The Olympics ended last month, but the fashion Olympics (also known as New York Fashion Week) have just begun, and designers are calling in the athletes.
We've seen the "normal people as models" trend in fashion weeks past. Comedians, podcasters, and downtown socialites have cemented themselves as NYFW regulars over the past several years. They're still appearing in and around shows like Rachel Antonoff x Susan Alexandra and Collina Strada. But this year, women in sports are the hot new It Girls, taking over front rows and even some runway castings.
