00:00Now I would love to get your take on the current state of diversity in fashion.

00:04On the September issues alone this year, there was a remarkable amount of women of color

00:08across all the fashion magazines, from Vogue to even Harper's Bazaar had Kanye West on

00:13the cover.

00:14What do you think of the strides fashion has made to being more inclusive?

00:17I might say it's about the time.

00:21Diversity is everything, there's a Murphy, white, black, orange.

00:26We should all have the same opportunity for sure.

00:28I think, especially it being September covers, is a big statement of change and I think obviously

00:36you can't take one step forward and ten steps back so I hope that this statement continues.

00:42It's awesome.

00:43Nicki Minaj was on the cover of Vogue Arabia in my gown and I think it's awesome and I

00:47think that's what it should be because we're trying to, I think fashion, we just need to

00:51support people.

00:52Who cares what you are, just support people.

00:55There's never enough diversity.

00:56I think until it's like 100% equality for everybody, nobody's ever going to be happy with that.

01:03And I think that we're making great strides but I mean there's so much more to be done.

01:09I think that's why I'm a Latina.

01:11This industry is very, it's not racist.

01:14I mean kind of racist with myself too and a lot of black people and most of my friends

01:20are black too.

01:21And it's just like, it's not the same.

01:23Like for the whole year, two covers is for black people but all the rest is like all white.

01:29And I was just like, seriously, well I'm very happy that these kind of things are changing,

01:33especially with Bazaar.

01:35It's like changing a lot now but I think we have like a long path to do until we get there.

01:40Like actually, equality, yes you know, so we have a long path to go.

01:47Yes, we have moved in the right direction.

01:51I remember discussing the subject of models and health and weight and models being too

01:57young, working 10 years ago.

02:00And we actually got to change a law in 2012 or 13 on the subject of underage models.

02:09That was a great step in the right direction.

02:12Now when it comes to diversity, now that it comes with different races, all of that,

02:17100% we can keep going.

02:20But in my career of span, have I seen a difference?

02:24Yes.

02:25Can we do way better?

02:26For sure.
