HuffPost
The 16-year-old made her Paris Fashion Week debut in March and has also appeared in an ad campaign for Valentino.
Just months after making her Paris Fashion Week debut, Kai Schreiber is speaking candidly about her aspirations as a young transgender woman in the fashion industry.
The 16-year-old daughter of actors Liev Schreiber and Naomi Watts told Interview magazine in a Q&A published this week that her dream early on was to be “a beautiful, glamorous, influential woman, like Marilyn [Monroe].”
“I want to be a supermodel. Period,” she told the outlet. “I’ve been practicing my walks in the kitchen for years; my mom can show you all the videos I forced her to film. Struggling with gender identity from a young age most likely had something to do with it.”
When asked about her role models, Kai Schreiber said she’s “always going to look up to the older generation of transgender people, especially in fashion,” naming actors Hari Nef (“Transparent”) and Hunter Schafer (“Euphoria”) as two of her current inspirations.
“It’s so great that there’s a strong community of us in the fashion world; it’s really a doll takeover,” she explained. “It’s important to all of us to have a sense of community, especially when we’re under such hostile attack.”
