Packing for Paris Fashion Week with Alex Consani. The massively popular TikTok star–slash–model is doing all of Fashion Month with a carry-on.
I’m kind of slutty, so when I’m wearing clothes, I’m not wearing that much,” says the model Alex Consani, stuffing a bunch of miniskirts into a tiny carry-on. In a couple of hours, the 20-year-old is heading to Couture Week in Paris, and though she doesn’t know what time she boards, or what airport she’s flying out of, or whether she’s even walking in any of the shows yet, she doesn’t seem stressed out. It’s tempting to try to mother her.
In high school — she graduated in 2021 — she started TikToking as a “COVID hobby.” It took off. Before long, she had thousands, then hundreds of thousands of followers who love watching her, basically, be a hot mess. Consani’s best videos involve her being very loud and sort of annoying in very public spaces. In one, she rides the subway wearing almost nothing and screaming, “” In another, she belts out Rihanna’s “Where Have You Been” in front of startled onlookers along the sidewalk.
When I ask her what it’s like to really be a model, three years in, she tells me the main thing she’s learned is that “the more you work the more you realize it’s not as high echelon, upper echelon, as the internet and society make it seem.” And sometimes she wonders if her confident persona obfuscates the fact that she is still a 20-year-old living on her own for the first time, trying to figure out how to save her money and make friends.
