The Danish Beier debuted on the runway during Copenhagen Fashion Week for labels like Mark Kenly Domino Tan. Developing an interest in modeling after being shot by his photographer brother, William, Beier hopes to one day pursue a career behind the scenes in design.

The pouty blonde Convens is unquestionably beautiful, but that’s only the beginning of the story. A student at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp studying fashion, Convens models beyond gender lines. Photographed for independent publications like CR Fashion Book and Lash, Convens is a photographer favorite, and with an appearance on the Margiela catwalk, it appears that designers are taking note as well.

A familiar face on the runway for Galliano, Sandqvist began his relationship with Maison Margiela via an appearance at Fall 2015’s couture showing. Appearing in many Margiela shows since, Sandqvist has lent his willowy look to a variety of designers, including Rick Owens and Jonathan Anderson, who tapped him for Loewe’s lookbook. When he isn’t on a runway, Sandqvist fronts Stockholm punk band Tella Viv.

As a theater student, Théo Bianconi is used to taking on a variety of roles, so modeling came naturally. His transformation for Margiela involved an oversize beehive and turquoise eyeshadow, but Bianconi was more than game, taking on the new guise with ease. As an actor and writer, Bianconi plans to push himself even further, hoping to perform his self-written dramas onstage one day.
