” As a model, athlete and muse for innovators like Alexander McQueen and artist Matthew Barney, Aimee Mullins is one of fashion’s most accomplished talents.

Through determination, perseverance and outside of the box thinking, Aimee has distinguished herself; from appearances on the cover of Dazed & Confused, to walking down the McQueen runway in legs created by the designer himself. “

And she’s lovely. And brave. And admirable.
