This is AWESOMENESS!!! Finally, there’s an agency that is truly setting their sights on being fully inclusive, catering to ALL the beautiful creatures out there, regardless of age, color, size, sexuality or gender identity. Founded by NYC nightlife super promoter Kayvon Zand, Zandwagon is a model management and specialty casting company that represents and casts people who are breaking beauty standards in television, print, beauty, fashion and reality TV… shaking up the norm, promoting anyone else who falls into a category of otherness.
So far, most of the talent represented by Zandwagon were initially discovered in the nightlife scene, including trans performer Buck Angel, singer/song writer/MTV Real World star AMMO, burlesque performer Anna Zand, Dandy of New York Patrick McDonald, super hot tatt model Nik Hampshire, club kid CT Hedden…visual artists Monarx, Marrshun, and Pisssy…and photogs Brian Brigantti and Morgan Stuart…and SOOO many more!

“I think what separates us from other agencies, model management groups, and talent management groups is that there is a heartbeat to this. It’s not just about making money. There is a goal to overcome something, which is the prejudice that a lot of these people may face on a regular basis. And the most common thing I’ve heard when talking to the talent we’ve signed has been, ‘This is a great idea. Why hasn’t this happened before?’ I think we’re all still kind of dumbfounded by that.
I think queer and sexuality are two different things. Queer is freedom. It’s openness. It’s real. And I think that’s what we want from society. We don’t want people to play dress-up anymore. We don’t want appropriation. We want the real deal.”
