I was enchanted all over again by Stella Tennant (DNA): first on the runway at Prada, where she stood out amid models who in some cases were nearly 30 years younger than she is; second on the Rue St.-Honoré in Paris, where she strolled hand in hand with one of her gorgeous beanpole daughters; and third backstage at Balenciaga, where she gave me an engaging, spot-on sound bite about Demna Gvasalia’s debut for Vogue Runway’s video. Come back next season, Stella.

My eyes got into the groove of following Mica Arganaraz everywhere—the unconcerned way she paces forward with her curly bangs in her eyes and her neck stuck out is magnetically cool. But when I analyze it, the über-classy, intelligent Julia Nobis (DNA) was the transcendent face and sophisticated persona of the season. She carried every single one of the best looks in the best shows—Bottega Veneta, Balenciaga, and Valentino, to name only three houses with very different identities—but she just owned all of them, as if born to it.

Every time I see her—on the runway or walking around with her equally impossibly good-looking boyfriend—Imaan Hammam (DNA) is like a jolt of good energy. And she also makes everything she wears look better. Kind of the point, no?

One model who I love seeing on all the top runways is Kendall Jenner (The Society). However, her turn as a blonde on Balmain’s runway was truly one of the most enchanting moments of the season. Parfait!

Dilone was the newish model you saw everywhere—always memorably—this season: She’s great. Estella Boersma has gorgeous poise and uncannily Lauren Bacall eyes. My favorite model of the season, though, was Irina Kravchenko (Women Management): She really inhabits clothes, especially at shows like Damir Doma or Margiela, where the collections demand a wearer with a tangible aura of substance to them. I hope she doesn’t disappear next season!
