Who are the models that ruled SS22 Fashion Weeks From Gigi Hadid's return to the catwalk to Quannah Chasinghorse's debut, to the success of Paloma Elsesser and Precious Lee

The fashion weeks dedicated to spring-summer 2022 have just ended. In a month we have discovered not only what we will wear in the coming seasons, but also that, after months of pandemic and social distance, fashion feels like a new beginning. Between nostalgia of the early 2000s, sexy garments and special collaborations, designers have brought their creations to the runway and hired iconic models like Naomi Campbell or Kate Moss, it-girls like Gigi Hadid and Dua Lipa, but also many new faces that could become stars in the coming seasons. 

G-club reports on which models ruled SS22 Fashion Weeks.

The comeback of Gigi Hadid

The last fashion weeks have been full of special guests, not so many celebrities such as singers or actresses, but real top models who came for their favorite brands. At Balmain, which was celebrating Olivier Rousteing's 10 years as creative director, we could recognize some of the iconic faces of the 90s and early 2000s such as Naomi Campbell, Milla Jovovich, Carla Bruni, Karen Elson, Natalia Vodianova, Lara Stone, Mariacarla Boscono, Adut Akech and Natasha Poly. An equally cool and numerous fashion squad is the one that wore the collection born from the collaboration between Versace and Fendi. Some names? Kate Moss with her daughter Lila Grace, Emily Ratajkowski, Irina Shayk, Shalom Harlow, Amber Valletta, Kristen McMenamy, Vittoria Ceretti, Precious Lee and many other models who also participated in the Versace show together with Gigi Hadid and Dua Lipa. The singer with Albanian roots is perhaps the most interesting and admired guest spotted during these fashion weeks, perfectly comfortable with the sexy outfits designed by Donatella Versace. Not as surprising, but certainly charismatic, was the presence of Michelle Lamy who opened the show for Rick Owens or that of Asia Argento who walked the catwalk for Lanvin, while a bit underwhelming was Azealia Banks who made her debut as a model in a long dress covered in roses by Kim Shui.

New faces

Despite the many top models we have seen in recent weeks, there are many who have noticed the absence of Bella Hadid and Kendall Jenner. Although there are no official statements, it seems that both are too busy developing their new businesses. Bella, in particular, is focusing on several advertising campaigns and on Kin Euphorics, the non-alcoholic adaptogenic drink she has recently launched on the market. Regarding Kendall, however, the situation is slightly different. Sure, the model is busy with her new role as creative director for luxury e-tailer FWRD, but that's not all. Miss Jenner has long since decided to take part in only a few shows, without being a slave to the frenetic schedule that dominated her past fashion weeks. The choice is dictated by a small to the general fashion system and its frenzy in producing and exploiting clothes, trends and characters, but also for health reasons. Kendall, who during this NYFW walked the runway for Michael Kors, suffers from anxiety and panic attacks that the typical stress of the fashion month exacerbates.
