There are people with an explicit political bent complaining about people having political agendas while nominating stories with political agendas. Is it political to try to be diverse?

We are being accused that some models are anorexic. But we as fashion designers cannot be blamed, because you know, when I talk to women around the world, rich and poor and young and old and intellectual and not, what they want to be is skinny.
