Biography
An artist with seemingly limitless energy and inspiration, India Menuez caught audiences' attention in fashion editorials, on performance art stages, and in film and TV. Born in New York City in 1994 to an artist and a fashion designer, Menuez had creative inklings almost as soon as they could hold a crayon. They helped found a creative collective called Lucky You while they were in high school as an outlet for young artists to explore acting, performance art, video art, and even dance. Menuez also interned at the fashion label Three As Four as a teenager, though their interest in fashion design faded as their passion for more avant garde art grew. They began modeling to support their artistic endeavors, starring in their first major fashion editorial in Harper's Bazaar in 2014. That same year, Menuez also appeared in the independent comedy/drama "Uncertain Terms" (2014). The following year, Menuez co-starred in a self-described "play-thing" they had written entitled "The World of Chibi Cherry" at Secret Project Robot in Brooklyn. While the semi-abstract piece attracted acclaim among fans of performance art, Menuez's prominence in mainstream pop culture climbed significantly in 2016, when they became a star of designer label Miu Miu's global campaign for its Spring collection. Later that same year, they played a supporting role in the Sundance hit "White Girl" (2016).
