Career

Blomqvist was scouted by Stockholm agency MIKAs at age 13, and began modeling at 15.[4] She debuted as a Prada exclusive,[lower-alpha 1] alongside models like Ali Stephens, in 2007.

Without doing New York Fashion Week, she went to London and Paris to model for Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Dries Van Noten, and Alexander McQueen.[6]

Blomqvist has appeared in advertisements for Jil Sander, BCBG Max Azria, Uniqlo, Vera Wang, Tory Burch, Belstaff, Banana Republic, Givenchy, Joe Fresh, Akris, Carven, Valentino, and Missoni. Her appearances on magazine covers include Elle Sweden and Numéro China, with editorials in Vogue Italia, Vogue Polska, Marie Claire, WSJ, Vogue Deutschland, Vogue Russia, Vogue España, i-D, British Harper's Bazaar, Jalouse, and Interview among others. In 2020, for Vogue Italia's September issue, she appeared on the 68th of 100 covers.[7]

In 2019, Blomqvist returned to Prada after a seven-year hiatus from the brand to close its spring 2020 fashion show and appears in the 2020 cruise campaign.[4] At models.com's 2019 Model of the Year Awards, Blomqvist received the industry's vote for "Comeback of the Year".[8] They also describe her as an "Industry Icon".[9]

In acting, she appeared in the Swedish film Sommarstället : The Summer House.[10]

Personal life

In 2014, Blomqvist married British model Jeremy Young, wearing Valentino, in Cold Spring, New York.[11] They have a son (b. 2016), and live in Brooklyn, New York.[12] She and her husband maintain part ownership in the restaurant Scarr's Pizza.[4]

You could mention the recent wins securing a Prada ad but she’s done that before too (add Valentino and Jil Sander to that copious mix too). You could bring up tears in Vogue Italia but the Swede has modeled for its pages time and time again. One thing is for sure - she’s the next generation of bonafide model stars.
