PS: What are your hopes for the future of the fashion industry?
KBB: I would love to see a fashion world that truly embraces diversity in all its forms, from race and ethnicity to body size, gender, and beyond. I hope to see inclusivity not as a trend but as an integral part of the industry's DNA, meaning more inclusive sizing, diverse models, and authentic representation at all levels of the industry, from designers to decision-makers. Ultimately, I hope the fashion industry becomes a powerful force for positive change, promoting acceptance, empowerment, and equality for everyone.
