Sixteen year old Dutch model Romee Strijd is being touted as the next big thing following an impressive debut at the Spring/Summer 2012 collections. The DNA model left all in her wake with an exclusive show list which included Nina Ricci, Yves Saint Laurent, Louis Vuitton, Balmain, Celine, Hakaan, Alexander McQueen, Prada, Jil Sander and Burberry Prorsum. The 178 cm willowy newcomer appeared in a total of 16 shows and was recently listed by COACD and style.com as one of the Top Ten Newcomers for the Spring/Summer 2012 season.
Blessed with golden flaxen hair, bee stung lips and an immaculate complexion, it is Strijd's impeccable runway swagger which has industry pundits in a spin. With editorial appearances in British Vogue lensed by Daniel Jackson and Paolo Roversi as well as a slated appearance in Love shot by Solve Sundsbø, all signs are pointing towards Strijd becoming one of the defining models of the next generation. Strijd recently appeared at the Calvin Klein Pre-Fall presentation and looks set to implode during her first New York Fashion week come February.
