What Paris Fashion Week Really Looks Like, Through the Eyes of Model Sophie Koella
Last October, model Sophie Koella walked in her first fashion show. And not just any show: She was booked as an exclusive to open Natacha Ramsay-Levi‘s first fashion show for Chloé. Fast-forward a year, and Koella was back at Paris Fashion Week, walking for Chloé, of course, as well as Dior and Giambattista Valli. Here, a behind-the-scenes look at the model’s most recent Paris Fashion Week.
