21-year-old Alex Consani has won 2024's Model of the Year at the British Fashion Council's Fashion Awards - but it's not her accolades for securing campaigns and runway shows with the likes of Victoria's Secret, Burberry, and Jacquemus that have got people talking.
The Californian-born New York local has also become the first transgender woman to ever be nominated, let alone go on to win the prestigious award.
Model of the Year "recognises the global impact of a model who, over the [past] 12 months, has dominated the industry, with an influence that transcends the catwalk" - and it's safe to say Consani has encapsulated exactly that.
With more than four million TikTok followers under her alias account, @captincroook, off the stage she's captured the hearts of people who previously had no interest in fashion and made it more accessible with her gritty, (and often NSFW) behind-the-scenes looks as one of the most in-demand models in the world.
Where supermodels past left much to the imagination with their stone faces and picture-perfect images, Consani, who doubles-up as an influencer, can often be found dancing in the Big Apple's subway stations, making questionable conversation in the streets with strangers, or chronically oversharing backstage at shows - with her signature bleached hair and brows in tow.

She also looks weird
This further fuels my agenda that the lizard people in charge are trying to normalize alien looking b-words, before they start replacing real people with

There are only two kinds of models: weird looking ones and walking coat hangers. The point of a model is to sell clothes, not to look hot - that's the job of a pornstar.

Modelling is about being a striking figure that fits a visual message.
She isn't ugly, she's fricking weird, like models are. There's a reason she's up there and you are not

Seeing her is like being struck in the face so you're wrong there
Nah ugly is something specific. Sick. Malformed. This is just very weird. Rough skin and witch noses don't sell. Ribbed lips don't sell. Bug-eyed taupe featured doesn't sell. Cellulite doesn't sell (as much as fatties wish it did). This does.
Penny couldn't do this. I never made it either. Takes more than being a freak to be a Victoria's Secret model.
Okay maybe that was uncalled for my b

Only because u never tried
Does it because of xer body though, or only because of the controversy around it?
Its fine bby you can abuse me anytime
Idk I do think shes pretty ugly. Not hideous, but definitly not good looking. 'Weird' also fits, but imo its ugly weird, though I cant put my finger on what specifically, the whole face is simply offputting.

You could make a controversy by putting up any hag, but they went with a Narnia witch instead. She prolly won due to the controversy (because that's what set her apart), but I think she made it up there on aesthetic merit.
Keep that up and I'll send you my folio

I can't imagine there is a single train that looks good without surgery unless they had some medical condition at birth.
