Growing up, I was called the ugly girl. Other kids called me the skeleton or asked why I had such plump lips or small eyes. They commented on my freckles and how lanky I was. I looked so different from the average Korean girl. But when I'd look in the mirror, all I saw was a face-one that wasn't particularly beautiful or ugly.

All of that changed when I went to an open casting with a friend and ended up getting my first modeling job. It brought out all of these different sides of my personality. To me, beauty is when a person is living and embodying their truth, no matter what that is.

TELFAR'S Timbs

THIS PAST SUMMER, Telfar Clemens marked the 20th anniversary of his namesake brand the way many designers do: with a blowout show. But Clemens's celebration didn't come with champagne; nor was it held in some impossible-to-get-to venue. He invited everyone to an alley behind his New York flagship store, where his cult-beloved Telfar Half Tank tops hung on clotheslines as family, friends, and megafans gathered, their Telfar shopping totes in hand, to witness a procession of shiny, circular-pocket cargoes, bodycon dresses with exposed seams, and loose, pastel-hued suits come down the runway.

When LAURA BROWN and KRISTINA O'NEILL were FIRED from their top-of-the-masthead FASHION jobs, they could have WALLOWED. They could have stayed QUIET. Instead, they OWNED IT. And now, they've WRITTEN the BOOK on it.

There was a chunk of time in the last decade when ambitious women were encouraged to lean in: to work later and harder and be better than their male counterparts—to do whatever they needed to do to get that seat at the table, regardless of whatever else might be going on in their life, including raising kids.
