Alex Consani was crowned Model of the Year at the 2024 Fashion Awards in London on Dec. 2—a decision to which I can only respond with a resounding, "Well, yes!" As the first out transgender woman to win the award, her historic victory marked an important moment for the industry at large.
Hosted by the British Fashion Council, the annual ceremony considers the Model of the Year Award one of the evening's top honors. Created to spotlight "the global impact of a model who over the last 12 months has dominated the industry" and garnered "an influence that transcends the catwalk," the award's previous winners include Bella Hadid, Kaia Gerber, Naomi Campbell, Gigi Hadid, Cara Delevingne, Jourdan Dunn, Kate Moss, and most recently, 2023 recipient Paloma Elsesser.
