True style is truly timeless
The Model CoOp is proud to represent so many talented women who continue to bring both elegance and experience to Fashion Week’ shows around the world. Here we offer a snapshot of our stars as they shine on the runway.
PAT CLEVELAND
Pat Cleveland has been bringing her signature sashay to the runway for over 30 years, and she never disappoints. During her last stellar season, Pat walked in four significant shows in three cities. Hellessey and Naeem Khan during NYFW, Laura Biagiotti during Milan Fashion Week, and the Tommy x Zendaya show with Grace Jones and Zendaya during Paris Fashion Week.

“The only way to make couture alive today is to embrace different women’s identities and cultures... It’s about the idea of individualism”
HANNELORE KNUTS
Hannelore Knuts is a beauty and a chameleon, a quality that means she is always in demand during fashion week, both in NYC and in Europe. Over the last two seasons, she has walked for ready-to-wear designers such as Dries Van Noten and Ecklaus Latta, among others. Most recently she featured in Piccioli’s spectacular show for Valentino during Haute Couture Fashion Week in Paris.

Yasmin Le Bon always brings some rock-n-roll to the runway. Last season, she walked for Calvin Klein Collection’s Ready to Wear Spring/Summer 2019 fashion show during New York Fashion Week, followed by walking the celeb-packed L’Oréal Paris fashion event. Held on a 60-meter runway that floated on the Seine, the show featured contributions from the collections of numerous Paris-based designers.
