With designer BFFs and all that fashion knowledge, who better to gather fashion inspo from, if not models?

These models don’t just look good on runways, but also on the streets – when they’re shopping, grabbing a coffee, or running errands! Here’s how to look ever fashion-ready, according to these fashionistas.

Sora Choi was the winner of Korea’s Next Top Model, Cycle 3. After the show, she went on to book international shows and editorials with names like Marc Jacobs and Prabal Gurung.  Just as successful off duty, Sora is a trendsetter with edgy-pretty monochromatic styles.

Wearing one colour from head to toe can look super chic and fashion forward. Take a cue from Sora and wear a matching lace and/or feminine top with a white bottom. Pair that with white sneakers (like Adidas Originals) for a perfect balance of feminine and sporty!

This enterprising model is also a stylist, writer, photographer, creative director, and student at The University of Sydney’s Law School. Talk about world domination. The beauty’s style is eclectic with a masculine-feminine edge.

A good way to experiment with the masculine-feminine style, is to try a boxy silhouette. Follow Zhang’s lead and layer structured blazers or coats over softer silhouettes like a blouse.

Time to take a trip to Zara or Monki to search for a structured jacket.

Liu Wen probably looks familiar, because her face is just about everywhere right now. The first ever East Asian model to walk the runways of Victoria’s Secret is just another notch on this model’s belt, besides major campaigns with H&M and Estee Lauder.
