In How I Got Here, Black and brown creatives explore how they worked their way to the top of the fashion industry. In conversation with Vogue, these editors, models, social media stars, and more reveal the unforgettable moment that would change their careers completely. How I Got Here offers (stylish) life lessons, in the artists’ own words.
First up, we spoke with Aaron Rose Philip. She made a name for herself as a Gen Z force in the modeling industry, walking the runways for Moschino and Collina Strada, as well as the cover of V and Paper magazine. Her portfolio is a showcase of what fearlessness and persistence can look like in fashion. In an industry that has historically excluded both trans and disabled people, Philip is blazing a trail. Here, she tells Vogue about how the busiest year of her life brought her to the forefront of the modeling world.
This year has probably been the most insane time of my life (in the best way). When I really started to focus on doing the things that I love, people started to really see me for myself.
It was January of this year, and I really didn’t know what would come my way. I ended up doing six covers across digital and print magazines. That was the turning point, after that everything started happening, and it blew my mind. February’s fashion week was more active for the first time since the pandemic began. I worked with Collina Strada and that was a huge moment for me. All of a sudden I was getting these big requests. The pandemic was still in full effect but things were still moving in the world of fashion.
