Sora Choi Takes a Rare Pause Between Fashion Capitals

Versailles. Shanghai. Florence. It’s all in a regular show season for Sora Choi, who has been jetting across continents this summer with the ease of a seasoned pro. It’s expected from someone with as many remarkable achievements in her career as Choi. From closing Prada’s Fall/Winter 2025 show in Milan after a year long runway break to fronting campaigns for virtually every major luxury house, the South Korean powerhouse has long cemented her Industry Icon status. With her trademark jet-black fringe and chameleonic allure, she has worked with major photographers like Steven Meisel, Willy Vanderperre, David Sims and countless others that have supported her career. In just over a decade, she’s garnered top honors with her striking versatility, landing her on double-digit covers with Vogue Italia, Vogue Korea, W Magazine, and i-D. Now, after a whirlwind of fashion capitals, Choi finally has rare downtime to recharge in her adopted home of New York, where she has 24 hours to kill her wanderlust. Whether she’s running to catch a flight, singing karaoke, or missing her favorite pancake spot in Flatiron, Choi proves that icon status is lived in every moment. In this exclusive Models.com video feature shot by director Will Pippin, Choi lets her guard down to reveal her favorite haunts, her disarmingly shy and down-to-earth personality, and the playful spirit behind her runway poise.
