Alex Consani Becomes First Transgender Model of the Year at Fashion Awards
Alex Consani made history by becoming the first transgender model to win the Model of the Year award at the 2024 Fashion Awards in London. Fellow nominee Anok Yai congratulated Consani but expressed her exhaustion with the industry, stating she no longer desires the award. Consani's win is seen as a step towards inclusivity in modeling, as she acknowledged the contributions of Black transgender models in her acceptance speech. Both Consani and Yai have had successful years, participating in major fashion shows and campaigns.
