Back in September, the fashion world collectively lost their minds when a crew of OG supermodels reunited at Versace’s Spring 2018 show for a dazzling finale. So imagine the scene at Paris Fashion Week Men’s, when two of the most iconic names in fashion, Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell, walked down the same catwalk for the first time in years. Yup, it was major.

This wasn’t any ordinary fashion show: Moss and Campbell came together again to send off Kim Jones, who, after seven years at the helm of menswear at Louis Vuitton, presented his final collection in Paris. In matching monogrammed trench coats, they made a special, surprise finale appearance, reminiscent of that Versace moment from the fall. And while their ’90s runway appearances are the stuff (or struts?) of legends, the model duo proved they still have it—and can show the new generation a thing or two about how to dominate the catwalk.

While Campbell hasn’t been absent from Fashion Week lineups for long (she most recently walked a few shows during the Spring 2018 womenswear season), more time has passed since Moss made her way down the runway—in fact, this is her first official appearance since Louis Vuitton’s Fall 2013 presentation, five years ago, per Vogue. It’s been even longer since both Campbell and Moss appeared as part of the same show, though, despite basically running the circuit in the ’90s and early aughts, which makes this reunion all the more incredible.

The casting came from Jones himself, it seems. On Instagram, he shared backstage Polaroids of Campbell and Moss, explaining how their appearance at his final Louis Vuitton show “was really a thank you and reference to @themarcjacobs early 2000s Vuitton and the fact that he was the one that gave me the opportunity to be @louisvuitton”. (Jones ascended to the top menswear position at the company when Jacobs was its creative director.)

More than simply marking the end of Jones’ time at Louis Vuitton with a grand finale—really, there’s no better way to go out than with two legends wearing in your designs—casting Moss and Campbell makes a strong point about age inclusion on the runway: At 44 and 47 years old, respectively, they’re older than the majority of models we see cast in fashion shows and ad campaigns. Their continued presence in the industry confirms what we already knew: Models can kill it on the runway at any age.
