Eighteen-year-old model Eliza Rutson (full name Eliza Scarlett Rutson Pang), who was born and raised in Hong Kong, was the hottest new face at the autumn/winter 2020 shows during Paris Fashion Week, which just ended.
The half-British, half-Chinese teenager walked at some of the top shows, including Off-White, Paco Rabanne, Altuzarra and Valentino, the latter of which saw her steal the show in a sheer gown in “Valentino red”.
Rutson, who is now based in Los Angeles, comes with some impressive fashion pedigree. Her mother is style maven Sarah Rutson, the former fashion director of Hong Kong-based department store Lane Crawford, and the former vice-president of global buying at online retailer Net-a-Porter.
Her father is Andrew Pang, a book author and an expert on the Japanese art of origami.
