Meet our VMEN from Malaysia.
@ttfga and
@hvdri knew the industry wasnât built for faces like theirs. Clients preferred foreign modelsâthose who fit neatly into outdated ideas of prestige.
So in 2019, they started
@topboicitizen ânot to fit in, but to make space. Now, their models walk the runways, front campaigns, and exist in the world exactly as they are.
For instance, thereâs Ridzman Zidaine (
@ridzm4n ), one of Malaysiaâs most successful international models, who recently opened for Louis Vuitton at Paris Fashion Week.
Itâs not just about representation; itâs about rewriting the script entirely. And if the industry wonât catch up fast enough, well, theyâll drag it there themselves.
Read their story at the link in bio.
