GUCCI CASTS FIRST TRANSGENDER MODEL,TRANSPARENT STAR HARI NEF

On Monday, transgender actress and model Hari Nef—best known for her role as Tante Gittel on Amazon's Transparent—was one of a handful of women to walk the runway at the Gucci menswear show in Milan.

Despite being the first transgender model to ever walk for Gucci and the only transgender model in the show, Nef's inclusion did not feel like a gimmick. At Gucci, blurring the line between the masculine and the feminine is something of a house signature, so casting Nef made perfect sense. As a transgender model with an androgynous look, she is the very embodiment of the brand's gender-fluid spirit. She also looked damn good in her outfit.
