Both walked for Vetements in what was their international runway debut. Jayden has said he would like to continue developing a career as a model.
Stella Rose Gahan: more than a famous name
Not all the new faces come from Hollywood. Stella Rose Gahan, daughter of Depeche Mode vocalist Dave Gahan and actress Jennifer Sklias-Gahan, is represented by Ford Models. Her punk-inspired image has made her a regular in fashion editorials as she also develops a music career.
Fashion brands say they are no longer seeking only a famous surname, but profiles capable of connecting with a new generation of consumers who grew up watching their parents become icons.
