The model proved the power of speaking up at Vogue’s Forces of Fashion summit.
Anok Yai’s career is a testament to the power of speaking up. The model—who last season walked for Hermès, Chanel, Mugler, Versace, and Tom Ford, to name a small selection—spoke at Vogue’s Forces of Fashion with Vogue Runway’s fashion news writer José Criales-Unzueta about her career and the ways in which she stood up for herself and forged her own path. Everything comes back to a piece of advice her agent gave her, which is “know that you are the business.
Saying no to harmful hairstyles came after Yai had what she describes as a “breakdown.” She recounts a harrowing story of a stylist who Youtubed a video of how to straighten natural hair while Yai was in the chair. “When I first started saying no, I was so scared. But what helped me is that I had a really strong team,” Yai says. Hilariously, Yai also developed a habit of telling designers which looks she wanted to wear for the shows.
