Alla Kostromicheva.
Milan's runways may have left little room for new girls to shine, but Paris proved otherwise. Fresh face Kelsey Van Mook opened for Givenchy, leading a stellar cast of models like Adriana Lima, Brandi Quinones, and Ujjwala Raut. Current French Vogue cover girl Iris Strubegger showed her versatility when she opened Rick Owens and closed Karl Lagerfeld. Magdalena Frackowiak was also a busy girl, opening Lanvin and Louis Vuitton, closing Alexander McQueen, and doing both at Sophia Kokosalaki. Like previous winners Amanda Laine and Sigrid Agren, Alla Kostromicheva came bolting out of the gate, opening for Alexander McQueen. Stefano Pilati selected her to open Yves Saint Laurent, too. And when she did walk for other designers it was only for the best ones: Balenciaga, Louis Vuitton, and Valentino. It's safe to say a new runway star has been born.
