Rocking the Runway
The Spring 2012 shows were a true turning point for the Dutch model. During the spring shows Marte Mei van Haaster walked for Givenchy, Chanel, Valentino, Alexander McQueen, Yves Saint Laurent, and even closed for Celine and opened for Acne. After walking on these prestigious runways, her status was instantly elevated.
At the end of Fashion Week season, van Haaster was asked what she learned from the experience… Her answer? She learned how to deal with disappointment and how to focus on the positive and be thrilled about the future.
Ad Star
