It’s rare for a model to have the total package of a powerful walk, commanding presence, and next-level beauty, but somehow Faretta managed it. Following up her debut at Givenchy last fall, the Croatian stunner appeared on all the right runways, then took things full circle by walking Riccardo Tisci’s SS17 show.

Among the designers who put Picton Warlow’s classic beauty to good use were Jonathan Anderson and Marni’s Consuelo Castiglioni, both of whom selected her to open their shows.

Though she was discovered via social media, Dutch newcomer Jessie Bloemendaal is a model’s model. With her chameleonlike good looks, Bloemendaal lives for the excitement of the shows and her skill was obvious each time she stepped onto the runway.

Already gracing the cover of French Vogue twice this year and working with photographers such as David Sims and Lachlan Bailey, Luna Bijl began fashion month by entering the next phase of her career. It should come as no surprise that designers responded to her with the same enthusiasm as editors and image-makers.
