new york newbies

New York Fashion Week is the first of the four major international fashion weeks, meaning it's a model's first chance to get noticed by casting directors, designers, editors, anyone! That said, more often than not, the biggest new faces often slip through the cracks at NYFW, only to be booked as high profile exclusives in Milan or Paris. (Like Karlie Kloss, for example.)

To combat that we picked out the 10 new models to watch out for now, because they're going to be big deals when Fashion Week comes to a close. Check out our list and tell us which New York newbie your rooting for.
