Early life and career

Alex Consani[4] was raised in the San Francisco Bay Area in California.[5] She is transgender and began wearing feminine clothing at age four before deciding on the name Alex at age eight and undergoing hormone replacement therapy during puberty.[6][4] She started modeling in early 2015 after her mother found an advertisement on Facebook for a Los Angeles-based modeling agency.[5][7] She became, at the time, the youngest transgender model in the world at age 12.[8]

In 2016, a profile on her in Cosmopolitan Germany went viral online.[5] She appeared in a photoshoot with Dominique Jackson at age 13.[9]

Consani signed with IMG Models in August 2019. She began posting absurd, Gen Z-focused comedic videos on TikTok in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic under the username captincroook, also using the moniker Miss Mawma, and gained over 700,000 followers by 2022.[7][10][3] She was included on GLAAD's 20 Under 20 list, which honors "outstanding young LGBTQ changemakers", for 2022, and walked in runways for Versace and Alexander McQueen during Fall/Winter 2022.[9]

Alyssa Morin of E! News called Consani "fashion's new it girl" in February 2023, while Vogue named her one of the standout models of Spring/Summer 2023, during which she walked in runways for Boss by Hugo Boss, Burberry, Chloé, Roberto Cavalli, and Coperni.[11][3] She will be the face of Jean Paul Gaultier's collaborative collection with London-based brand Knwls, which was released in September 2023.[12] Consani was the exclusive model for Conner Ives' S/S24 collection which was a collaboration with Depop called "Late Capitalism."[13]
