Waifish Brazilian Maraschi first appeared on the Prada catwalk during the Fall menswear season, joining the boys and sporting a sailor hat not unlike those featured at today’s show. Since then she has continued to build a relationship with the Prada team, walking in Miu Miu’s Pre-Fall showing and, today, opening the main event. With her delicate features and retro shag, Maraschi was the perfect girl to channel the energy of Prada’s Fall collectsion.

Tennant, the Prada show’s supermodel representative, has been on the runway since before some of the exclusives were in diapers. Though she was a regular on the Prada catwalk during the ’90s and early aughts, it has been more than a decade since she last walked a show for the brand—her last appearance was back in Spring 2002.

Modeling back home in Brazil since 2011, Erthal broke São Paulo Fashion Week’s record for most shows walked in a single season. With that runway prowess on her résumé, she is set to conquer the European market. Snagging a Prada exclusive is a surefire way to move from unknown to in-demand in the course of a day, so expect to see plenty of Erthal come Paris.

Since winning the Paris final of Elite Model Look back in 2014, Abigail has been quietly building her profile with work for clients like Mango and See by Chloé, but Prada marks the French beauty’s big break. Only time will tell what the response will be from brands once Abigail hits her home turf during Paris Fashion Week, but with Prada fresh under her belt, her future looks bright.

Who needs two names these days? Baby-faced Ratner hails from Ukraine and has been on a roll since walking Miu Miu’s Pre-Fall show. Making waves during couture with stints at Chanel and Valentino, she comes to the Prada runway with a polish that most tween models lack. Given that she’s also appeared at Roberto Cavalli, she seems poised to hit up the remainder of Milan’s key shows.

Nurgaleeva’s distinctive beauty may call to mind stars like Yumi Lambert or Devon Aoki, but she’s her own model. First appearing on the catwalks during the Spring shows, she has used Fall to take her accomplishments one step further. In addition to Prada, the Russian beauty has managed to walk major shows like Rag & Bone, Coach, and Christopher Kane.

Back in January, Replica Hermes Bag Reviews.com predicted the year’s model comebacks, and Spanish stunner Perez, who’d taken a three-year absence from the runway, was at the top of the list. Happily, she has indeed resurfaced on the Prada catwalk, looking better than ever and giving the newcomers a run for their money.

How do you top a Burberry exclusive? By following it up with a Prada exclusive, naturally. Jamaican newcomer Depass may have walked only two shows, but what shows they were, and what an impression she made. At almost 6 feet tall, with sculpted cheekbones and strong brows, Depass is hard to miss, and her momentum may garner her one more power booking before the season is up.

If there was one theme that the show embraced, it was showcasing a new set of Brazilian beauties, and Ridolfi was one of several fresh Brazilian faces on the Prada catwalk. Already one of São Paulo Fashion Week’s success stories, she brought her classic look to Prada with grace.

Few models have as rich a history with this Italian house as Pivovarova. Back in the aughts, she was the face of everything Prada, from perfumes to handbags, and though she recently resumed her place in the label’s campaign imagery, it has been a while since Sasha P. delivered her famous strut on the Prada runway. Fall finds her back exactly where she belongs, looking perfect in head-to-toe Miuccia.
