What Models are Wearing Off-Duty This Fashion Week
London, Paris, Milan, you name it. We’ve seen our favorite models decked out in the finest looks all month long, in looks we can only dream of wearing ourselves. But what do these models wear off the runway?
I've curated a collection of 12 models, offering a glimpse into their individual styles amidst their busy schedules. From candid Instagram photo dumps to beautifully captured photography shots, let's see what fashion week’s models are wearing on the streets.

First, we have one of the top models of the moment and recently awarded Model of the Year, Alex Consani. Walking the streets of New York between shows, Consani is seen wearing loose, black, baggy pants, a beautiful navy knitted sweater, oversized black round sunglasses, and her most prized possession, her Birkin.
Anok Yai, another one of fashion's top models of the moment, is seen wearing an elevated, grunge, take on a sweat set. In this dark-wash purple sweat set, Yai elevates a casual sweat set look with the addition of accessories. She adds a large, oversized, furry hat, with a statement-studded black belt, and, of course, a Birkin.
Influencer-turned-model Cindy Kimberly is seen wearing a night out look, complete with bootleg-style leather pants, a black Prada purse, and a sherpa-cropped jacket, in between the Oh Polly runway show and New York Fashion Week’s desired after parties.
“Her shoes featured a towering block heel balanced by a thick front platform, cut in glossy black with a rounded toe. The exaggerated shape, paired with a slim ankle strap, recalled the “going-out” heels that stomped through after-hours clubs in the late 2000s and early 2010s — the era of American Apparel body-con minis, Jeffrey Campbell Litas and Cobrasnake flash photography. Moss carried the mood through her outfit, opting for an all-black look that sharpened the shoes’ impact. A strapless top with a sculpted neckline and sheer tights framed the platforms, while a small clutch kept the attention low to the ground.”. (WWD FN)
Musician, dancer, and model Gabbriette emulates her notable ’90s grunge style, seen strutting the streets of New York City in an all-black, gothic-esque look. In an interview with Elle Magazine, Gabbriette talks about her style and why she wears her iconic leather pants almost daily. Amidst her move to L.A., “the easiest thing for me to buy was the cheapest pair of leather pants from the thrift store, so that I could destroy them and wear them every single day,” (Elle Magazine).
Model and daughter of the Real Housewife, Lisa Rinna, Amelia Grey struts off the runway and onto Broadway in a lacy mini dress, a large brown fur coat, black furry heels, a gothic choker, and, of course, oversized round sunglasses.
While the nightlife scene was as alive as ever for the models this fashion week season, the day-to-day looks we have seen from these models typically include slim-fitting jeans, white or black tank tops, and minimal jewelry. Model Loli Bahia paired loose jeans with a plain white T-shirt, showcasing her tomboyish style, and accessorized the look with suede Adidas and a Prada Chore coat.
Photographer Melodie Jeng Captures the Best Street Style Looks NYFW’s Models are Wearing:
Model Daria Bakshi wears a loose cheetah skirt, paired with a graphic tee, a brown knit cardigan, and Golden Goose sneakers. The loose, patterned mid-length skirt styled with a graphic, baggy tee look is becoming more and more popular in streetwear, a creative way to dress down one of your favorite skirts.
Model Gabrielly Antunes is spotted wearing a classic “model off-duty” look with tight black jeans, loafers, a black V-neck top, and a black leather jacket. This timeless look is incredibly popular amongst models, and the leather jacket elevates a simple outfit.
Heather Diamond Strongarm embodies the “girl next door” style with her plain black tank top, dark-wash denim midi skirt, rounded black sunglasses, black ballet flats, and her Beats headphones, serving as an adorable accessory in this shot.
Top model Jordan Daniels wears a tan sweater set paired with a knit maxi skirt and a form-fitting cardigan, accessorized with pointed-toe kitten heels and a black purse. Sets are always a great way to maximize elegance while staying as comfortable as possible.
What doesn't scream fall more than a denim-on-denim set? Luna Yohannan wears a dark wash denim jacket with suede detailing, matching baggy jeans, sneakers, a plain white tee, and oversized, rounded sunglasses.
Mahalia Celeste Henderson brings retro back with her bold yellow and red bomber jacket and brown belt with a large gold buckle, and dresses it down with a plain white tank top, ripped jeans, and loafers.
If we've learned anything about streetwear this fashion week season, it's to find your favorite basics, style them with a mid-length skirt, and elevate them with a ballet flat, a kitten heel, or even a loafer. And don't forget your oversized round sunnies on the way out the door!
