In this slideshow: Chanel Iman, Myf Shepherd

Maryna Linchuk, Anja Rubik, and Edita Vilkeviciute are a stylish triple threat at NYC's Fall 2009 shows. Here, they show off three versions of skinnies: slim black, metallic skintight, and stretch denim.

Raquel Zimmermann wears a poufy shirt backstage at the shows. Her quilted over-the-shoulder chain bag is right on-trend.

Edita Vilkeviciute redefines sophisticated style by giving the classic blazer-and-sweater combo a new twist with her leather and luxe knit look.

Caroline Ribeiro creates a cool downtown vibe by mixing fabric and textures in similar shades, from washed-out black to classic heather gray.

Estonian über supermodel Carmen Kass takes a break backstage in simple and comfy layered knits.

Chanel Iman jazzes up an all-black ensemble with a jaunty fedora, studded boots, and an accessory that's often part of her signature-style lexicon: a chain belt à la Chanel.

Myf Shepherd should not be surprised that we are loving her splattered and tattered jeans, which totally stand out from all the black stovepipe skinnies backstage at the shows.

Daria Strokous lends structure to a boxy sweater coat by cinching hers with a thick leather belt.

Anna Ford pays homage to the stylish maven featured on her shirt.

Anna Fussion keeps it casual in a sweet calico-print top.

Models and designers made genie pants cool this season...but can Hanne make '80s-inspired track pants the next big thing? We concede the bold blue and red Doc Martens do stand out in NYC's sea of black clothes.

Anya strikes a pose in the model must-have item of the year: a slim-fitting motorcycle jacket.

Goth lace-up boots? Check. Groovy broken-in moto jacket? Check. Great smile and attitude? Double check for Bianca.

Brooke brightens up backstage in a neon red skirt. Ultra-opaque tights are the perfect pairing for her daringly short hem.

Coco Rocha looks captivating in a capelike coat.

Danielle takes a break from the shows to model a breezy combo of a spring-inspired scarf and light trench. Her legwarmers (skinny, dark, and thin-ribbed) look more edgy than '80s.

Freja Beha Erichsen's shaggy rocker haircut is the perfect complement to her androgynous, laid-back street style.

Heidi Mount, who replaced Claudia Schiffer as the face of Chanel in 2009, evokes a futuristic street-style look with her pale gray skinnies and matching quilted booties.

Model unmatched: We're crushing on Iekeliene Stange's mix of a retro red-velvet topper and psychedelic cravat shirt.

Newcomer Irina K. has already been compared to Daria and Sasha. Keep an eye on Irina, as well as her relaxed, contemporary style. Here, she shows off a shearling with a modern shape and simple tees topped with mixed metal chains.
