11 new models who are set to dominate the catwalks this season
A new season doesn't just mean shiny new collections, it also means a whole new host of models. Sure, the regular new generation of supers will be strutting up and down runway after runway - we're looking at you Gigi, Bella and Karlie - but it's also really exciting to spot the future faces.
For casting agent Larissa Gunn, it's literally her job. With a client list including everyone from Dior to Louis Vuitton to Jeremy Scott and Thom Browne, being cast by Larissa can make a model's career. So who better than to quiz on who's going to be big next?
Note these names now. You're guaranteed to be seeing a lot more of them shortly...
