Chromat's 10th anniversary collection, which showed during New York Fashion Week, featured its most diverse cast of models yet. Holliday, who wore an up-cycled dress made from last season's "sample size" t-shirts, called the opportunity "one of the most memorable and emotional moments of my entire career."
She wrote on Instagram, "To know that I've spent my entire career advocating for more diversity in the fashion industry, and to be able to share the runway with so many others with the same mission was a feeling I will never forget."
Tess turned heads at Harper's BAZAAR ICONS bash at New York Fashion Week, where she looked every inch a movie star in a custom gown by Melissa Mercedes.
Speaking at ELLE UK and the British Fashion Council's event titled "Body Positivity and the Changing Landscape in Modeling" during London Fashion Week, Holliday discussed the rejection she continues to face as a not-so prototypical model.
"I get passed for opportunities quite a lot because of my height, size and tattoos," she said. '"I have the value of name recognition, but then they worry about their brand. Now, when my agent tells me I'm on hold for a job, I don't get my hopes up. I meet people and they promise me stuff, it's part of the industry."

The London Queer Fashion Show got an extra dose of ferocity thanks to Tess, who (alongside celebrity pup Dolly Pawton) closed the show in a fabulous faux fur coat by Plus Equals.
"As someone who is getting to know my queer identity, the feeling of being surrounded by so much love, wearing a size inclusive designer & literally being hyped up was an unforgettable moment!!" Holliday wrote on Instagram.
