    Gabriel-Kane Day-Lewis

    Family Connection: Acting legends Daniel Day-Lewis and Isabelle Adjani

    Accomplishments: Even without his starry lineage, Gabriel-Kane Day-Lewis instantly grabs your attention; the tattoos, the cheekbones, the occasionally bleached hair—it all combines into one irresistible bad-boy package. Whether he was escorting Julianne Moore down the catwalk at Chanel’s casino-themed couture show or appearing in Balmain’s menswear lookbook, Day-Lewis has been quietly cropping up in all the right places.

    Accomplishments: With a Marc Jacobs campaign already under her belt in addition to a hit single and indie magazine covers, Smith is well on her way toward multimedia dominance, and her recent joining up with The Society Management means we’re certain to see far more of her in 2016.

    Dylan Brosnan

    Family Connection: Dad is Bond, James Bond (aka Pierce Brosnan)

    Instagram: Shockingly, Dylan is Insta-free—but dad Pierce does a great job of keeping the world updated on his latest bookings. @piercebrosnanofficial

    Accomplishments: Entering the modeling business with a Saint Laurent campaign is a surefire way to capture fashion’s attention. Brosnan’s long hair and lanky frame work perfectly with the rock ’n’ roll aesthetic, but he’s quickly developing a following outside of the cult of Hedi Slimane.

    Cuba Tornado Scott

    Family Connection: Grandchild of Ridley Scott, who directed classics like Blade Runner and Alien. Her father, Jake Scott, directed music videos for everyone from The Strokes and R.E.M. to U2 and The Smashing Pumpkins.

    Instagram: @cubatornado

    Accomplishments: An artist, equestrian, and student, Cuba Tornado Scott models only when she isn’t drawing, show jumping, or traveling the world. With her shaved head and arresting personal style, Scott makes for an appealing muse. Ending her year on a high note with a spot on the cover of the Russian edition of Vogue, Scott is poised to bring her swagger to even more projects in the coming months.
