Gisele Bündchen Opens Up About Suicidal Thoughts in New Book (People)
In her new memoir Lessons: My Path to a Meaningful Life, supermodel Gisele Bündchen reveals that she has struggled with anxiety and even suicidal thoughts in the past.

Size diversity and LGBTQIA representation was up as well, increasing to 2.2% and 2.41% respectively. The Fashion Spot has yet to reveal its findings for London or Milan, but it will certainly be interesting to see if the momentum continues internationally.
