𝐍𝐄𝐖 𝐘𝐎𝐑𝐊 “I didn’t realize how major it was until about now.” After months of keeping what probably felt like the biggest ever secret, Nyawurh could finally share her Steven Meisel campaign, and, oh boy, was it major! Photographed this spring, it was something Nyawurh had to keep under wraps all summer long until the photographer’s capsule collection for Zara dropped Friday morning shows began in New York. Now that her shoot was live, Fashion Month could begin in earnest.

This episode like all of Nyawurh’s begins in the early hours as she makes yet another pre-dawn call time. On the day, she walks for Tiffany and Co. at its preview of Blue Book 2023, a high jewelry collection designed by Nathalie Verdeille. An ambitious afternoon ensues with a casting and Jason Wu fitting. Come evening, it’s time to turn it on at the Steven Meisel New York pop-up downtown at 33 Howard Street.

The meteoric rise of Nyawurh Chuol is undeniable. Over three successive seasons this series makes it plain to see, this girl has no ceiling.

𝐒𝟓𝐄𝟒 “This is my childhood,” explains Luna Passos. Nursing a 330 ml aluminum can of Guaraná Antarctica in the backseat of a Peugeot after a long day at Paris Fashion Week takes the Brazilian-born beauty back to those carefree birthday parties attended as a child. Musing for a moment, then suddenly with a snap of her fingers Luna jolts to the present — “the bomb!”

Poise is one of those qualities that cannot be learned, fortunately for Luna she possesses it in abundance. Having begun modeling life as a Saint Laurent exclusive, she’s since gone from strength to strength, gathering plaudits along the way featuring in advertising campaigns, editorials, and runway shows.

In this particular episode of NEXT 12 Hours, Luna walks for the first time for Dries Van Noten in between makes a Victoria Beckham fitting and the odd casting. What might have been an attritional day, is made something of a lark by Luna, who reminds viewers of the sweeter side of life growing up Brazilian, namely ouro branco, paçoca rolha, and of course guaraná-flavored soda. What is more, after all that, nearly a dozen hours in the field, Luna pole dances in her flat…the bomb!

𝐒𝟓𝐄𝟑 “I don’t know the runway, but we’ll see,” says Bo Exters moments before stepping into the unknown on this final day of Milan Fashion Week. What might have proven daunting was made to look elementary by the Dutch beauty, now in her second full season, as she strode out with confidence for what was the third and ultimate show of her 13 hour and 27 minute day. The same was true throughout the day for all her shows, Bo doesn’t miss a step any more than she does her looks once they drop on Vogue Runway.

𝐒𝟓𝐄𝟐 “ᴡʜᴇʀᴇᴠᴇʀ, ᴍʏ ᴡᴀʏ” declares a tattoo on the back of Lineisy Montero’s right shoulder. Defiant, yet unassuming, inked in a block print combination of blue, orange, red, purple, green, and black, this declaration is an encapsulation of the Dominican beauty’s reign at the top of the game since she made her debut eight years ago in Milan. Then, her way was wearing her hair naturally when no other girls had. Today, Lineisy’s way is a testament to a longevity of the rarest sort.

S4E1 Mathilda Gvarliani, that beauty from Tblisi, got her fashion week well and truly underway Friday evening for Fendi, but not before experiencing a full day that included an early morning casting and fitting, Citi Bike ride down 7th Avenue, agency visit, and a whole lot more! Filmed over the course 13 hours and 16 minutes, this episode necessarily exceeded its serial title for the simple fact that Mathilda is superlative. You saw her here first this week, now remember the name Mathilda Gvarliani for the coming weeks and beyond!

And yet Gianni not only paints skeletons on the street, he also fills canvases of oil, fabricates modular sneakers tongue to sole, he builds beats, he melds melodies, and marshals his fine artistry in about a dozen other disciplines fit for a polymath. Gianni is the guy, try to keep up, the trip’s worth the price of the ticket.
