Born in Texas and based in Los Angeles, Del Toro first gained national recognition as an international fashion model. She starred in a viral Carl’s Jr. commercial, walked runway shows during Miami Swim Week, and appeared in major publications like Maxim and Harper’s Bazaar.
Over recent years, Del Toro successfully transitioned her editorial portfolio into a digital powerhouse, attracting over 3.2 million combined followers across Instagram and TikTok. In 2023, she made her feature film debut in the romantic comedy At Midnight.
Expanding beyond modeling, she launched two design ventures: swimwear label Kaje Swim and home-and-lifestyle line Kaje Studio, recently releasing the brand’s Icons Collection.

The agency has steadily added digital talent across 2026, recently bringing on Jensen Adeyanju to accelerate his broadcast and lifestyle footprint, alongside top Indian podcaster Raj Shamani.
Takeaways
Kara Del Toro signing with WME reflects how modern models are evolving into full-fledged consumer brands. Del Toro has outgrown standard influencer marketing; she is running two independent product lines while commanding an audience that rivals legacy fashion magazines.
Moving from boutique management to a major agency gives her direct access to corporate licensing, broader retail distribution, and packaging opportunities across television and streaming.
With Mikayla Starrels steering her digital division, Del Toro is primed to convert social reach into long-term enterprise value.
Will WME’s corporate network help Kaje Swim and Kaje Studio break into major luxury department stores and retail chains? Could we see Del Toro collaborate on digital campaigns or co-branded products with other creators on WME’s digital roster?
