The Strut cast
Following a set of driven and determined models who are pursuing their passion of becoming household names across the world in fashion, they'll challenge the stereotypical ideals of gender and beauty, with Slay Model Management supporting them every step of the way - the world's first exclusively transgender modelling agency.
The series will provide a first-time behind-the-scenes look into the glamourous world of modelling as a transgender model, with viewers invited to join the eccentric and charismatic characters focused on throughout.

Goldberg said of the series: "This show is important right now, because for all of the positive advances the community has made and continues to make, transgender is still a hot-button word that gets people hysterical.
"People tend to focus on the stereotype instead of the person, and this series will give viewers a unique opportunity to spend time with real people who are struggling with the same challenges we all face as we make our way through the world.
"You may even be surprised to discover that you have been seeing and interacting with transgender men and women in ways you didn't even realise!"
Strut S1 available from today, 21st September only on hayu, reality on demand.
