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.
