Calvin Klein, known for introducing new modelling stars to the world, including Kate Moss, Karlie Kloss and Kaia Gerber, brought another fresh face to New York Fashion Week for the debut of Raf Simons’s spring/summer 2018 collection; Dutch newcomer Alyssa Traoré.

Having turned heads in Europe last season walking for labels including Jacquemus, Schiaparelli and Marni, Traoré’s New York debut added to the buzz she’s been building since being scouted on the streets of Amsterdam when she was 16. Three years later, the young model, who recently landed her first major cover for women's magazine Dutch ELLE, is now getting ready to hit the catwalks at fashion weeks throughout September 2017.
