Modeling agencies are breaking the mold and redefining the standards of beauty, and IMG continues to support the change in the industry with its latest addition of 22-year-old transgender woman Hari Nef, who was recently signed on to the agency's international roster.
Nef, a Massachussetts native, has been added to a roster that's overflowing with celebs - Karlie Kloss, Gigi Hadid and Victoria's Secret model Gisele Bundchen, to name a few.
The model/actress/writer and recent Columbia University graduate walked her first womenswear show last year, and this spring, she opened New York fashion week on the VFiles catwalk wearing a "girl power" hoodie and walked for Hood By Air, The Guardian reported.
Nef is IMG's second transgender signee - the first being Valentijn De Hingh, but Nef is the only model who is signed globally.
"I can't verbalize how thrilled I am to be joining the @imgmodels family," Nef wrote on her Instagram to share with her 13,000 followers.
