No model walks their first Fashion Week unprepared — not on our roster. Every new face enters a development programme that runs eight weeks before the season: walk coaching in the actual show shoes, test shoots with agency photographers, and fittings timed like the real thing.
Week one is foundations: posture, pace, and the turn. Weeks two to four add difficulty — stairs, cameras, quick changes, and the famous Saturday session where seniors like Élodie walk alongside newcomers and give notes.
Confidence on the runway is rehearsed. What looks effortless in September was drilled in July.
Then come the test shoots: three looks, natural light, no retouch. The images build the book, but the real product is composure — learning to hold a pose, take direction, and reset between frames.
