Dani States is a fashion model with a presence that is at once striking and effortlessly natural. With a signature combination of silver-grey hair and luminous green eyes, she brings a rare and compelling authenticity to every shoot. Rooted in the Pacific Northwest — one of North America's most creatively vibrant regions — Dani has cultivated a modeling career that crosses continents, representing both the spirit of the American West Coast and the refined standards of European fashion.
Dani is represented on the Classic division of METRO Models, Switzerland's largest model agency, headquartered in Zurich. Founded in 2010, METRO Models is a VSM-licensed agency with over 400 internationally relevant models spanning women's, men's, commercial, new face, curvy, and lifestyle divisions. Its clients include marketing directors, casting directors, photographers, and production companies across Switzerland, Germany, and the wider European market — booking talent for luxury, fashion, e-commerce, editorial, bridal, swimwear, and catalogue campaigns. Switzerland, as the headquarters of global luxury maisons including Cartier, Rolex, Omega, and Patek Philippe, offers METRO's models access to high-end campaign opportunities unavailable almost anywhere else in Europe. Dani's placement on the Classic board positions her squarely within this world of elevated, experience-driven fashion work.
The Classic division at METRO Models is home to models whose appeal is defined by character, sophistication, and a depth that goes beyond conventional fashion standards. Dani embodies this perfectly. Her grey hair — a salt-and-pepper blend worn with confidence and conviction — and her striking green eyes give her a visual identity that is both contemporary and timeless. In an industry increasingly recognising the commercial and editorial power of models who reflect the full spectrum of life, Dani represents exactly what modern modeling agencies and their clients are looking for: a face with story, authority, and presence.
METRO Models connects its talent with clients across luxury, fashion, e-commerce, editorial, bridal, swimwear, and catalogue categories. As a Classic model on their roster, Dani's portfolio reflects the breadth of professional modeling across both commercial and editorial contexts. The agency's booking table curates model profiles with career highlights and personality — ensuring that clients seeking a distinctive, mature, and authentic female model find exactly what they need in Dani's book.
Her work spans the kind of polished, considered imagery that characterises METRO's catalogue, where each model is presented not merely by statistics but by the full weight of their professional story. METRO's editorial network and long-standing client relationships place its models in campaigns and features that span the luxury, lifestyle, and fashion sectors of the Swiss and German-speaking European market.
Dani's grounding in the Pacific Northwest — a region celebrated for its independent spirit, natural landscapes, and counter-cultural creativity — informs the quiet confidence she brings to the camera. The Pacific Northwest has long been a home to boundary-pushing creative talent, and models who emerge from this part of the world often carry with them an unaffected, uncontrived quality that resonates strongly in both commercial and editorial modeling.
This authenticity translates seamlessly across markets. Whether working within the European luxury ecosystem she accesses through METRO Models or within the broader North American modeling landscape, Dani States offers clients a model whose look is distinctive, whose professionalism is evident, and whose image speaks to a growing global appetite for models whose beauty is rooted in reality.
In a market where model agencies are actively broadening the definition of beauty and commercial appeal, Dani States stands as a compelling example of what it means to model with intention. Her grey hair is not a concession to age — it is a statement. Her green eyes carry warmth and intelligence in equal measure. Her work in the Classic division of one of Europe's foremost model agencies is a testament to the ongoing evolution of what it means to be a professional model in the twenty-first century.
From the shores of the Pacific Northwest to the storied fashion corridors of Zurich, Dani States is a model whose time is very much now.
