FERNANDA LY

The pink-haired, Sydney-based Australian Chinese model stars in Louis Vuitton’s S/S ’16 campaign. And before she landed a handful of recent magazine covers, her name was on the lips of fashion editors everywhere when she opened LV’s show in Paris last October. Not shabby at all for a 19-year-old who was scouted while at a shopping mall with her mum.

YUKA MANNAMI

Discovered last year on Instagram (@nijihan, with more than 80,000 followers now), the 1.76m-tall Japanese model’s very first booking was for a Uniqlo campaign. Since then, she’s scored her first Milan Fashion Week show, strutting her stuff for Fendi. We’ve got a feeling we’ll be seeing a lot more of her this year.

BHUMIKA ARORA

Insiders are calling this 28-year-old the most successful Indian model since Lakshmi Menon (who featured in campaigns for Hermes, Givenchy and H&M). Soon after a friend sent her photo to a magazine, Bhumika appeared in her  first runway show in 2014 – for Dries van Noten in Paris, no less. Now, she’s a bona fide designer darling. For S/S ’16, she walked major shows like Fendi, Dolce & Gabbana and Bottega Veneta.
