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 Fall/Winter 2021 show. While collaborating with industry trendsetters like Mert+Marcus, Jonathan Kaye, and Joshua Woods, Emily is also currently directing+producing a full-length documentary about families, childhood development, and human connection. Emily shines in Spring/Summer collections for Coach styled by Olivier Rizzo and Gabriela Hearst styled by Camilla Nickerson and recent editorials for V Magazine, WSJ and Office Magazine.
