Apple Model Management is a Thai agency that deals entirely with transgender models that will soon be opening up a Los Angeles location. While the Thai division currently represents around 22 transgender models in Asia, the launch of the trans-only agency in LA will provide huge employment opportunities for both transgender men and women in the United States.

By opening this agency LA, this could mean that transgender models could be included in more of everything from runway shows to editorials and commercials.
