The spring 2026 fashion season introduced 15 talented new designers, marking a truly exciting chapter in the industry. From Rachel Scott’s initial vision for Proenza Schouler (her official debut is set for February) to Matthieu Blazy’s spectacular show for Chanel, it was a month to remember in fashion.
In addition to new creative leadership, the runways were graced by fresh faces that captivated audiences. This year—amongst a collection of supermodels and previous Vogue breakout stars—ten remarkable talents stood out during the shows from New York to Paris.
Representing a global background, this diverse group includes Ivy Stewart from Kirriemuir, Scotland, and Athiec Geng from Juba, South Sudan. Some models experienced a sense of homecoming on the runway: Luna Yohannan lit up the catwalk for Tory Burch and Coach in her native New York City, while Charlie Jones showcased for Simone Rocha in his homeland, the United Kingdom.
The breakout models of spring 2026 made impressive strides in their inaugural season, with many already leading shows. Belgian model Marylore Heck opened Rabanne, while Yohannan concluded it; Canadian model Emaan Zishan provided the opening look for Duran Lantink’s Jean Paul Gaultier collection. Noor Khan from Stockholm made a significant impact, opening for Khaite and closing for Calvin Klein Collection and Alexander McQueen.
Here, we introduce Vogue’s standout models from the remarkable spring 2026 season.
