Slay Model Management, the world's first trans-exclusive modeling agency based in Los Angeles, California, USA, announces the launch of its Asian operations with the opening of Manila-based Slay Models Asia last April 22. ManilaBulletin
Slay Model Management founder and director Cece Asuncion announced the appointments of Niccolo Cosme and Ben Bernabe as co-directors of Slay Models Asia, which will hold the license for the Slay Model Management brand not just in the Philippines but also for the whole Asian region.
“In the beginning of opening Slay, there were no opportunities for trans models. A lot of education had to happen, many awkward conversations, inter-community discourse, and the daily urge to school people on social media that trans is beautiful. However, our story is not one of strife or victimhood, it is one of resilience, success and the importance of vigilance,” Asuncion shares.
“The modeling agency business is all about trust and personal relationships; as a model, you have to trust your agent to help you build your business and protect your interests. It’s the same with opening a Slay Models agency in Manila for the Asian market. I trust that Niccolo and Ben will not only have the best interest of the Slay brand at heart, they will take good care of our models,” he adds.
