Samantha Harris on runway diversity and body-shamers

THE WEEKEND BRIEFING: 

Samantha Harris is one of Australia’s most recognisable fashion models. She shot to fame in her late teens after becoming a finalist in the Dolly magazine model search and was just the second Indigenous model to grace the cover of Vogue Australia in 2010.

Now Samantha is a diversity advocate, still walking on runways and workings as a World Vision ambassador.

She joins Jamila Rizvi to talk about the climate of Australia’s fashion industry, her response to body-shamers and where to from here for the fashion world.
