“#RunwayForAll means inspiring younger generations to say, ‘Hey, I can do that too!’” says model Dilone (@_dilone), who walked in the Kenzo (@kenzo) show at Paris Fashion Week on Tuesday. “There have always been diverse models,” she says, citing Naomi Campbell as a model who inspired her growing up. “The industry is just now recognizing how beautiful diversity is.” For Dilone, who remembers a time when she didn’t have enough money to ride the metro to castings, the secret to success is having faith in yourself. And keeping it fun. “I’m willing to look like a fool for the perfect shot or simply for a smile on someone’s face. I take my work seriously, but not myself.”
