Ariel Nicholson launches Teen Vogue’s new video series The Lead Up, a project that captures moments before major life events – in this case, NYFW. She tapes herself the week before shows oscillating between castings, fittings, events, class and study sessions. In her video, she not only takes the viewer through her routines and the behind the scenes, but provides an insight into her experience in fashion and discusses prioritizing her mental health as a full time model and college student.
