One year ago, Texas-born model Ali Michael walked in Spring fashion shows in New York, Paris, London, and Milan, for a total of 31 shows.
Mom Mary Anne reported that casting directors for Paris Fashion Week cited a five-pound weight gain as a disqualifier, and that her legs were “too fat.”
Last week the model appeared on the Today show with Teen Vogue editor-in-chief Amy Astley to discuss with Ann Curry the industry’s impact on body image.
