Biography

Michael grew up and lived with her dad in Vetlanda, Sweden. She talks a lot about being bullied in school for being feminine and different. Michael stated that she lived as a girl her whole life but it was not until age 14 she told her dad she wanted to start hormone therapy and undergo surgery, and she says he was very supportive.

Modeling

Shortly after Michael went out as transgender she got scouted by several modeling agencies (such as Elite & MIM) and she moved to both Milan & Paris at age 15. She has worked with several companies in Sweden and other parts of Europe (mostly runway) such as Desigual, Balenciaga, Arte, Banana Republic, Filippa K, H&M, Lars Wallin, ATSKIN+, Attitude, Ida Sjöstedt, Minna Palmqvist, Kültur Magazine, Stockholm & London Fashion Week and Human Being Magazine. Michael also had a photo exhibition called "She got a dream" for Transgender Rights in which she posed nude in the pictures to celebrate her life as a woman. Shortly after she released her second photo exhibition "Transgender not transparent" with photographer Sandra Hila. During 2013 she took a break from modeling. Early 2015 Michael signed to Chaos Models Agency and was until July 2015 when she descided she did not wanna be involved with that agency anymore. Michael then signed with Apple Model Management in Bangkok, & Cabani Booking Model Agency in Germany. Michael is known as one of the youngest transgender models ever, since she started her career at age 14.

2016 - 2017

In 2016 she started working as a scout for genderless scouting agency, Oh My Management. Michael and her team exclusively scouted models to the agency and coached them into a modeling career.

Michael is also an active stylist and makeup artist working for magazines & fashion labels.

Transgender activist and lecturer

When Michael was 15 years old she got tired of all the bullying and preconceptions trans people had to go through. So she descided to give people more information by holding lectures at schools. Now she has held hundreds of lectures at schools, hospitals and at Pride parades all over Sweden & even Europe. Michael has also been seen in both British, German, French & Swedish television.
