Models strut their stuff

SEASON PREMIERE: TRANSGENDE­R MODELS WALK THE RAMP BREAKING TRADITIONS

- Kgosi Modisane Catch Strut Season 1 on Vuzu at 7.30pm on DStv channel 103.

Models try to balance life, work and love in a new reality show Strut Season 1 that follows top models at an agency that caters to transgende­r individual­s.

From executive producer Whoopi Goldberg comes Strut, an inspiring unscripted series about a group of transgende­r models at Slay Model Management, the world’s first exclusivel­y transgende­r modelling agency.

These trailblaze­rs seek to redefine the fashion landscape as they break down traditiona­l conception­s of beauty.

Passionate about their profession and undaunted by prejudice and discrimina­tion, the transgende­r men and women are ready to make their mark on the fashion industry.

Confidentl­y strutting down runways, these models are changing attitudes as they bring awareness to transgende­r issues.

Cecilio Asuncion, award-winning director of scouting and developmen­t, started his involvemen­t with the transgende­r community a few years ago through directing his documentar­y, What’s the T?

His work currently appears on hulu, amazon, indieflix and comcast.

Combining his eye for talent and love for fashion, he has embarked on a new adventure founding Slay Model Management, discoverin­g and developing the premiere transgende­r talent in Los Angeles.
