In the world of Fashion and modeling, the name, Alex Consani, is on everybody’s minds right now. As a trans model, she has become a spokesperson and role model for the LGBTQ+ community as she breaks normative standards. Alex’s transitioning journey began at a young age as she started transition once she reached puberty. However, she began wearing feminine clothing at four and changed her name to Alex at the age of eight.

Alex then broke out into the modeling industry at 12 years old, becoming the youngest transgender model in the world. Soon enough, at 16 years old, she signed with IMG Models and then eventually moved to New York when she turned 18. In 2021, she made her runway debut in New York with Tom Ford. Since then, she has modeled for a plethora of luxury brands such as Jean Paul Gaultier, Versace, Chanel, Celine, and many more.

Other than her strong presence in the fashion and modeling world, Alex has also gained attention due to her relatable personality. As a GenZ model, with an active online presence and who openly expresses herself, Alex has become a representative figure of her community. Even so, she does not comprise who she is herself, as she shows the world her true self.

Alex Consani’s presence on the runway is undeniable as she walked 17 shows alone this past Fashion Month. At only 21 years old, she has taken the luxury fashion industry by storm and continues to defy all expectations. For each show, she embodies a new character as she makes her way down the runway. Of course, each walk is strong in character, but they also vary with each theme. With every strut and sauntering walk, she exudes a confidence that shows off her incomparable personality.

For many, she has become a beacon of inspiration as she constantly stays true to herself. Despite working in an industry that many label as superficial and often uninclusive, Alex Consani is not afraid to push those boundaries. As a leading trans model, her ability to work and gain opportunities allows her to be the representation the LGBTQ+ community needs.

2024 was the year of Alex Consani as she became the first trans model to walk for Victoria’s Secret during their comeback show last autumn along with Valentina Sampaio. She was also named Model of The Year by the British Fashion Council during 2024’s British Fashion Awards. Being the first trans woman to receive that award, Consani has redefined the modeling world’s idea of trans people.

While she is pushing boundaries, Consani also continues to honor previous Trans people. People who have fought for the community that allows people, like herself, to be where they are now. Due to her hard work and constant transparency, she became a reminder of trans power, joy, and success.

Both on and off the runway, Alex’s personality breaks stereotypes of what a trans model should be and act like. Of course, with such scarcity in high fashion modeling, trans models are already rare. However, Alex strays from the typical polished and serious model demeanor as she is a mix of chaos and glamour. Her personality off the runway has attracted many fans as they often find her relatable and down to earth.

Off the runway and social media presence

Authenticity is often rare these days as social media and a perfectly curated social presence have become us. However, TikTok is the platform that, for the most part, garners a community where people can do and act as they please. Just like most Gen Z individuals right now, Alex Consani is fairly active on TikTok and social media. If you stumble across her TikTok account, you can often find videos where she is her raw and comedic unfiltered self.

In a world where everyone obsesses over presenting themselves perfectly, Alex Consani is a breath of fresh air. Of course, being Gen Z, just like the rest of us, Alex grew up with the internet, where she expresses herself freely. Most of her content, mainly on TikTok, features comedic videos where she shows off her personality. Refreshingly, Alex Consani does not hold back from the weird, cringe, or awkward personality as she embraces each proudly.

On TikTok, her unfiltered and ebullient persona shines through as she often posts funny rants, strange skits, or even random videos. Even though she is a high-profile model working in luxury fashion, she does not let that stop her from poking fun at some of the absurdities of the industry. Various videos of Alex pointing out or commenting on different runway makeup looks and designs brands put her in show viewers a real side to the modeling industry.

One thing about Alex Consani is that she is always keeping things real. Oftentimes, she does so as she talks about her experiences as a trans woman. However, instead of preaching about tragedies and resilience, she keeps her discussions real. With the current state of the world, transparity is necessary when discussing topics such as trans rights and identity. Of course, she mixes humor into her discussions, but she does not sugarcoat things and knows how to reach people on a personal level.

In various videos and interviews of Alex, she often addresses topics covering identity, being awkward, self-love, and how to deal with insecurities. Even though models often represent a standard of perfection, she avidly embraces imperfections and individuality. As an openly Trans model, she is the representation for our generation and future generations to look up to.

Trans people often struggle with identity and lack of representation in media and the fashion industry plays a large role in that. Her position in the luxury fashion industry has allowed her to be a changemaker in a world where trans people are often erased and tokenized. As a Trans woman who worked her way up to where she is now, Alex is a role model for young women and trans people all over. Of course, her journey is not over yet as she continues to reach new levels and set new standards as each day passes.
