TikTok star Emira D’Spain has made history as the first black transgender model to work with Victoria’s Secret.
Emira, popularly known on social media as XOXOEMIRA has produced a Valentine’s Day TikTok in collaboration with the lingerie brand.
According to the 25 years old Emira; “My entire platform is built on confidence and self-love.
“I want to empower young trans women and men around the world to show them that the beauty and fashion industries are changing. Especially if you are a person of color.
“I am so grateful to work with Victoria’s Secret and hope this paves the way for others after me.”
D’Spain gave credit to fellow model Valentina Sampaio for paving the way. In 2019, Sampaio became the first transgender model to work with Victoria’s Secret’s PINK line.
Emira D’s Spain was born in Dubai, and raised in Dallas. She is signed with Andrew Warren’s marketing agency, CollXab.
