I was one of the first print models to go on the runway because I wanted to do runway. When I started doing the shows, I was the only print girl there.

Linda Evangelista

I remember in 2004, I had three gorgeous transgender models on the runway. That was my strength, in a way. That I did what I thought was gonna work, and I never paid attention to the industry's rules.

Betsey Johnson

I think Jennifer Lawrence is a brilliant role model for young girls, not some of the models that I see on the runway.

Karen Elson

I love 'Project Runway' because I can really be of help to an industry and I can be supportive to designers.

Nina Garcia

There shouldn't be one size when it comes to runway models.

Denise Bidot

Of course there are some models who are not good, but it has been proven that some models can act. Look at Kim Basinger, Sharon Stone or Andie MacDowell, who were all models - they are really fantastic actresses.

Claudia Schiffer

I think we, as a fasion industry, need to hold people accountable for their actions. I want people to realize that models have a voice, and a powerful one at that. I want all models to be treated with more respect because that's what we all want - basic respect and to not be treated like objects with no will. I hope that models can be more empowered to say 'no' or give their opinion without being labeled as difficult. Modeling should be a collaboration. If the makeup artist, photographer and stylist all contribute, why can't models?

Sara Sampaio

A girl's career today doesn't have the same kind of life span, whereas it used to be a collaboration and a partnership and it continued. Peter Lindbergh still uses girls - like, look at Amber Valetta - so there are some photographers that have relationships long-term with models. I also think that the industry can't support the amount of models that exist right now and therefore the relationships between photographers and models and even the clients is short lived.

In 2007, a very inspired New York University Ph.D. student counted all the models on the runway, every single one that was hired, and of the 677 models that were hired, only 27, or less than four per cent, were non-white.

Cameron Russell

It's useless to send models out on the runway to cry.

Sonia Rykiel

I really don't think we should label models as 'plus' or 'runway.'

Sara Sampaio

Social media has had a huge impact on the industry. Models now have voices. We are connected directly to millions of people, and we are no longer just pretty faces modeling clothes. This has allowed us to reach a broad audience. This platform for models to connect directly with their fans has started to shift the power dynamic in the industry, but there's still a long way to go. I think we are heading in the right direction, as more people start to see the value in inviting models in the creative and collaborative process.

Sara Sampaio

I didn't grow up drawing runway models and deciding what they should wear.

So to get back to being intimidated, yes, you get intimidated when you're on the runway with Naomi Campbell, who is the best runway model in the world.

Heidi Klum

When I think of 'Instagram models,' I say you have to take baby steps. You cannot just walk straight onto the runway.
