This Is Who’s Competing With Gigi And Bella Hadid For Model Of The Year

You saw her on the runway for the very first time this past Fashion Month, and she’s already earned enough industry accolades to receive her inaugural nomination for the British Fashion Council’s 2017 Fashion Awards. That’s right—Kaia Gerber, model prodigy and daughter of the legendary Cindy Crawford, is up against titleholder Gigi Hadid and her equally accomplished sister Bella for Model of the Year. It’s a major moment for the 16-year-old, who made her debut as an international fashion model, starting with Calvin Klein in New York and ending with a Chanel opener in Paris, a move that undeniably follows in her mother’s footsteps. She faces tough competition with Brit It girl Adwoa Aboah and Canadian beauty Winnie Harlow also in the running. We’re keeping tabs on these trendsetters—and regardless of who becomes the prestigious award’s recipient, we couldn’t be more pleased to see some diversity among this year’s roster.
