Model and musician Karen Elson gets brutally honest about her journey in fashion, and what needs to change. In this interview, Elson talks candidly about the personal challenges she went through with body image and bullying in the press, and where she feels the fashion industry was complicit. She also talks about progress in models' rights and inclusivity, two major areas where the business is beginning to make strides.
