After she opened in her very first show — Vionnet couture back in January 2014 — the Next-repped model has walked every season since. “When we are doing fashion week, we are all complaining like, ‘Ugh, this is killing me,’” said Witt of the common sentiment among models. “But then after three months, we are all like, ‘I miss fashion week!’ because it is really is exciting.” The 22-year-old redhead — a natural blonde — grew up in the south of Brazil but is actually of German ancestry. “My sister is 41 and my brother is 36; I was an accident,” she said with a laugh, explaining that her childhood consisted of playing sports like volleyball.
