When asked about her "role model" status, Kate answers carefully and well:
"I never imagined that I would be in a position to be a role model. I just focused on being healthy and being the best that I could be. I'm happy to be seen as a good example. If I can help and influence girls who are going through body-image issues then I think that's amazing."
I think this quote shows she knows how ridiculous it is for her, a slightly curvy model, to be made into some sort of role model of body acceptance, without coming off ungrateful for her career.
You've already seen the cover, but here it is again.

She also says it's "complicated for a model with boobs" to fit into sample sizes. Stupid sample sizes.
More on the topic of sample sizes:
"I'm sure every designer has a certain person in mind who they would ideally like to wear their clothes, but the problem is that a lot of the time that person doesn't actually exist, unless she is a 15-year-old model. I don't really have a personal opinion on whether they should change the sizes of samples or not, but I do think it's a topic that should be looked at, and I do think there won't be many women buying those clothes, if, size-wise, they don't seem realistic."
Word.
The obligatory bathing suit photo.
Is that a hint of her signature blonde I see?
Here is the church, and here is the steeple. Open it up, and see I'm a sucker for some nice, dark eyebrows.
