Making his Paris Fashion Week debut, this 19-year-old engineering student from Mumbai walked for Dior in a cropped checked jacket, layered shirt and tailored trousers. Calling it “a huge milestone,” Yug told GQ, “Being trusted to walk for the house felt like a real honour. It reminded me why I started modelling in the first place.”

The 20-year-old filmmaking student from Mumbai embraced designer Rick Owens’ signature avant-garde aesthetic, wearing sculptural silhouettes with towering boots. Describing the experience, Abby said, “Everything felt intentional but still crazy... The boots completely changed my height, posture, and everything about how I carried myself.”
