The break, she says, was necessary\u2014a pause to reground, reflect, and return to the industry on her own terms. And return she did: this season, Gaghan came back stronger than ever, opening Veronica Leoni\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/models.com\/work\/calvin-klein-calvin-klein-collection-fw-25-show\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Calvin Klein debut<\/a> in New York and walking more than 30 shows across fashion\u2019s major capitals. As Models.com linked with her on the last day of Paris Fashion Week, it was clear that Gaghan\u2019s current ascension isn\u2019t just about numbers (though those are impressive); it\u2019s about energy and intent. \u201cI just like to paint a picture,\u201d she mentions, a sentiment that echoes through her thoughtful musings on casting dynamics, set design, and even camera lenses. Whether she\u2019s curating casting outfits with vintage tees or funky hair clips, Gaghan has proven she can shape-shift with ease, all while staying deeply, unapologetically herself. Models.com spoke to the quirky ing\u00e9nue between the fashion week chaos to discuss breakout seasons, developing her individuality, and being invested in the whole picture.<\/p>\n<div class=\"introcredits\">\nEditor in Chief: <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/people\/stephan-moskovic\">Stephan Moskovic<\/a><br \/>\nEditorial Director and Introduction: <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/people\/irene-ojo-felix\">Irene Ojo-Felix<\/a><br \/>\nManaging Editor: <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/people\/sasha-grinblat\">Sasha Grinblat<\/a><br \/>\nDirector &#038; Video Editor: <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/people\/davide-derocchi\">Davide Derocchi<\/a><br \/>\n1st Camera Assistant: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/mohamedibra_\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Mohamed Ibrahim Helaly<\/a><br \/>\nSpecial Thanks: <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/agency\/Next-Models-NY\">Next Models<\/a> and <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/people\/christopher-michael\">Christopher Michael<\/a> at Egos &#038; Icons\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Rise (and Return) of Betsy Gaghan When a model makes as much noise during the show season as American rising star Betsy Gaghan, you can\u2019t help but take notice.
