Career Advice She'd Give Her Younger Self: "I would just say, 'Relax and celebrate your individuality, your uniqueness. Try not to look like everyone else.' Because there's beauty in the things that, I guess at that time, I saw as flaws."
Why the Big-Name Brands Are Making a Difference: I'd like to congratulate different brands for showing different shapes, and honestly, if I'd had that when I was younger I don't think I would've felt so uneasy in my own swimwear. I would say again, celebrate your uniqueness. If we're all gonna stand in a line and we're all gonna wear the same swimsuit — we could even all be the same size, but our shapes are different, the way we carry ourselves is different, and there's beauty in every single person. There's beauty in the fact that we don't look the same. If we met each other and we looked the same, it would be quite boring."
Her First Fashion Job: It was for Cosmopolitan UK, and it was in Miami, and it was actually swim / beachwear. It wasn't bikinis, it was one-pieces and coverups and it was an incredible job. I was really nervous because it was my first job and it was such a big job. But the team was really amazing, and after that job, in my head I was like, 'I can do this. I can really do this.'"
