FAITH JOHNSON Featured in INDUSTRY NY | CHANEL MÉTIERS D'ART - December 2025

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Last night, Matthieu Blazy unveiled his debut Métiers d’Art collection for Chanel in New York City. Set against the backdrop of the city’s subway, the cinematic presentation blended elevated craftsmanship with pop-culture influences, offering an intimate portrait of modern heroines, a love letter between Chanel and New York. With casting by Anita Bitton and the Establishment Casting team, the show featured four of Industry New York’s talents: Faith Johnson, Hejia Li, Linna Shi, and Yura Romaniuk.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________F    A    I    T    H        J    O    H    N    S    O    NBorn in Ikorodu, Lagos, Faith Johnson grew up in a close-knit family shaped by her mother’s extraordinary dedication—a teacher who often worked without pay to ensure her children could stay in school. Scouted at church, Faith began modeling soon after, embarking on what she describes as a life-changing journey. Her international career launched with a Prada debut, cast by Ashley Brokaw and styled by Olivier Rizzo, followed by eight additional runway appearances for houses including Alaïa, Celine, Chanel, Saint Laurent, and Hermès. Supported by key industry casting directors Anita Bitton, Julia Lange, Piergiorgio del Moro, and Samuel Ellis Scheinman, Faith was named one of models.com SS26 Breakout Stars. An introvert at heart, Faith enjoys reading, long walks in nature, and cooking. She hopes to take cooking classes in the cities she visits, learning to prepare local dishes and discovering something new with every trip.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________H    E    J    I    A        L    IHejia Li has quickly established herself as one of fashion’s most powerful new voices. Born in Wenzhou, she made her debut in the Spring/Summer 2024 season and instantly drew the industry’s attention with her commanding presence and effortless elegance. From early appearances for Proenza Schouler, Fendi, Versace, and Saint Laurent to major moments with Chanel and Louis Vuitton, Hejia has become a fixture on the world’s top runways. In under two years, she’s advanced from Hot List status to a coveted spot in the Top 50 models, fronting campaigns for Louis Vuitton, Bottega Veneta, Jacquemus, and Tom Ford. 2025 marks her strongest season yet: starring in Tory Burch’s FW25 campaign shot by Jamie Hawkesworth, TOD’S FW25 with Theo Wenner, and appearing on the cover of Vogue China August issue. She also walked Sarah Burton’s debut Givenchy collection and added Alexander McQueen and Chanel Haute Couture to her repertoire. With striking editorials for American Vogue, Acne Paper, and Self Service, and collaborations with iconic creatives like David Sims, Craig McDean, and Jamie Hawkesworth, her impressive trajectory and collaborations have solidified her place as one of the leading new Chinese faces in fashion today.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Y    U    R    A        R    O    M    A    N    I    U    K Yura Romaniuk has emerged as one of fashion’s most compelling new faces.

Since then, Yura has built an impressive portfolio, appearing in major campaigns such as Miu Miu FW 2025 (shot by Lengua), Gucci FW 2025 by Catherine Opie, and Zara 2025 by fashions photography legend Steven Meisel. On the runway, he continues to be a standout presence for houses including Saint Laurent, Marc Jacobs, Stella McCartney, Acne Studios, Moschino, Simone Rocha, and Coperni. Editorially, Yura’s work spans top-tier publications such as M Le Monde, The Face, Purple, and System Magazine, alongside recent covers for Vogue Korea, Vogue Ukraine, and Double Vision photographed by Luigi & Iango.
