One of the biggest thrills of Fashion Month is seeing all of the new faces that emerge on the runways. We were delighted to see the return of many of our breakouts of seasons past, Angelina Kendall and Julez Smith among them.
This season introduced us to a swathe of new models who are quickly becoming runway pros. Even in their breakout seasons, new faces are already anchoring major shows: Stella Hanan opened Schiaparelli and closed Gucci, while Mia Armstrong kicked off the season strong at Ralph Lauren, and Sandra Murray finished off Versace on a high note.
Vogue’s most recent class of breakout models aren’t only strutting their stuff on the runway—they’re also booking major campaigns. Yar Aguer landed an impressive first campaign for Chloé’s famed fall 2024 collection, and Nyajuok Gatdet lent her face to Gucci.
Hailing from California to South Sudan and beyond, this group may come from all over the world, but they all have that same ‘It’ factor in common. Below, meet the breakout models of spring 2025.

is this year marking its 140th anniversary
Landini was founded by Giovanni Landini in 1884 in Fabbrico
The factory was initially set up to produce wine-making machines and was located 60km from the northern Italian city of Bologna
where the headquarters of Argo Tractors is still based today
Inspired by the 1900 World’s Fair in Paris
Landini successfully built the world’s fixed hot bulb engine a decade later
which was initially used by farmers for threshing and water pumping
Going on to forge more agricultural equipment
he built his first engine (two-stroke 12hp) in 1910
with the 30hp tractor entering mass production three years later
Argo builds tractors from 35hp to over 300hp
with 75% of the tractor value components internally manufactured
Landini developed 40hp and 50hp tractors which were introduced in the 1930s and early 1940s
followed by the 55-60hp L55 Landinetta in 1956
Landini began using Perkins three- and four-cylinder engines
Landini began manufacturing crawlers for Massey Ferguson
the manufacturer launched its line of 6500
7500 and 8500 series of two- and four-wheel tractors
the manufacturer launched its vineyard tractor
Massey Ferguson and Iseki sold a large share of the Landini company to the Argo group
Argo continued to invest in Landini and purchased the final shares of the company in the late 1990s
Landini entered a supply agreement and continued to supply tractors to AGCO
This year also marks the 30th anniversary of Landini's acquisition by the Morra family
combined with the subsequent addition of McCormick
Landini accounts for two thirds of Argo’s total production
Argo Tractors Ireland Ltd was launched at the FTMTA Farm Machinery Show in Punchestown Racecourse last July
It's understood further events to commemorate Landini’s landmark anniversary will be announced by Argo Tractors in the coming months
Argo Tractors has a production capacity to build over 22,000 tractors annually
making it one of the biggest players in the western world
Argo Tractors is the parent company behind Landini
The firm has a production capacity to build over 22,000 tractors annually
Argo distributes its tractors through a massive 2,500 dealers all over the world
The Fabbrico factory is Argo’s headquarters and main tractor assembly plant
the site is 130,000m2 with 60,000m2 of it under roof
the factory has a production capacity of 60 tractors each day
the R&D and engineering divisions are also located at the plant

The ARGO Group’s renewed focus on its Landini
McCormick and Valpadana tractors and the increased revenues generated last year have been welcomed by Ray Spinks
general manager and sales director at GB distributor AgriArgo UK
He also applauds the group’s investments in measures to strengthen the company’s industrial base last year - see FarmingUK story ’ARGO report increased profits’
"It shows that dispensing with the grain and grass harvesting interests to focus on core tractor products was the right thing to do," he says
"Investments in new technical facilities are evident at the Fabbrico headquarters plant and its satellite factories in Italy; new products have been launched; and an intense product development programme promises significant new introductions over the coming years."
Among the biggest technical facility investments is a new test centre for transmissions
engineer and manufacture in-house for tractors from 35hp to 160hp
can reproduce field operating conditions and subject transmissions on tractors up to 300hp to severe performance
Acquiring the EmmeGi tractor platform and cab manufacturing joint-venture last year gives ARGO Tractors full production and quality control of an important assembly
Capable of producing up to 50 cab frames a day
this specialist operation subjects all fully trimmed and equipped cabs to a computer-supervised test sequence to check instruments and electrical systems before they are transferred to the tractor assembly lines
the current programme has already yielded the new McCormick X60 Series tractors from 92hp to 121hp
which is proving a popular replacement for the venerable CX Series
and the McCormick X70 Series (along with its Landini 7 Series counterpart) launched at Grassland UK
the Cereals Event and the Royal Highland Show
The X70 is the first of several new tractors in the pipeline that embrace more sophisticated engine technology to improve field performance and fuel economy while meeting latest exhaust emissions requirements
ARGO Tractors has confirmed it will continue with the current policy of sourcing the most suitable engines from different manufacturers: Yanmar and Perkins for three- and four-cylinder engines up to 110hp with exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) providing the core emissions control technology; and FPT Industrial for six-cylinder units from 150hp using selective catalytic reduction (SCR)
ARGO will source the engines and emissions technology it considers most appropriate
The product development programme will also yield new transmission introductions
uprated hydraulic systems and increased availability of axle and cab suspension to further enhance productivity
"We have had a very positive response to the McCormick X60 Series introduction with some dealers comfortably exceeding their CX sales," says Ray Spinks
"The on-going development of this model and others in the ARGO Tractors range will be welcomed by end users and our dealers."

400 euro fine to Castelfranco for insults by fans to the referee and throwing a bottle of water followed by spitting at the referee.
Argo Tractors is the parent company behind the Landini
and has a production capacity to build over 22,000 tractors annually
Argo distributes its tractors through 2,500 dealers all over the world
Argo Tractors is owned by the Morra family
Initially starting out building agricultural implements
over time the company has come to acquire the three tractor brands
Argo’s main business is Landini and McCormick
while Valpadana is small specialised tractors which are mainly built for the Italian market
Both Landini and McCormick are both assembled together on the same production lines
often appearing as every second tractor on the line
we visited Argo’s manufacturing facility at Fabbrico
This is in fact the very same location where blacksmith Giovanni Landini began his business
he was the pioneer behind the Landini tractor brand – but more about that later
The Fabbrico facility is Argo’s headquarters and main tractor assembly plant
the site is 130,000m2 with 60,000m2 (14.8 acres) of it under roof
The McCormick on the left is awaiting a bonnett badge
while the tractor on the right is awaiting roof worklights
it was interesting to see that both Landini and McCormick are assembled together on the same production lines
The only difference between the brands is cosmetic
the widely spoken of supply chain issues and component shortages became a reality
all of which were waiting on certain components for completion
“Our strategy is to be tractor specialists
“We want our dealers to continue to have the freedom to sell whatever implements they choose and work best for them in their area
“We are a family company with a very short chain of command
we pride ourselves in being responsive and make decisions quickly
but this is growing and we have big plans with our higher horsepower tractors
starting with the launch of a new 130hp to 150hp range with an in-house-designed transmission in early 2022.”
Argo has capacity to build 120 cabs each day
they said: “We see potential with electrification and are looking at introducing a family of specialised hybrid tractors in the near future
“Because we are tractor specialists and we want to have the best
We will adopt when our suppliers develop a solution.”
“In terms of the supply chain issues highlighted above
the duo said: “You visited the factory at a time when the number of tractors that don’t make it off the production line fully finished is much higher than normal
Argo processes 600,000 parts orders each year
“Supply chain issues are present everywhere but there are signs of things starting to improve
“We are lucky that we build a lot of our own components ourselves
but with specialised outsourced components
it has been a daily struggle with component suppliers.”
This Landini is awaiting a bonnet for completion
Landini accounts for two-thirds of Argo’s total production
The McCormick brand can be traced to the 1830s in the US when Cyrus Hall McCormick set up the McCormick Harvesting Machine Company
the McCormick Harvesting Machine Company merged with the Deering Harvester Company to form the International Harvester Company (IHC)
Tractor production started in 1906 and the company set up the International Harvester Company of Great Britain
the company purchased the site at Doncaster in England
The McCormick-Deering tractors were renamed to just McCormick
the tractors were later renamed International
starting with the launch of a new 130-150hp range with a new in-house designed transmission in early 2022”
International Harvester later sold off its Ag division in 1985 and renamed the company
The agricultural division was sold to Case
and combined to form the Case IH tractor division
Case IH decided to merge with New Holland to form CNH
it’s understood Case IH was forced to sell some of its assets and production capacity
the McCormick Tractors International Ltd company was established in 2000
The initial assets of McCormick were the Case IH tractor manufacturing plant in Doncaster and the rights to the Case IH ranges; C
Case IH sold the Versatile brand in Canada to Buhler industries
explained Simone Morro from the board of directors
Argo acquired the Doncaster plant and formed today’s McCormick business as we know it at the beginning of 2001
which was the headquarters of the McCormick brand
All McCormick tractor production was then subsequently moved to the site we visited at Fabbrico
This McCormick is awaiting a side grill for completion
Figures from the Irish Bulletin of Vehicle and Driver Statistics show there are 2,954 Landini tractors taxed on our roads
with it being the seventh most popular brand in Ireland
accounting for 3.75% of all Irish tractors
Argo builds tractors from 35hp to over 300hp with 75% of the tractor value components internally manufactured
The report shows that there are 1,024 McCormick tractors currently taxed on our roads
meaning the brand is in 13th position and accounts for 1.30% of all Irish tractors
According to UK and Ireland business development manager Ben Agar
Argo Tractors has big plans to expand its share in both markets
“The island of Ireland is a very important market for us
We have invested in Ireland by recently announcing extra staff on the ground
“We are looking at further dealer appointments next year and will be working even closer with our existing dealers – all family-run businesses
and will offer a complete range of updated machines for 2022 including a new 120-150hp tractor range.”
