EMILY KASTEN

At 18, Emily Kasten moved from Arizona to Hawaii on a whim, where she learned to surf and worked as a zip line guide for a year before being scouted. She made her career debut in the Spring 2021 Gucci ready-to-wear campaign, shot by Glen Luchford, quickly followed by a central appearance in the Gucci Aria Campaign shot by Mert+ Marcus and styled by Jonathan Kaye. Emily shines in Spring/Summer collections for Coach styled by Olivier Rizzo and Gabriela Hearst styled by Camilla Nickerson and recent editorials for Purple Magazine, Modern Matter, Vogue Singapore, V and WSJ. With her youthful energy and buzz cut, Emily balances her soaring modeling career with her other passion: acting and directing - recently staring in her first Improv show and producing a full-length documentary about families, childhood development, and human connection.
