These moments made us celebrate a more realistic and diverse standard of beauty in the fashion industry.

1. This underwear designer cast only transgender models at his New York Fashion Week show

4. A model wore a breast pump down the runway at London Fashion Week

5. We don't have to hide our roots

These natural hair looks from New York Fashion Week are amazing - and easy to do at home too

6. Major modelling agencies are hiring deaf models

7. Some models give others a bad name though

8. But some celebs continue the fight against double standards
