Another season has come and gone, and now begins the editorial grind. Here are the six break-out faces we’re hoping to see in print in the coming months.
Aliz Menyhert — Repped by Art Models (Hungary) and Viva (Paris), we’re expecting this ethereal beauty to follow in the footsteps of fellow Hungarian blond Vanessa Axente. Follow her on Instagram @alizcaptain and check her out on models.com.
Amilna Estevao — From Alexander Wang to Giambattista Valli, it was hard to find a major show without Amilna in the line-up this season. Her mother agency is Da Banda Model Management (Luanda, Angola), and Amilna is also thoroughly integrated into the Elite World family with representation by The Society (New York), and Elite proper in Paris, Milan, London, and Stockholm. Follow her on Instagram @amilnaestevao and check her out on models.com.
Keep an eye on Angola — Middle East & Africa
Bhumika Arora — This 27-year-old Indian stunner is another Elite success story. She’s represented by The Society (New York), and Elite in Paris, Milan, London, Copenhagen, and Barcelona. She walked a couple of small shows last season, but this past fashion month she really killed it with turns at Marc Jacobs, Bottega Veneta, Balmain, and many more. Follow her on Instagram @bhumika_arora04 and check her out on models.com.

Emma Genier — Talk about cleaning house! Chanel, Gucci, and so many more, this Canadian had a fabulous first season. She’s represented by The Society (New York), Elite in Paris and Milan, Premier (London), Sutherland Models (Toronto), Folio (Montreal), and her mother agent is Chantale Nadeau, who represents several other rising stars (Sophie Touchet, for example). Follow Emma on Instagram @emmagenier and check her out on models.com.

Lineisy Montero — Prada exclusives tend to live up to the hype when they’re followed by other major bookings in Paris. So expect this Dominican beauty to stick around. She followed her Prada booking with walks at Balenciaga, Céline, Givenchy, Louis Vuitton, Miu Miu, and Stella McCartney. She’s with Next in Paris, Milan, and London, and we’re looking forward to her bringing back the afro in a big way this year. Follow her on Instagram @lineisymontero and check her out on models.com.
