How is the 2017 issue championing inclusivity?
I’ve always wanted to change up the conversation of what the ideal of beauty is, and that has to begin with being more inclusive of different body types. The issue can definitely remain true to its roots and be really sexy, but we don’t have to let one specific body type define what’s sexy. This year we have the gymnasts, Simone [Biles] and Aly [Raisman], we have Serena Williams, we have Christie Brinkley. The point I want to try and make is that oftentimes for women, numbers define us — our age, our weight, our clothing size. That is not at all representative of a strong, powerful, beautiful woman. We can be a size 14 and be beautiful, we can be 63 and be beautiful, we can be 40 and be beautiful. Our bodies can be different from what they looked like last year and still be beautiful.
