Radhika Nair, the first Indian woman to ever walk a Balenciaga catwalk, was scouted in Bangalore while still in university studying commerce and economics.

Nair's first foray into modelling was her Paris Fashion Week debut as an exclusive booking for Balenciaga's spring/summer 2017 presentation. Since then, the Indian-born model has moved to Peckham, and emerged as one of the most sought-after newcomers, clocking up appearances at Vetements, Miu Miu, Loewe, Etro, Mulberry and JW Anderson. More recently, the 25 year old was chosen as one of the faces of French fashion brand Chloé's spring/summer 2018 campaign, shot by Steven Meisel, alongside Rianne Van Rompaey, Fran Summers and Jing Wen.
