Howard penned her memoir Misfit, which candidly tells her experiences of living with anorexia, bulimia and anxiety. She is also the founder of the All Woman Project, a charity which works with schools to educate about body image and mental health issues. Her 2018 novel, Splash, is a children’s story about a girl who dreams of being an Olympic swimmer. And, she is the owner of successful new skincare line, Squish Beauty.

Howard can now add “podcaster” to her resume, as she has just launched Fashion Fashion Fix on BBC Sounds. In the pod, the host examines diversity by retelling her own story and speaking with guests.

“Through this podcast, I’ve learned that there are people who are really trying to make an active difference. The industry has really come on so much since my post first caught people’s attention.

“A lot more brands are being called out if they’re not using models of colour or of different sizes. It’s just not acceptable to only use white, skinny female models. I met a girl called Mariah [Idrissi] who was the first model to do a campaign in a H&M hijab and discussed this with her.”

“And, because we now all have our smartphones, we can comment on pictures on social media if we don’t agree with something, so we can let the brands know. We’ve never had that space to interact with them and be vocal before. I talked about this when I met another model who made the Humans of Fashion app, which gives models the platform to have a voice. They can now speak up and say, ‘We don’t want to be sexually assaulted’ or, ‘We don’t want to be paid a year late’.”
