Now that New York Fashion Week Spring 2019 has wrapped up and the clothes have been properly scrutinized, it’s time to talk numbers. Specifically, the number of runways models that walked this season in the Big Apple. Eleven catwalkers came out on top and seven of them were women of color. While some top performers are well-known in the modeling world, a few are still making names for themselves (but an appearance on this list might help their cause).
