Whether it was new debuts, departures from storied houses, or rumors that became reality, the seismic shifts in fashion this season were as major as they were numerous and it feels like there will still be tremors to come. The Spring/Summer 2025 season dealt with the moves in real time, unleashing a new set of newcomers and breakouts that achieved bookings at shows as far-flung as Alaïa at the Guggenheim to Coperni at Disney World Paris. While it was rare to see models do the full circuit (will those glory days return?), these up-and-comers snagged more opening and closing slots than the usual mark, with many rolling out their season in Milan with top shows like Prada, Versace, and Gucci. As coming inclusivity reports will undeniably highlight the subsequent lack of size inclusive runway representation, it also felt like déjà vu as casting directors turned to support the many familiar faces of our previous Top Newcomers lists. Models.com kept tabs on all the major runway achievements then selected our official list, and asked a selection of the industry’s most influential creatives to weigh in on the S/S 25 new faces they are keeping an eye on. Follow along the Models.com list for Top Newcomers here and Top Breakouts here.
The Top Newcomers are broken down in 2 sections:
