If there are two words on everyone’s lips in the fashion industry today, it’s ‘nepo’ and ‘babies’. Thanks to a dedicated cover story in the latest print issue of New York Magazine, you can almost hear the eyes roll as everyone digs into the feature and realizes that uh, yes, the faces of the day on the runways and on the billboards are all attached to a famous family tree. With that in mind, here are some names and faces in New York and beyond that made sure the public sat up and took notice this year.
Taylor Russell
Not only is Canadian actress Taylor Russell hailed as one of the cinematic forces of the year, but she has also become a true fashion icon. And we’re not just talking about the red carpet – she opened the Loewe runway, appeared in brand campaigns and graced the cover of an all-Loewe editorial for Dizzy, who has become the essential face of designer Jonathan Anderson and the brand’s global ambassador. From Schiaparelli to Alexander McQueen to vintage Vivienne Westwood, Russell and her stylist Ryan Hastings also know how to keep fans on their toes with high fashion gags.
Nikki Kynard
From black tie balls to downtown dance floors, there’s often a stylish DJ spinning the tunes to keep the party going. Nikki Kynard, who is often joined on decks by her other half Aku Orraca-Tetteh, manages to look like she just rolled off a runway while doing it too.
Naomi Akkie
Mark our words, Naomi Ackie’s star is about to go stratospheric. About to hit the big screens near you when Whitney Houston’s highly anticipated biopic I want to dance with someone hits theaters, this outspoken London native has both talent and taste aplenty.

Kate Bartlett
Fresh-faced newcomer Kate Bartlett has quickly racked up more than a million followers on TikTok thanks to her easy-going, camera-chatty nature, trend-setting video editing on the app, and innate personal style.

Austin Butler
Playing the lead role in Baz Luhrmann Elvis catapulted Austin Butler from “was there a time on Disney Channel?” familiar-named territory thanks to his acclaimed and perfect performance as king. Add in numerous connections from Celine’s VIP team for her red carpet looks and her inimitable ability to pull off all things black and fitted, and you’ve got one best-dressed device forever.
Simone Ashley
It’s been one hell of a year for Simone Ashley, who was launched into the spotlight thanks to her role in season two of Bridgerton this last spring. Working with super stylist Rebecca Corbin Murray helped propel the British actress to it girl status; one with elegant stamina.
Tina Leung
Stylist and influencer Tina Leung has been a regular on the fashion scene for a hot minute, but ever since she was announced as a cast member of the NYC spinoff empire bling, her profile, with the addition of her eye-catching mermaid turquoise hair, went through the roof. One thing’s for sure, we can’t wait (hope!) to see inside his closet when the show airs.
Jeremy Allen White (aka Carmy of the bear)
If you thought Prada/Bottega/Loewe logo-centric white tank tops were the most exciting singlets this year, think again. Jeremy Allen White’s punch during a performance as Carmy in FX the bear has made us all rethink the impact of a fresh white t-shirt as it (and its endearing alter ego) has become both an unexpected sex symbol and one of the most popular Halloween costumes of 2022. Yes sir !
Alva Claire
The resume of seasoned Brooklyn-born, London-born model Alva Claire would make any nepo babe blush. She’s been enlisted by Rihanna and Beyoncé for Savage X Fenty and IVY PARK campaigns and shows, walked in double-digit shows in the last fashion month, and is one of the very first plus-size models hired by Versace. One to watch!
Sadie sink
A beloved Gen Z girl next door who’s also a Chanel darling with both an insanely popular TV show under her belt and an appearance in one of the hottest movies of the year? Like Lucille Bluth in Development stopped would say; good for her! Stranger Things/The Whale actress Sadie Sink is going from strength to strength and despite being only 20 years old, her ongoing collaboration with stylist Molly Dickson is accelerating her high, elegant and ambitious personal style.
