For model Hunter McGrady, fashion month is about more than booking runway shows to stack her portfolio:
"I'm not even attending any events or any shows that are not inclusive."Author:Fawnia Soo HooPublish date:Sep 11, 2019For model Hunter McGrady, fashion month is about more than booking runway shows to stack her portfolio and networking with designers and industry power-brokers. The Los Angeles native, who started modeling as a young teen, has been redefining traditional media standards of beauty since she bucked her agency's size 00 standard at age 19.
"There were 4,000 online submissions and we narrowed them down to 10," she explains. "They just had incredible personalities and stories." After each fashion season, we all take stock and look back on progress made in inclusivity and diversity across the board, but it's slow. Where do you think we are right now and how do you want to help advance progress this season?
It's like DSW, they're bringing together people who are diverse — and truly diverse. Not just a token one person. You know, it's true diversity and you can see yourself in everybody who walks the runway.
