Transgender model lands contract with top agency IMG

Hari Nef, 22, joins the same model agency as Gisele Bundchen and Gigi Hadid in move that promises to boost her fashion career

The 22-year-old actress and model, and recent Columbia graduate, was named one of New York’s rising stars in edgy publication Dazed Magazine and has since been voted Dazed Reader’s 100 list of today’s most influential fashion, film and music rebels.

Back in April Nef said: “I’ve been told so many times that my look and my attitude were ‘too edgy’ to appeal to big fashion clients.” However, having signed with one of the world's most influential agencies which looks after talent based in the US, London, Sydney and Paris, she’s got a promising fashion career ahead.

Nef shared the news with her more than 13,000 Instagram followers by posting a picture accompanied with the caption: “I can't verbalize how thrilled i am to be joining the @imgmodels family thanks are due to @ivanmbart for his generosity and vision.”
