America's Next Top Model and Prime time TV firsts!



The latest season of America's Next Top Model (ANTM) has started airing in the US. This season will feature a whole new line up of potential models including a transgendered model. Even though there are many transgendered models in the industry, having one featured on primetime TV is a first.

ANTM's resident judge and talented fashion photographer, Nigel Barker has this to say,
"One of the things about the fashion industry, is that there have been many transgender models over the years. It’s very legitimate in our industry. It’s a bit shocking for prime-time TV, but it opens peoples’ eyes.”
