Meet the 12 Breakout Models of Fall 2024
Following another whirlwind fashion month, the models who walked in New York, London, Paris, and Milan will finally be able to take a breather. The fall 2024 season saw plenty of exciting moments on the modeling front, from Agyness Deyn making a surprise return to the runway for Sacai to Batsheva casting only models above the age of 40 (including Molly Ringwald).
Amongst the familiar faces on the runway were plenty of newbies who caught our eye, too. Some are already bookending shows, like Bibi Breslin who opened Max Mara, and Canlan Wang, who closed Proenza Schouler. Others, like Agel Akol, seemed to appear on every runway (she walked an impressive 36 shows), and some made a splash with just one, like Burberry closer Maya Wigram.
The newest class of models hail from every continent barring Antarctica, calling all corners of the world home, from China, to South Sudan, to the Amazon. Below, meet the breakout models of fall 2024.
