How do you feel about what you read? Do you think there is room for different types of models on the runway? Why or why not? Do you think the runway at NYFW is a good place to bring awareness to global issues? Why or why not?

 I enjoyed reading the article immensely because it was inspiring to see somebody convert their struggles into something positive and great. I definitely think that there is plenty of room for other models on the runway. Beauty is subjective, and to have only one type of model is putting limitations and restraints on the fashion show. Integrating other types of models on the runway would also generate a newer and more diverse standard of beauty. Displaying global issues at NYFW would bring a lot of awareness and positivity to the dilemma itself. For example, acid burn survivor, Rashma Quershi walked NYFW to promote the ban of corrosive substances. This gained worldwide attention and spread awareness about the issue of acid attacks. The runway can be cultivated and used as a powerful tool to display not only beauty but world problems.
