With Hari Nef signed to IMG and Andreja Pejic making make-up modeling history, it's been a good year for transpeople in the fashion industry -- and it's about to get even better because there's now a trans-exclusive modeling agency in the game, dubbed Apple Model Management.
Originally founded in Thailand, Apple has just expanded to LA, where they've become the first modeling agency to launch a transgender division. "We see trans individuals as beautiful," agency director Cecilio Asuncion said. "But their full potential was never reached because of the stigma the community-at-large had towards the trans community. This has to change."
Asuncion, who also made the 2012 transwomen documentary What's The T?, went on to say that the agency's commitment lies in "developing them as successful models," rather than "quantifying or qualifying their gender."
"It's never a question of if they are women or men," Asuncion said. "It's about their passion and commitment to being the best possible models they can be."
As of press time, the agency has six signings, though they're currently casting.
I know nothing about the modeling business.
But, find it hard to believe that there is a great demand for trans whatever peoples to be models. A modeling agency just for them seems way out there doesn’t it????
Notice that they’re coming from Thailand. That’s the tell.
This thread is perfect without pictures.
Probably asking for a review of their smite.
THAILAND!?!?
Steve Jobs would sue them if he were still alive. Then maybe not...
They are a salty bunch.
Lemons——lemonaid. Somebody’s gonna cash in on it.
Mens pants with women’s blouses.
A super small minority are part of basically a freak show and expect people to not think it is odd and should in fact find them fascinating.
People like watching car accidents as well.
Women’s clothing, men’s packages.
Sure, they practice “aggressive tucking”, but you can’t tuck an Adams Apple or DNA.
ghastly looking group
Evidently, the degree to which the fashion industry currently mocks women isn’t enough.

Apple... as in Adam.....
I knew it hit a tipping point when a “trans” man was featured by a homosexual designer in a bridal show.
The homosexual male is attracted to the pre-pubescent male, which in fashion results in a standard that turns women into starved waifs. Now they seek de-masculinized men to fit that sick model, literally.
Man in a dress model? I suspect a lot of men would look like a man in a dress if they put on a dress. Been a long day.
Is Hari Nef’s nef still hairy? Inquiring minds don’t even want to know.
