Ford Models Fashion

Having spent eight days in the trenches for what was Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Fall 2012 New York, it is illuminating to survey the delightful engagements of the past week. Not surprisingly the emerging picture is that of Ford Models conquering all and sundry to the tune of appearances by 82 different models in over 150 shows. Leading the runway appearances for the New York leg of the Fall 2012 women’s ready-to-wear season were Julia Nobis (Ford) and Kate King (Ford), both with 24 shows to their names. Another nine models either reached or broke the fifteen show mark including Andie Arthur (Ford) (15), Antonia Wesseloh (Ford) (18), Alana Zimmer (Ford) (16), Brenda Kranz (Ford) (16), Cora Emmanuel (Ford Women) (15), Erjona Ala (Ford) (19), Hanne Gaby (Ford) (21), Janice Alida (Ford) (18), and Lara Mullen (16). The week, however wasn’t simply about numbers, but the incredible collections that were presented by even more incredible Ford Models. Please click through the slide show of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Fall 2012 New York at the conclusion of this entry.  From all of us in New York, we’re signing off until Spring 2013…take it away, London!
