"There is a lot of work to be done in terms of representation and diversity within fashion from behind-the-scenes, to of course, in front of the camera, from the CEOs to the designers, and all the way to entry-level whether it’s a new model or whoever is being hired.
"I also think that everyone in the fashion industry needs to take accountability so that real change can happen," she tells WWD.
