Saturday, Miuccia Prada answered why her Miu Miu Resort 2020 was held at a steeplechase track, the Hippodrome d’Auteuil in Paris, specifically. Models trotted down the runway in heaps of toppling hats, chunky platforms attached to the long-limbed ladies donning low-low white collars and equestrian prints. Prim done Miuccia’s way. Amongst them, Yorgelis Marte doubled down on her show-closer status for the brand finishing off this show and adding it to a series of year-round successes. That is, from her Saint Laurent debut to her Salvatore Ferragamo campaign, all in year-one from the Dominican model we were just only introduced to. Does one make catwalk tweaks their second turn closing a Miu Miu show? “No, nothing different, just walking with the confidence that they trusted me to be the final note of the collection for a second time!” wrote Yorgelis over e-mail, noting of the unique location, “I had never seen anything like it before.” Over the course of single year she’s been blessed by bookings any model would want. Between shows and shoots: “Shows are always a great spectacle to be a part of, but it’s always nice to be on set and see your photos come out after! My new Salvatore Ferragamo campaign just got released. It was such a fun day shooting with Harley Weir and the other models. To see it come to life was amazing.” Blessed is a word she agrees with, telling Models.com, “I am blessed to be here to provide for my family and my 2 year old son, I hope the drive and determination I have will carry me through into a long and lengthy career as a model, lets see!”
