Once homeless in L.A. before stomping the runway for Yeezy and Fenty, this edgy beauty is on the verge of icon status with her recent casting in the 2018 Pirelli calendar. 9 / 18 10 Salem Mitchell Image Source: Getty / Stefanie Keenan Salem Mitchell became more than just Instagram famous when the San Diego native was signed by Ford Models and embraced by magazines and designers alike. 10 / 18 11 Sofia Mechetner Image Source: Getty / Frazer Harrison After becoming the face of Dior at 14 years old, this Israeli model continues to soar with moments on runways like Erdem x H&M and in Marc Jacobs's Daisy campaign alongside Kaia Gerber. 11 / 18 12 Nina Marker Image Source: Getty / Peter White While she left her mark (pun intended) on the runways of Jason Wu, Fendi, Lacoste, and Versace, this Danish superstar really made a statement on Instagram when she posted a selfie in September wearing a shirt reading: "Bee kind. I have Autism."
