TBT: Kendall Jenner, Karlie Kloss, Gigi Hadid, and More Major Models on their First Runways
Sure, we’re on a first name basis with Karlie, Cara, and Kendall now, but before they were major, they were just girls making their runway debut. As we prepare to dive into New York Fashion Week and see the below ladies in countless shows, let’s take a moment to throw it back and see when today’s social supermodels first stepped onto the style stage.
Karlie Kloss’s first runway: Calvin Klein, spring 2008, when she was 15.

Behati Prinsloo’s first runway: Max Azria Collection, fall 2006, when she was 16.
If you want to credit someone with discovering Kendall’s modeling mojo, let it be Sherri Hill, a designer who cast her several times in runway shows (sister Kylie walked too).
