As always, I am impressed when I see gorgeous diversity on the runways. It makes me feel like fashion is finally listening. So, yes, there were waifish, glam skeletors, but there were also toned, lithe, curvy, quirky and interesting faces of all ages, races and backgrounds. While I grew up always wanting to emulate the Kate Moss-types, I feel really thrilled that the clothes hangers are starting to look more like a well-edited version of our sidewalks. I’m happy to have gotten to a place where I feel great in my skin and confident in my fashion choices, regardless of what my scale says. On with the parade.
