Julia Bergshoeff, DNA NY
There seems to be little doubt that this Dutch stunner who debuted at Prada Menswear in June this year is going to have her moment this season.
valliaddict: “She's definitely got that 'it' factor. I'm almost positive she'll be a huge star.”
teaars: “It's almost painful how beautiful she is.”
Will she snag one of the coveted exclusives? Will she take all the cities by storm? Her star power is undeniable and we will certainly be keeping an eye on her.

Holly Rose Emery, Next
Seventeen-year-old Holly Rose from New Zealand is another one of those new faces who created some buzz after appearing in the Prada menswear Spring 2014 show, which led to a very successful Haute Couture season. We would be shocked if this classic beauty didn't end up being one of the top newcomers of the season.
“She's great, still quite young but she definitely has potential!” thinks Bamhutt.
“She's incredible. Simple as that,” declared youarearockstar.

Malaika Firth, Premier London
The inclusion of Malaika Firth in this slideshow is a no-brainer. The British beauty who’s of Kenyan, Ugandan, Seychellois, Swiss and British heritage is slated for big things after appearing in the Fall 2013 Prada campaign, the first black model to do so since Naomi Campbell in the 90s. Although she has been modeling for a while, she has not done a full Fashion Week season yet but is predicted to be the breakout star of Spring 2014.
“Definitely one of the most beautiful, breathtaking human beings I have ever laid my eyes upon,” gushed teaars.
“Hopefully she'll have a good future ahead of her. More diversity in this industry is definitely a step in the right direction,” mused fashionlover2001.

Fia Ljungström, IMG
Twenty-year-old Fia started out five years ago but had mostly been under the radar until she booked the Jil Sander Navy Spring 2013 Campaign and finally made her runway debut at Dries van Noten and went on to book several more prestigious shows (Christian Dior, Hèrmes, among others) in Paris last season. This Swedish stunner is set to take the runways by storm this season which will mark her first full Fashion Week.
Faith Akiyama: “Such nice presence on the runway.”
IncurableLunatic: “I find her gorgeous. I think she has a lot of potential.”

Khadija Otero, Next
Another striking new girl on Next’s roster who is set to make a splash is Khadija Otero. Khadija is a favorite of photographer duo Inez & Vinoodh, who shot her for the Fall 2013 Balmain and GAP campaigns as well as an editorial in V Magazine before she even set foot on an international runway.
dior_couture1245: “She is really, really, really gorgeous. Wow. She photographs like a dream. Her profile in the Balmain campaign....that is a model.”
teaars: “She is such a stunner and I love her androgyny and those deep brown eyes and her nose, she definitely is making some connections in all the right places."
Will Khadija show up on this season’s runways? Will she be kept exclusive or will we see her versatile beauty in every major designer’s show? Stay tuned.

April Tiplady, IMG
April, who was rumored to have booked an exclusive last season that fell through, is expected to walk a full Fashion Week season this time. With the support of photographer David Sims who shot April for editorials in Vogue Paris and LOVE, as well as the McQ ad campaign, she has made a lasting impression and should have no problems booking major shows this time around.
matsuchan92: “What a great discovery! Super striking.”
