After 76 runway shows and 36 presentations over 9 days, the glitz and glam of Paris Fashion Week came to a close last Tuesday, October 7.

In the midst of the multitude of Spring/Summer 2026 ready-to-wear collection reveals for luxury fashion houses and designer labels, SAINT International’s model nation stood tall in the French capital. 

The Deiwght Peters-managed sextet of sought-after walking mannequins Dru Campbell, Sanique Dill, Jessie Craig, Tomiwa, Kai Newman and Naki Depass were on the call sheets for a host of hot-ticket designer preview collections held in venues across the Parisian city.

From 18-year-old rising fashion star Campbell’s Look #11 turn for Dior’s new creative director Jonathan Anderson’s debut womenswear collection, to runway staple Depass’ return to designer Thom Browe’s catwalk for his extraterrestrial-themed co-ed Spring 2026 collection, SAINT’s contingent of Jamaican and African faces shone extra-bright in City of Lights.

“This was an exceptionally important and keenly watched show season,” SAINT’s chief executive officer Peters told Our Today in an interview over the weekend.

“There were a number of new creative director changes at several luxury fashion houses in Paris, including Jonathan Anderson at Dior and Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez at Loewe. Impressively, Dru booked and walked both shows just days apart.” 

In addition to her Dior and Loewe appearances, Peters shared that his red-hot star, who copped SAINT’s annual Female Fashion Face competition title back in 2023, also booked runway time for Balmain, Rabanne and Miu Miu collection shows.

Joining Campbell in the line-up of models for celebrated designer Miuccia Prada’s buzzworthy Miu Miu show last Monday were her Jamaican SAINT peers Sanique Dill and Jessie Craig. 

The trio made a repeat appearance for the Italian luxury fashion house’s runway, having previously walked in the Fall/Winter 2025 show in March.

For Dill, who currently co-stars in Valentino’s global Fall 2025 advertising campaign as well as the just-released Saks Fifth Avenue Fall campaign, the Waltham Park Road-raised high-fashion ingenue booked turns for Zomer, Grounds, and Casablanca.

Meanwhile, Craig was also in the cast for Casablanca designer Charaf Tajer’s new collection revealed on October 1 at the American Cathedral in Paris. She would also hit the catwalk for Australian brand Aje and the storied Carven fashion house founded by Marie-Louise Carven in 1945.

“I’m super-proud of the continued growth and repeat client interest in both Jessie and Sanique,” Peters shared with Our Today of his pair of stars, who, between them, have worked extensively for Miu Miu across multiple advertising and e-commerce campaigns.

“Sanique did Miu Miu’s L’Été Collection campaign that dropped in April, which was quickly followed by the Upcyced in May. Before that, Jessie started out the year out with her first-ever campaign for the Prelude collection that launched in January,” the SAINT head honcho disclosed.

Elsewhere during Paris Fashion Week, SAINT’s runway mainstays Depass, Tomiwa and Newman clocked in for duty.

Newman showed up in Look 20 for Swedish brand Acne Studios’ latest by its creative director Jonny Johansson, which was hosted beneath the 13th-century arched hallways of the Collège des Bernardins on the third day of preview collections showcase.

Tomiwa jetted in from New York for her bookings for Akris and Shiatzy Chen, the latter designer drawing inspiration from the 1970s era of music and culture in Taipei, Taiwan, for her ready-to-wear collection.

On the heels of her turns just days earlier for the brand-spanking-new Ferragamo and Bottega Veneta (where Neman also walked) collections at Milan Fashion Week, Depass landed on familiar territory in Paris and sauntered down the runway for both Issey Miyake and Thom Browne. Browne’s show was staged at the Hôtel Pozzo di Borgo, the former residence of  the late celebrated designer 

Karl Lagerfeld.

Offering his post-assessment of the latest fashion exploits of his agency’s stars, Peters was in a chipper mood. “There’s much to remain grateful for, and much to celebrate not just in Paris, but the entire Fashion Month,” he said. “Our Jamaican and Nigerian girls were a consistent presence across the fashion capitals and made consequential bookings for major and influential designers and fashion houses. SAINT remains a force to be reckoned with, and our stars continue shining bright in Paris and everywhere.”
