I didnt grow up drawing runway models and deciding what they should wear.
I really don't think we should label models as 'plus' or 'runway.'
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.
There are great slender models, great tall models, Amazonian models, great busty models - my point is models of all shapes and sizes, age, ethnic background should be embraced and celebrated.
There shouldn't be one size when it comes to runway models.
With confidence, I think anyone can get a dress and make it their own. I don't think you should have it off the runway and wear it like they want you to wear it. You know, with their hair and makeup - their woman. I just think it's boring. You have to make it your own. That's what fashion is all about.
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.
You know, I'm still deciding what I'm going to be when I grow up.
Because I'm on the runway with some of the best models in the industry.
It's useless to send models out on the runway to cry.
Boys want to grow up to be like their male role models. And boys who grow up in homes with absent fathers search the hardest to figure out what it means to be male.
They keep coming up new all the time - things to perplex you, you know. You settle one question and there's another right after. There are so many things to be thought over and decided when you're beginning to grow up. It keeps me busy all the time thinking them over and deciding what's right. It's a serious thing to grow up, isn't it, Marilla?
I think Jennifer Lawrence is a brilliant role model for young girls, not some of the models that I see on the runway.
The only reason we make good role models is because you guys look up to athletes and we can influence you in positive ways. But the real role models should be your parents and teachers!
When I think of 'Instagram models,' I say you have to take baby steps. You cannot just walk straight onto the runway.
Don't wear excessive make-up as you grow older. Young women can wear whatever make-up they want, but if you are older, you will regret it.
