The Fashion Spot forums include a very active community of model-loving members who love to follow the careers of their favorite faces. Spotting the new girls on the scene and tracking their ascent is a point of pride, and this season at New York Fashion Week, the 18-year-old native of Valenciennes, France, Marine Deleeuw, stood out from the crowd. A part of Ford Models’ arsenal of talent, Marine made her New York debut by opening the show at BCBG and stomping down a dozen other runways before the week was over. Here’s a look at some of her NYFW moments.
Marine opened the show at BCBG (the first show of NYFW), making her the first model on the catwalk, right out of the gate.
“Wow, such a strong presence! And a French girl, yeah!” clarissea posted.
“French girl from the North on the NYC runways, opening the first show of the season, how awesome!” Valentine27 exclaimed. “Indeed a strong presence on the runway,” she added.
