She does not do that.
Everyone that follows fashion KNOWS why she's there. She does the opposite of "change" and "acceptance" with the background she comes from.
Models who bring true change and acceptance were regular girls who became mega famous in one's own right. They achieved celebrity on merit of being a sought after fashion model, not the other way around. Now it's sought after for being a celebrity either through social media, or nepotism.
However, girls such as Karlie, Jourdan, Joan, Liu etc have worked hard to achieve being known around the world. They are regular girls, from humble backgrounds, who had a good body of work even before people knew who they were. What makes women like Linda, Naomi, Christy, Gisele, Natalia, Lara etc etc so great is that they went from having limited opportunity, living normal lives, worrying about doing well in school, to having their lives change over night and now having all these great things happen, through hard work and being great models. And of course, they created discussions about feminity, sexuality, body, power & beauty. With the the likes of Gigi, i don't see it. She's not embraced by so many designers or photographers, she don't defined our era of fashion in terms of actual fashion. She ( kendell, Cara etc) are just fun girls who are having fun and taking all the opportunities to live their fun life. Modelling for them is as glamourous as any pages of Vogue.
Ahh.
