Fashion should be about making clothes that make all women look beautiful, not making women starve so that they can fit in a size 8.

This quote by Sophie Dahl highlights the importance of clothing that empowers all women, suggesting that the fashion industry should prioritize inclusivity and self-acceptance over unrealistic body standards.
