Candice Huffine has been breaking barriers in the fashion industry ever since she inked her first contract at the ripe age of 15. Now 32 years young, the model and body-positivity advocate has posed for the Pirelli calendar, starred alongside Ashley Graham in campaigns for Lane Bryant, and appeared on the runways for Christian Siriano, Prabal Gurung, and Tome, to name just a few. Off-duty, the Williamsburg, Brooklyn, resident and marathon runner jogs with her dachshund, Jerry Brows. “I’ve lived in New York for 14 years, and there’s still so much I haven’t seen,” she says.

Here, Huffine shares her must-haves during the busiest season on the runways.
