5. Casey Legler
The multi-talented Legler is a former Olympian (swimming), who also studied architecture and set design. She gave up a scholarship to law school, abandoned medical school and moved to New York to focus on her art, music, and writing.
In 2012, a photographer friend submitted pictures of her to Ford Models. She was immediately signed to the men’s division. This made the 6ft2 Legler the first female model to have a contract with Ford’s men’s division. Her athletic frame, razor-sharp cheekbones and trademark short back and sides allows the 36 year old to rock tailored suits with style and grace.
Legler is also an advocate for removing all gender labels.
