Lily Brant Makes Runway Debut at Alaïa Spring 2027 Show in Paris
Lily Brant, the daughter of model Stephanie Seymour and art collector Peter Brant, made her debut on the runway at Alaïa's spring 2027 show during Paris Fashion Week. A college student in St. Louis, she is pursuing studies in film and business, with a minor in psychology. To prepare, she practiced her runway walk in heels on a treadmill, often borrowing from her mother’s shoe collection. Her ties to the fashion house are strong; Seymour was a muse for Azzedine Alaïa, and Brant fondly recalls exploring the designer’s home as a child. At 13, she received a little black dress from Alaïa, which she still treasures. After interning at Alaïa for two summers, she enjoyed Parisian outings, including an Elizabeth Peyton exhibition and family dinners. On the day of the show, she wore a stylish trench and received enthusiastic support from her family in the audience. Brant's casual style features vintage T-shirts and bright colors, but she opts for Alaïa for special occasions. The show occurred last night, while her father was preparing for the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe horse race today.
