Two transgender models unite to raise awareness in groundbreaking new Diesel collaboration
When trans people become visible in a positive way in the media, it becomes harder to dehumanize them and treat them as “the Dangerous Other”. This is why having transgender models may help the trans community as a whole.
From Andreja Pejic modeling for Reformation and Kenneth Cole to Hari Nef modeling for H&M and Camper x Eckhaus Latta, transgender models continue to make tremendous strides in the fashion industry.
To keep that momentum going, two transgender models, Benjamin Melzer and Loiza Lamers, have teamed up for a collaboration between the denim brand Diesel and the German clothing company About You.
“Transgender models Benjamin Melzer and Loiza Lamers were chosen because they perfectly support the brand’s attitude: free-spirited, against all odds and fresh young minds,” a Diesel spokesperson said.
