For most models, it marks the culmination of nearly a month on the road, of endless days of castings, fittings, and miles and miles of travel from show to presentation and back. The runway veterans have the game figured out, but for the crop of new faces every season, the learning curve can be sharp. We found time with seven of our favorite new stars who\u2019ve made an impact on the catwalks at the Spring 2015 shows, proving that inexperience is no burden to success. Our picks, shot over the final weekend of Paris Fashion Week by Dirk Alexander with styling by Adele Cany, range from brand-new boys who were scouted just weeks ago to a few more-experienced guys who had breakout seasons this time around. What they all have in common, however, is a fresh-faced excitement about their new prominence in the industry, along with clear eyes set on the possibilities that lie ahead.<\/p>\n<p>Text by <a href='https:\/\/models.com\/people\/jonathan-shia'>Jonathan Shia<\/a><br \/>\nPhotography by <a href='https:\/\/models.com\/people\/dirk-alexander'>Dirk Alexander<\/a><br \/>\nStyling by <a href='https:\/\/models.com\/people\/adele-cany'>Adele Cany<\/a> @ Angela De Bona NYC<br \/>\nHair by <a href='https:\/\/models.com\/people\/jean-baptiste-santens'>Jean Baptiste Santens<\/a><br \/>\nGrooming by <a href='https:\/\/models.com\/people\/virginie-rascle'>Virginie Rascle<\/a><br \/>\nCasting by <a href='https:\/\/models.com\/people\/jonathan-shia'>Jonathan Shia<\/a> and Betty Sze<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"imgbox credits\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2014\/07\/02_Sang_Mats.jpg\" alt=\"02_Sang_Mats\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-31729\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2014\/07\/02_Sang_Mats.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2014\/07\/02_Sang_Mats-840x630.jpg 840w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2014\/07\/02_Sang_Mats-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2014\/07\/02_Sang_Mats-200x150.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>LEFT: <a href='https:\/\/models.com\/models\/sang-kim'>Sang Woo Kim<\/a> wearing <a href='https:\/\/models.com\/client\/224'>22\/4<\/a><\/h3>\n<h3>RIGHT: <a href='https:\/\/models.com\/models\/Mats-Van-Snippenberg'>Mats Van Snippenberg<\/a> wearing jacket by <a href=\"https:\/\/kitsune.fr\">Maison Kitsun\u00e9<\/a> and sweatshirt by <a href='https:\/\/models.com\/client\/kenzo'>Kenzo<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Sang Woo Kim, 20, London<\/strong><br \/>\nEven after dabbling in the fashion world with an internship at Prada in Korea and modeling stints for his classmates during his time in a foundation course at Central Saint Martins last year, Kim says his rapid introduction to the industry was like \u201cbeing thrown into the deep end.\u201d \u201cMy first job, the Stone Island campaign, was a week after my first shoot,\u201d he says, \u201cand I had no idea what was going on.\u201d Still, the painter and fine-arts student has quickly found his feet, walking for DKNY, Dries Van Noten, DSquared2, Neil Barrett, and Dolce &#038; Gabbana in his first full season. \u201cIt was amazing,\u201d he says of the experience. \u201cBeing a skinny Asian boy, Milan was written-off, so doing four shows there was a dream.
