It took a while to grow the confidence to say, 'This is who I am, take it or leave it.'

I am a girl, so I never looked at my dad's body and thought that's what I need to look like.

From a young age, my parents always told me and my sister how important it was as a girl to be more than just a pretty face and I think we've carried that message through out our lives.

Obviously from 12-years-old to 16-years-old, your body changes and that's nothing to be embarrassed about, but boy I was!

How can any person justify an aesthetic that reduces a woman or child to an emaciated skeleton? Is it art? Surely fashion's aesthetic should enhance and beautify the human form, not destroy it.

Every sweet, humble young model is only one campaign away from becoming a fashion monster.

I never plan tomorrow because I don’t even know what I’m doing today.
