Breaking down the gender binary of the fashion world, stealing our hearts in the process. And yes, that is her real name.

Rain Dove turned plenty of heads at New York's Fashion Week as she walked the runway in both menswear and womenswear, but the strikingly handsome 6-foot-2 model doesn't really care what you think she has between her legs. "The gender thing doesn't exist; it's a social construct you don't have to fit into," Dove told BuzzFeed News.
Dove recently appeared in Cosmopolitan's "11 Women Who Are Redefining Beauty," but growing up on a rural farm in Vermont she often felt like "an ugly woman." Since her childhood, Dove has embraced her androgynous looks and now identifies as an agender model. "I model as male, female, and everything in between. I model as all genders. I model as a human being," she said in a recent interview. Before Dove walks in San Francisco's Queer Fashion Week, the model stopped by BuzzFeed New York to tell us about her future plans for complete fashion world domination.
