In this week’s episode I sat down with Aariana Rose Philip. Aariana is a groundbreaking trans model from The Bronx, by way of Antigua and Barbuda, known for championing representation for disabled and trans women of color in fashion. Represented by Supreme New York, she has starred in global campaigns, graced major magazine covers including British Vogue, and continues to push for a more inclusive industry. We discuss how what many call inspirational, we call survival, where disabled bodies belong in fashion, how “fabulous” is defined and should be represented and much, much more.
