I feel like fashion is making steps toward diversity, but I think they could do more.
I think the responsibility lies with the fashion world as a collective. We have to demand more variety.
Styles be fat like Jackie Gleason, the rest be Art Carney.
Fashion is like food! Some people like sushi, others think hamburgers are divine! People like different things!
There will never be a chanel collection without black
Now is the most exciting time in fashion. Women are controlling their destiny now, the consumer is more knowledgeable, and I have to be better every single day.
It's incredible to see fashion starting to become more inclusive and diverse.
In New York City, you can walk down the street and see a girl in a trench who looks equally as cool as a girl wearing Lululemon. It's like you're watching models. You see a little of everything right by you.
Fashion is not beautiful, neither is it ugly. Why should it be either? Fashion is fashion.
Fashion design is so diverse. It does not have clear identities as before with Balenciaga, Chanel, Cardin, Courreges. Design is about being recognised without a label. Elegance alone is not sufficient.
I feel like British designers are having a real moment; there's a lot of freedom to be different, and I think that that's what so unique. There's no expectation of what you're going to see at London Fashion Week, and I think that's why you get such a mixed bag of sweets.
I'm giving curvy women a seat at a table that we've never been invited to before - a table with high-end fashion people who have never considered us beautiful.
I was dating a transvestite, and my mother said, "Marry him, you'll double your wardrobe."
I enjoy very traditional stuff, and I enjoy kind of outlandish stuff, and I just really like clothes. I always have.
What I don't like to see is when models of different races come in and out of fashion.
I never grew up seeing women that looked like me in magazines or on TV and didn't feel like I had a place in the world of fashion. I am honoured to be part of that change.
I think it's important to be diverse, and I hope we continue to see that as a trend in the fashion industry.
Muslim girls, we love fashion! Whether we wear the hijab or not - it's our choice - and it's time the industry took note. Finally, fashion stores are open to that idea.
I was very honoured to be awarded an OBE in 2016 for my services to diversity in the fashion industry.
I like to try all kinds of styles so it always challenges me and forces me to try to look different.
When I'm working in the real world with real women and we're shopping, we find that fashion seems to end when you get any larger than a size 12. How ridiculous is that?
I like me some Bape, you know. But I wear anything, to be honest. Adyn, Rick Owens, Givenchy, anything. I shop from everywhere.
What inspires me is what I see people wearing on the streets of the world from New York to London and beyond. I get my ideas and inspiration from pounding the pavement all over the world. Today, fashion is dictated by individual style. To me, the fashion of the future is anything that a young guy or girl feels good wearing as long as it's put together in the right way.
All the magazines contradict each other because it is so diverse. Know what you like, know what looks good on you and keep doing it, no reason to chase trends.
You see all races in music, and in dance and theatre, so why can't we see it in fashion?
