Zandwagon is a model management and talent casting company that represents and casts people who are breaking beauty standards in television, print, beauty, fashion and reality tv.

As we have become a world that is now embracing unique people rather than people who imitate or act the part, it only made sense to start a talent management company that could guide everyday life individuals who are breaking beauty standards daily. From the streets, subways, shared apartments, and sweaty clubs, Zandwagon’s mission is to not only provide jobs for our talent but to raise awareness and create harmony in a time of political eruption.

Kayvon Zand • Founder

Zandwagon was created by Iranian American Queer performance artist, nightlife personality and event curator Kayvon Zand. Starting as a teen model, Kayvon was dropped by major modeling agencies because he was a male wearing makeup to castings and shoots. After having moved to New York City, Kayvon started expressing himself as an artist at underground parties and art collectives where later he went on to be asked to bring his uniqueness to such publications as Italian Vanity Fair, Vogue, Interview, Paper, French Glamour and star in commercials for brands such as Volkswagen, WOM mobile and various television shows and programs.
