Alexander Wang Model Isabella Emmack Works Hard, Relaxes Hard

The Wang favorite — and newest Spring 2016 campaign star — recommends boxing and a Mexican spa-cation.


Isabella Emmack

Like her fellow Alexander Wang breakout Katie Moore, Isabella Emmack understands the power of a standout ‘do: The 18-year-old model chopped her waist-length hair (with the help of hair-stylist-to-the-stars Guido Palau, who also made the cut for Moore) into a sleek pixie in November 2014, and has since walked in shows in Paris, Milan, and New York, ranging from Givenchy to Fendi to Rochas.

Amid that packed slate, she’s maintained a close relationship with the designer who discovered her; she’s walked in Alexander Wang shows every season since Fall 2015, and most recently appears in the brand’s Spring 2016 campaign alongside Cindy Crawford’s daughter Kaia Gerber and Anna Ewers. In short, she’s a key member of the #WangSquad. (#BalmainArmy, take note.) Her hair might be lower maintenance now, but her beauty tips are anything but basic. Here, she shares her workout tips, her dream spa-cation, and her beauty icon — a total classic.
