The world’s fashion capital welcomed a liberal sprinkling of island flavour at Paris Fashion Week.

The Rock’s cadre of in-demand models featured prominently throughout the fall/winter 2026 ready-to-wear showcases, which culminated on Tuesday. The Deiwght Peters-managed SAINT International quartet of Sanique Dill, Dru Campbell, Jessie Craig and Naki Depass, along with Select Model Management-signed Romae Gordon, clocked runway time for the biggest names in the fashion industry.

On the shortlist of models drawn from across the globe, the Jamaican contingent glided the catwalks at Louis Vuitton, Miu Miu, Chanel, Zimmermann, Ottolinger, and more in Paris.

Speaking to Living moments after gracing the runway in Look 61 at Tuesday’s Miu Miu show, held at Palais d’Iéna, Craig was still euphoric.

It was her fourth time being booked by the Italian luxury fashion house.

“Doing runway is always a major adrenaline rush,” she shared about walking creative director Miuccia Prada’s 62-look collection, with actress Gillian Anderson closing the show immediately after Craig.

“Paris is actually my favourite city during fashion month, and Miu Miu was the first advertising campaign I ever did for their Prelude 2025 collection. So it’s always a great feeling to work with Mrs Prada [and] stylist Lotta [Volkova, the] casting director for the last two years.”

In the vein of Craig’s repeat engagement, others walked a similar path.

SAINT’s Campbell returned to the runway for a fifth time for both Louis Vuitton and Dior, and walked for Loewe for the fourth time, having first walked for the Spanish luxury house in March 2024.

And Romae Gordon made it a double for Chanel, having previously booked the French luxury house’s haute couture collection show two months ago.

Dill, meanwhile, proved the hardest-working Jamaican catwalker of the season, with seven shows altogether on her roster. The green-eyed, Afro-haired beauty landed shows for CFCL, Ottolinger, Kiko Kostadinov, Anrealage, Vaillant Studio, Cecilie Bahnsen and Julie Kegels.

Paris Fashion Week ran from March 2 to 10, featuring 67 ready-to-wear shows and 31 presentations.
