Summers was discovered at a MAC Cosmetics store; the next day she was signed by Storm Management.[3] She debuted at Christopher Kane in 2016 and walked for Chloé, J.W. Anderson, Louis Vuitton, Valentino, Fendi, Chanel, Dior, Givenchy, Prada (for whom she was an exclusive), Saint Laurent, Loewe, Céline, and Miu Miu.[4][5] She said watching shows like Ugly Betty and America's Next Top Model gave her a negative representation of the fashion industry culture and had initially discouraged her from pursuing modelling.[6] For her campaigns with Bottega Veneta, Versace, Calvin Klein, Prada, Valentino, Chloé, and Marc Jacobs, she was chosen as one of the "Top 50" models by models.com.[7]
