Ashley Canino was thirteen when she appeared in Teen People. Modelling a pair of very low-rise corduroys, Ashley was part of a fashion editorial called 'Fashion for Every Body'. From "busty" to "boyish", each model was dressed solely according to their measurements. It's an editorial decision that troubles Ashley, who says, "It's part of the reason why magazines like this don't exist anymore."

We talk about bras, boys, and body image — all the good stuff. Have a listen!
