for Loewe, Miu Miu, J.W.Anderson, and Prada are nice, but what really makes Bouly stand out is her unique look: A platinum blonde with a punky shag and a love of dark eyeliner and vintage clothes, Bouly is a style star in the making.
Paris’s groundbreaking designers have always drawn inspiration from France’s models. Women like Inès de La Fressange, Laetitia Casta, Noemie Lenoir, and Audrey Marnay have all made a lasting impact on fashion, and in recent years girls like Constance Jablonski, Aymeline Valade, and Cindy Bruna have proved that France will always be one of modeling’s favorite destinations for finding new talent. With Paris Fashion Week already upon us and a new, diverse generation of French stars ready to work the city’s catwalks, there is no time like the present to get to know the models who will be everywhere this season.
