Early Life

Rain Dove’s real name is Dove Dubilewski. Despite being a known model today, she actually had a belief that she wasn’t attractive with her bigger physique that made others refer to her as "Tranny Danny". Dove started studying at the University of California, Berkeley taking up genetic engineering and civil law.

During this time, she began showing herself as a man which many would believe because he already looked like it and entered the Colorado Firefighters with a male stage name and living with it for a year. By doing this, Dove realized that they were treated differently when dressed as a woman.

Modeling

Many are wondering why Dove entered modeling, and it actually started with a challenging nudge by a friend to present themselves as a man in a Calvin Klein casting for underwear. During the casting, just a pair of underwear was given out to them for the test shoot and when Dove showed up topless, the designer immediately grabbed a man’s shirt and said she should never tell anyone she was a woman.

When the show ended, Dove was sought by many people for modeling gigs. After three months, they grabbed the opportunity on their modeling career and have stunned the runway of New York fashion week on both men's and women's runways since then.
