On Monday, transgender actress and model Hari Nef — best known for her role as Tante Gittel on Amazon's Transparent — was one of a handful of women to walk the runway at the Gucci menswear show in Milan.

Despite being the first transgender model to ever walk for Gucci and the only transgender model in the show, Nef's inclusion did not feel like a gimmick. At Gucci, blurring the line between the masculine and the feminine is something of a house signature, so casting Nef made perfect sense. As a transgender model with an androgynous look, she is the very embodiment of the brand's gender-fluid spirit. She also looked damn good in her outfit.

Last year, Nef became the first transgender model to sign with IMG, the same modeling agency as Gisele Bündchen, Gigi Hadid, and Kate Moss. In an article Nef wrote for Lenny Letter, she described a conversation she had with IMG's president, Ivan Bart, before he signed her. According to Bart, IMG had met with transgender models in the past but passed on signing them when it became apparent that they were not interested in doing jobs that brought attention to their gender identities. They wanted to be seen as models, not transgender models.

Nef did not share their feelings. "Give me all those jobs," she told Bart. "I want to work."
