"There is more variety. I feel like the traditional dictators of beauty, large corporations, have a certain kind of palette. They have decided what beauty is. The grip on that is loosening. You have social media influencing everything and kids on YouTube doing their makeup in their bedroom and their videos are going viral. Their aesthetics are completely different from a huge company in Europe. But people are responding to it. It’s becoming more democratic. And it’s becoming more diverse. There is a push to do something different, to do something challenging, that's not just about a pretty face anymore. Like the new America’s Next Top Model: you can’t just be a pretty face. There’s a good point in that. When I started out, it was very different. Models weren't expected to talk about anything. It was frowned upon to do interviews and much less activist stuff. But now it’s becoming important and expected of you to do so. Beauty is becoming more exploited."
