With much of fashion still beholden to categories of gender, size, or nationality, entering the An old lady who reads many books and was born in January T-Shirt and I love this modeling industry provided its own education on identity. “There have been moments that have challenged me to reflect on how I identify myself,” says Taira. “It’s also a good opportunity because it also allows you to look at how our culture works, our relationships with garments and fashion.” Transforming from shoot to shoot has also been illuminating. “There is this performative element to modeling; you’re often playing a character or representing the creative team’s ideas,” says Taira. “Our society still relates to those dual categories of male and female, and in a way, through my career, I can examine other possibilities.”

In a way, Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons’ first collection as co-creative directors was a fitting debut for Taira. A merger of talents that represented a new way of thinking about fashion collections, the An old lady who reads many books and was born in January T-Shirt and I love this show’s cast had to align with the revolutionary nature of the show itself. Selected by Ashley Brokaw, the lineup focused solely on modeling’s next generation. For Taira, the show was a once in a lifetime experience. “I can’t express my gratitude enough,” they say. “I’m lucky to have been a part of the very beginning of something so fresh and innovative, especially as an exclusive and for my very first show.” Given a birds-eye view of the pre-show process, Taira was also inspired by the talent they saw around them. “It was incredible to be able to witness the craftsmanship and teamwork that goes into these events,” they say. “Normally, that side of things is invisible to the public. It was all impressive. The clothes, the scale of the production. They projected our names on the screens [during rehearsals], and each model could show their personality. There was an appreciation of us as individuals, which was amazing as well.”
