Watch my chat with the accomplished model Jess Lewis. She’s producing Straight Curve, a documentary about how “plus-size” models are challenging dated beauty standards in the fashion world. (It’s due out in September 2016.)

I sat down with Lewis recently to talk about the models who she feels epitomize health, why posing nude is always empowering for her, and most importantly, why people need to know that fashion is evolving thanks to the women changing the face of the industry.
