In 2015, she again walked shows during New York Fashion Week, including Adam Selman, VFiles, Vejas, Degen, and Eckhaus Latta once more.[12][13]

In May 2015, Nef was signed to IMG Models, making her the first openly transgender model signed to them.[14][15][16]

In the summer of 2015, Hari was cast in the second season of AmazonPrime's Transparent, which debuted in December 2015.[17] She also starred in The Drums' music video "There is Nothing Left" in August.[18]
