runway: LYNDSEY SCOTT


Lyndsey Scott is taking Europe by storm. After starting her spring 2010 run in New York at Vera Wang, DKNY, and Monique Lhuillier, she continues to land on major runways in London, Milan, and Paris. The 18-year-old — who first made headlines last season by being the first black model to score a Calvin Klein exclusive — booked Pringle of Scotland, Jaeger London, and Topshop Uniquein London, and appeared at Gucci, Blumarine, and Alberta Ferretti in Milan. And she wowed audiences at Prada by being the only black model to walk that show. The New Jersey native is in Paris right now sealing the deal on her rising-star status, already strutting at Giambattista Valli and Costume National, and even closing the Loewe show.
