Zitat des Tages von Cameron Russell:
I don't think fashion is evil.
One of the biggest issues for me is campaign finance reform.
I think it's cooler when girls have favorite pieces of clothing rather than an entirely new wardrobe every few months.
Statistics show that diversity in the media is pretty dismal. Critical voices from women and people of color are missing from many important conversations.
I was bullied at school.
The real way I became a model is I won a genetic lottery, and I became the recipient of a legacy.
If I ever had needed to put together a CV, it would be quite short. Like many young people, I'd highlight my desire to work hard.
Becoming a model was very counter-culture for my background, which is hyper-liberal, academic and feminist.
My first day of high school, I wore brown boys' corduroys that my mom had sewn Sesame Street elastic into - they were my coolest pants - and a lime green Patagonia fleece that my mom found at Goodwill. I loved fleece.
If someone has the opportunity to become a model, I would say, 'Do it.'
A ton of little girls I talk to, they want to be actresses or singers or models.
Hard work is not why I have been successful as a model.
When I gave a talk at TEDx, I thought that if I did a good job, the video might go viral.
When I was 16, I definitely burned a couple of bridges by saying, 'I won't do this!' I was not diplomatic about it. I came to a fitting and was like, 'I don't wear fur; cancel this show!'
When you're looking through a magazine, you'd think every single person's a different person, but every third girl is actually the same girl in a different outfit and makeup.
Image is powerful, but image is also superficial.
In the history of the world, all five mass extinctions have been accompanied by massive climate change, so we are facing an incredibly serious threat. In fact, we are technically in the sixth mass extinction right now, and it is the first mass extinction being attributed to humans.
I always wanted to become president! When I was a kid, I was obsessed with politics.
My favorite outfit is baggy black corduroy pants and a baggy T-shirt.
Sometimes, great collaboration is hard to nurture online, so doing so offline is the way to go.
When I first lived in a model apartment... It was two bunk beds to a room, and the bathroom was constantly in use. I was bringing in Lucky Charms cereal, and one day an agent put a stop to that. She said, 'You're making all the girls fat.' They took it off our grocery order. That was the most dramatic thing that happened.
In 2007, a very inspired New York University Ph.D. student counted all the models on the runway, every single one that was hired, and of the 677 models that were hired, only 27, or less than four per cent, were non-white.
At the Big Bad Lab, we build participatory art and media platforms for causes, communities and organizations we care about.
Once you are a model, you do have to fly a million red-eye flights, and you do have to entertain a different client every single day.
I do get free stuff.
Usually, TED only invites the most accomplished and famous people in the world to give talks.
If you are ever wondering, 'If I have thinner thighs and shinier hair will I be happier?' you just need to meet a group of models because they have the thinnest thighs and the shiniest hair and the coolest clothes and they're the most physically insecure women on the planet.
I've had a few conversations with people who are horrified: who tell me my work is demeaning, is sexist, is negative.
It's going to sound ridiculous, but knowing how to pose, how to maintain a level of engagement and variation for a day of shooting, is actually a skill.
For the past few centuries, we have defined beauty as tall, slender figures, femininity and white skin.
I'm a dork!
Having a couple really great basics makes it easy to dress well every day.
