All it takes is one fashion show to get a model noticed and working at a high level in her career. The moment of glory for Apollina Rocco Fohrer came on September 24. That evening, in the middle of Paris Fashion Week, the house of Saint Laurent presented its spring-summer 2025 show. Suddenly, a woman with golden hair appears on the podium, between two androgynous silhouettes. With his hands in his pockets in a black suit and tie, Apollina Rocco Fohrer, 1.78m, walks the catwalk with a retro hairdryer hiding his right eye. The mystery of this silhouette is accentuated by artist Sebastian’s electro soundtrack that echoes through the brand’s headquarters.

The house of Saint Laurent rises to third place with 4.03% traffic, not far behind Chloé (4.75%) and Miu Miu (4.93%). If, always by Tagwalk:Bella Hadid’s Saint Laurent look was the most watched Spring/Summer 2025 fashion week in all cities combined, no doubt the charisma of Apollina Rocco Forer also played a role in the success of the fashion show.
