Molly Bair on Her Graduation Story- Off-the-Runway Accomplishment...

Graduating from high school is a major accomplishment for any teenager, but when you’ve been balancing schoolbooks with time spent on the runway for some of fashion’s premier designers, getting your diploma takes on a special significance.
Molly Bair has made a name for herself modeling for Proenza Schouler, Chanel, and Marc Jacobs, but up until recently Bair did double duty as a buzzed-about model and Pennsylvania honor student. Many models choose to eschew school once they begin working in fashion, but for the studious Bair, that was never an option. “I’m not going to say that starting my modeling career while still in high school was my best decision because of the extra responsibilities,” Bair tells Style.com, “but I definitely don’t regret it.” From the moment Bair debuted on Proenza Schouler’s Spring 2015 runway, her unique look became a talking point in modeling circles. With photographers, editors, and media outlets like CNN all focusing their attentions on her, Bair credits her classmates with keeping her grounded. “I think the best part was being able to go home after working in Europe or New York and just relax with my high school friends,” says Bair.
