“It’s time for real girls with real personalities to step forward,” Binx declared when she fronted the Dazed’s States of Independence issue earlier this year, repping America’s new wave of rebellious creatives. The motorbike-riding, football-playing Tennessee tomboy certainly has personality – fearless and outspoken, she’s leading the way for the next generation of models. This year she’s toughened up tweed in Chanel’s AW14 campaign and led Lagerfeld’s SS15 feminist protest – all with her signature devil may care attitude.
