With the fashion industry slowly beginning to embrace diversity, there's one brand we'd be excited to see follow suit: Victoria's Secret. Plus-size model Tess Holliday has already said she'd love to walk the VS runway, and now Carmen Carrera, a transgender model and reality star, could be close to scoring a spot on the famous catwalk.
A Change.org petition in support of Carmen modeling for the company already has close to 50,000 signatures, and thanks to starring on shows like Couple's Therapy and RuPaul's Drag Race, appearing alongside Laverne Cox on Candy Magazine, and a role in Ricki and the Flash, the model's fanbase continues to expand. But why else would Carmen fit right in with all those wing-wearing It girls? Read on to find out.
