Gustav Magnar Witzøe solidified his status as fashion’s latest it-boy when he made his runway debut this New York Fashion Week. The rising star already has a fashion resume that includes attending last season’s Tom Ford runway show, attending the 2022 CFDA Fashion Awards, and being super-stylist Law Roach’s latest muse.

This season, he took his profile to the next level at CFDA Chairman Thom Browne’s highly-anticipated show with celebrities like Lil Nas X and Erykah Badu in the front row. It was no wonder for his debut, Witzøe felt the nerves kick in.

“I was pretty nervous and excited at the same time. It was my first international fashion show and I got to walk for one of my favorite designers,” said Witzøe.

In preparation for the big day, the model woke up early to make it to the gym before his 8:30 AM call time. “The glamming part took about three hours. It was long, but I was excited to see how his vision came to life and I was happy to be a small part of it!”.

As for the most difficult part? “The most challenging part for me was to walk in those clock hells on the sand. I was trying really hard not to fall”!

Luckily, Witzøe made it through without even a stumble.
