I mean I was getting a little bit nervous today
mostly because up until 'Dancing With the Stars'
I'd never walked in a heel in my whole entire life.
I'm sure people are going to do a double take
as to why I have one blade and one shoe...
But they'll probably put two and two together quite quickly.
I mean this is my first runway show I've ever done.
I keep telling myself that "you dance in front of a million
people on TV you can walk a runway".
Just like one foot in front of the other.
I've always been attracted to beautiful things since I was a child
and I've always had this image of beauty in my mind right?
All the models that we always cast in our show,
they're always pretty amazing looking
girls and guys and all perfect.
and the last few years I've been really looking for like
characters for our shows like
individual people, people who are flawed
and people that aren't perfect.
Because I'm not perfect and none of us are right?
Yeah I mean I've spent my whole life being stared at
so it's something that I've gotten used to
and it's something that used to bother me but now
I've kind of realised people are just intrigued
and I kind of love that.
I'm not hiding behind anything
therefore people are just like
cool you know?
She carries herself like that, she's so confident,
and that to me is like more interesting.
I'm more inspired by that.
For me it's like the next step
in building this conversation on
diversity and body image and all these different things
that I want to talk about
and so to be walking in 'Stolen'
and closing the show
I was like "okay this is quite cool".
I think the diversity thing
mainly is a result of people just
yawning and being tired of seeing all this
over-curated perfection all of the time.
I'm tired of an over-edited life where everything is perfect.
There's so much diversity in this world
and I think the more of it we can incorporate in fashion
the better, because fashion is what people look up to right?
Like fashion is the trendsetter.
Every single person that's walking this catwalk
is different in some way.
I'm just the only one with one leg
which is kind of cool.
Diversity is just something that we are all hungry now for,
and it's about time.
