Supermodel Alex Consani is closing out Pride Month with a powerful and playful bang. Them magazine just dropped the fourth and final cover of its Pride series, spotlighting the Gen Z icon as she takes questions from a star-studded panel of trailblazing trans voices. Dubbed “The Dolls,” this interview lineup includes Sasha Colby, Laverne Cox, Connie Fleming, Susan Stryker, Blizzy Mcguire, Ceyenne Doroshow, and Martine Gutierrez, and nothing is off the table.
From zombie apocalypse survival plans to systemic inequality, Consani is serving honesty, humor, and heart.
A Cover Story That Celebrates Community
Consani’s feature is part of Them’s month-long Pride celebration, which also includes covers starring Bella Ramsey, Tramell Tillman, and Alan Cumming, as well as an in-person WorldPride DC event with drag legend Sasha Colby.
In addition to its cover stories, the publication launched “Them Superlatives,” a cheeky high school yearbook-inspired tribute to queer excellence, with shoutouts from stars like Hayley Williams, Vico Ortiz, and even Ellie the Elephant.
But Consani’s cover feels particularly meaningful, not just because of her meteoric rise in fashion, but because of her commitment to community and advocacy.
On Trans Joy, Visibility, and the Fight Ahead
When asked by activist Ceyenne Doroshow about how to uplift the trans community during an increasingly hostile political era, Consani didn’t hold back.
“We are not politics. Our existence shouldn’t be political,” she said. “You don’t owe anybody shit. The only person you owe at the end of the day is yourself.”
She went on to emphasize that community, self-love, and education are vital tools in the face of hate, adding that respectful curiosity from outside the community can be powerful, if done with care.
“Ask the questions,” she said. “Because that could save a life.”
The Future Is Dolls
In a conversation with fashion icon Connie Fleming, Consani shared her vision for a more inclusive industry, one that celebrates the full spectrum of trans identities.
“I think the future is dolls,” she said. “Not just white, thin, able-bodied versions of our community, but all of us. That’s what’s fashionable to me.”
She described a recent runway moment, the show Mother, Daughter, Holy Spirit, as a moving example of how the trans community continues to create beauty and meaning in the face of adversity.
What’s Next for Alex?
While Sasha Colby asked what’s still on her bucket list, Consani revealed her ambitions beyond the catwalk.
“There are a lot of important industries that trans women need to break into,” she said. “I want to work on accessibility, and yeah, maybe philanthropy, big word, I know.”
As her star rises, she wants her impact to go deeper than runways and magazine covers.
Zombies, Boys, and Real Talk
The interview wasn’t all heavy topics. Internet personality Blizzy Mcguire wanted to know: What would Consani wear in a zombie apocalypse?
“Girl, a gun and some camo pants,” she quipped. “But also an escape plan, because that’s what the girls really need.”
When Laverne Cox got personal about dating as a trans woman in the spotlight, Consani kept it real.
“I’ve been active. I’ve been having my fun,” she laughed, noting that being publicly trans often brings complicated and sometimes fetishizing attention. “You never know people’s intentions.”
Still, she’s learning to embrace exploration and take up space on her own terms.
A Powerful Close to Pride
Consani’s conversation with historian Susan Stryker reflected on her Bay Area roots, highlighting the beauty of local activism in San Francisco despite its post-COVID transformation.
“Seeing San Francisco show up for No Kings Day really touched me,” she said. “That’s my community, and they showed up.”
It’s clear that for Consani, pride isn’t just a photoshoot, it’s a commitment to connection, courage, and continued conversation.
And with The Dolls by her side, she’s making sure those conversations are as dazzling as they are vital.
