Scouted at her cousin’s wedding by an eagle-eyed photographer, Franziska Stegemann was studying to be a teacher before being pulled into the modeling industry. Stegemann’s look recalls German bombshell models of decades past like Claudia Schiffer and Karen Mulder; her start at Calvin could eventually lead to lucrative beauty work.

Modeling quietly in between attending school, the elegant Anna Kazannik experienced her first New York Fashion Week after four years in the business. Looking like she just stepped out of a fairy tale, Kazannik is quickly becoming known for her wide eyes and ethereal beauty. While spending the week doing looks with Francisco Costa and his team, Kazannik picked up a few pointers on the inner workings of a collectsion—knowledge sure to come in handy as she heads off to the European shows.

An all-American beauty in the mold of Patti Hansen and Angela Lindvall, Olivia Jones is the blonde next door in the best possible way. Jones’s New York Fashion Week kicked off with an exclusive at Calvin Klein, but the highlight may have been meeting her favorite model, Karlie Kloss.

The lips! The walk! The teeth! Gap-toothed beauty Mia Quinn is everything a designer wants in an exclusive: new, exciting, and just a little mysterious. On social, her feed is filled with teenage pursuits—barbecues, summer holidays, and lots of skiing—but on the catwalk Quinn projects a ladylike chic that belies her youth.

Don’t call it a comeback! The Aldridge sisters have had a place in fashion since Saffron set foot on the catwalk back in the ’90s, and youngest sister Ruby carved out an impressive place for herself in the ’00s as one of fashion’s key cool girls. Aldridge’s three-year break from the runway ended at the Calvin show with a confident return to form.

Back in 2008, Suvi Koponen took over from Natalia Vodianova as the face of Calvin Klein and brought an elegant austerity to the label’s campaign imagery. Though she’s been notably absent from the Calvin runway since Fall 2013, Koponen has retained her status as one of the busiest models working. Returning as an exclusive for one of the brands that took her career to the next level provided that show with its most impressive model moment.

As the daughter of 1980s modeling icon Jeny Howorth, Georgia Howorth comes from a fashion legacy, but it wasn’t until family friends Katie Grand and Arthur Elgort convinced her to try modeling that she decided to give it a go. Now modeling and studying photography at university, Howorth is a talent to watch in front of and behind the camera.
