Style is more than just the fit, it's about the presence you bring to the room.

Here’s a little recap of the casting. Thank you to every aspiring Icon who showed up and gave it a shot!

For some, it was their first time. For others, it was another chance to step back onto the runway. Either way, everyone came in with a story to tell and a vibe of their own. 👠

Seeing so many fresh faces bring their raw energy and personal style to the floor made the whole day hit different. You can already tell this lineup is going to bring something special.
