“People think I'm androgynous?” Athena Wilson flippantly questions. Her short hair and oval features make her the poster girl for androgyny. Wilson’s cool-girl attitude stems from a childhood in Orange County with a diving coach dad and a peacekeeping mom. Her lucid intentions for modeling were revealed when she signed up for a quick hundred only to pay for a bike. When not modeling, she climbs water towers à la What’s Eating Gilbert Grape? (1993) and cites a grocery list of things that inspire her: “People clipping their fingernails on the subway, dog walkers, apple cores, broken umbrellas, notes left in used books…” A bit of a fey romantic, Wilson’s plans for the future are just as big a mystery as the arcane aura in which she basks. “I'd like to be doing something I’ve never done somewhere I’ve never been before.”
