Diversity in modeling is a reality. Every time more and more brands are embracing real beauty and selecting diverse people for their campaigns. Nowadays, there are many types of models that are breaking the industry standards, such as plus-size models, models with vitiligo, or tattoos. In this post, we’re going to talk about another popular type: androgynous models.
What is an androgynous model?
What does it mean exactly to be androgynous in the modeling industry? This term is often used to qualify models whose outward appearance is a combination of male and female traits and it’s usually difficult to define if they’re female or male. For this reason, androgynous models can work for female and male collections at the same time.
This type of modeling only refers to the models’ appearance, which means that these models can identify as female, male, or even non-binary.
Who are the top androgynous models?
Because of this diversity in the industry, brands are looking for people with unique and unconventional beauty. These are the top androgynous models at the moment.
