SAINT International models are everywhere in the ‘fashion-phere’. 

From Down Under and the Big Apple, to the Kingdom of Spain, the fresh-faced Sanique Dill and veterans Aurelie Giraud and Naki Depass are covering magazine covers and featured in splashy new brand advertising campaigns and top-tier designer lookbooks.

Depass makes face time on the new issue of BLANC magazine that dropped last Tuesday (June 17). 
Shot in Sydney, Australia, where she was on work assignments for multiple clients for the past three months, the glossy cover editorial is another crowning achievement in Depass’s nine-year international career.

A  wave of astonishment swept over seeing herself staring back.

“The job details I had received for the shoot day didn’t say ‘cover story’ so I had no idea. It was a very pleasant surprise,” she told Our Today of the fashion assignment lensed in April by Tim Ashton and styled by Monica Russell.

Depass’s seven-page BLANC cover editorial, titled ‘The Trace Between’ sees her rocking a mod beehive pixie by hairstylist Alan White, and wearing fresh fits from Prada, Fendi, Acne Studios, and a trove of other luxury labels.

“It was a bit different and I liked that,” came her assessment of the photo session. “The hair, the styling, the whole vibe allowed me to transform into a different character. We drove around to various spots in the neighbourhood where we were shooting.”

As to how she’s processing her second magazine cover —  the August 2023 edition of Harper’s Bazaar Brasil being her initial moment— the beauty who hold an accounting degree from the University of the West Indies, Mona said: “it will always feel so surreal and exciting to see yourself on a magazine’s front no matter how many times it may happen. But that Harper’s cover will forever hold a special place in my heart because it was the first.”

Besides her latest major get, Depass is also co-fronting Australian brand SABA’s Autumn/Winter 2025 womenswear collection campaign, lensed by Drew Wheeler back in March.

“The mood was mostly relaxed and called for a lot of natural movement,:” she explained of the SABA booking made by her Aussie agency, Chadwick Models, which had Jess Pecoraro coordinating wardrobe looks and Nadine Monley on double duty doing hair and makeup.

Meanwhile, hot on the heels of her DAZED solo-girl cover reveal just two weeks ago,  SAINT’s Sanique Dill is in the just-out lookbook campaign for iconic American designer Anna Sui’s Resort 2026 collection.

Titled ‘Neo-Romantic’, according to the designer, her new 30-look collection, was “inspired by the Belle Époque drawings of the late French artist and illustrator Christian Bérard and his painterly colour palettes.”

For Dill, currently the cat’s meow of the global fashion circuit, having caught the eyes and fresh ad campaigns for Valentino creative director Alessandro Michele and Miu Miu creative director Miuccia Prada, the ascendant star welcomed the chance to shoot Stateside.

Taking Our Today behind the scenes, she said of the New York-based photoshoot by Jeannie Sui Wonders that co-starred American model Ryleabeth: “Miss Sui is such a sweet, caring person. She was on set.”There was a vibrant mood and the experience was enjoyable for me.”

Dill was suitably impressed by the 17 outfit changes she’s captured sporting in the lookbook, noting, “I love how the collection blends vintage aesthetics with a fresh, youthful energy. My favourite outfit is Look 11 – the green spaghetti-strap dress.”

Over in Europe, SAINT’s Martiniquan head-turner Aurelie Giraud is appearing in British women’s wear brand Phase Eight’s ‘Summer Palette Masterclass’ campaign for their inventory of seasonal dresses. 

Giraud revealed to Our Today that her London agency, Premier Model Management, booked the job, which was photographed in Spain by Christian Hunter in March.

“It was my first time working with Phase Eight, and the team was fabulous. We went to several locations in Barcelona to shoot. It was great working with my model co-star Fanny Francois, she was so lovely,” Giraud said of her one-day session in front of the camera.

“I loved the dresses as they were colourful and I particularly liked the floral prints. It’s a great collection of summer party dresses that can work for weddings or brunches.” 

Calling Paris home for both herself and eight-year-old  Lou for the last two years, has mother-daughter travel plans in the making. “We will be going home to Martinique for the summer,” shared the Caribbean supermodel who has starred alongside A-list actress Zoe Kravitz in a YSL beauty campaign and strutted the catwalk for Balenciaga several times.
