Daisy Paige is a freckle-faced, 19-year-old model who is now exclusively signed with digitally focused celebrity, influencer and model agency Lipps LA—and this is news because Paige is the first 100% computer-generated model to be signed to a major international agency. Now, Lipps LA has expressed that it plans to represent more virtual human models in the future.
The CGI model was created by Los Angeles-based tech start-up Spark CGi, representing a unique fusion of technology, fashion and marketing that expressly appeals to Millennials and Gen Z.
While CGI models are now appearing on runways, campaigns, editorials and magazine covers, Daisy Paige being represented by a top American model agency invites even more change to come.
