New Models to Watch Out For

    Kaia Gerber stole this year's Spring/Summer Fashion Week. Walking in shows such as Versace, Alexander Wang, and Moschino, she showed the world that she truly is Cindy Crawford’s daughter. However, does Kaia Gerber deserve all the recognition she received this fashion week? Do any of today's biggest models deserve their notoriety? Kendall Jenner is part of the Kardashian family. Gigi and Bella Hadid are the daughters of “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Yolanda Hadid. Hailey Baldwin is actor Stephen Baldwin's daughter and Alec Baldwin's niece. Once upon a time, models like Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, and Tyra Banks earned their supermodel status. What happened to models that earn their place in the industry?

This Fashion Week, there were many new models that hit the runway; models that are not the children of famous people, but rather people that worked their way up in the fashion industry through hard work. They are diverse, beautiful, and empowering. They are changing the industry and beauty standards. Here are some of this year’s new models that earned their model status.
